Who was the best college QB you saw play in person?
- Thread starter saturdaysarebetter
- Start date
Tough to go against Flutie and Brees. They didn't have the supporting cast of some of the other really good QB's.
From 1977 until the seat license deal i attended all but 4 maybe 5 home games, so I've seen many visiting Qbs. I still rate Kerry Collins senior year as good as any.
Saw Ty Detmer throw for 576 yards in the 1989 Holiday Bowl. Also saw Penn State win that game.
The best opposing QB I saw in person was definitely Flutie. Saw his first college appearance in '81 at Beaver Stadium. Lions were pummeling BC and Flutie came in and took the offense right down the field at the end of the game for a TD and I said this kid should start. Then in '84 he was back at Beaver Stadium and he made plays I've never seen made before or since. On one he was chased towards the east sideline, pivoted back counter-clockwise away from the south endzone and fired a pass through a needle for a completion. Incredible athlete.
Best QB season was Kerry in '94. Either Chuck Fusina's or Trace's junior years was probably #2.

Figured you went to the 48-14 game. Only a true dipshit would be impressed by someone playing against Temple.Your question was who was the best college QB I saw in person, I saw Marino against Temple in person Never saw him against PSU. Never saw Testaverde or Kelly etc in person.
The 48-14 game is not one I saw in-person so it’s not commenurate to your question.
Do you even understand the question you asked? Dipshit.
Flutie, Brady, Marino, Brees, Major Harris, Esiason, Montana if you count the Big 33, Kelly,
TOMMY SHUMAN, from POTTSTOWN,PA. PSU...1972.1973..most valuable player in COTTON bowl and most valuable in SUGAR bowl. Guess what Heisman trophy winner was also in the backfield those games??? HE NEVER GOT THE RESPECT HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN!!!!!! HE FORCED A 5 STAR QB. TO TRANSFER TO TEMPLE111
Have seen many good qbs but the only future HOF qb I saw in person was Brees. Saw 2 of the 3 Psu wins. We were the only b10 team he didn’t beat!!!

Yep, now just what HS did Fusina, Jones, and DiMichelle go to?
Sto-Rox. My Dad was a Rox High grad in the 30's and Stowe was a bitter rival then.
Judging by your earlier pictures, black and white?
Brady? Brady wasn’t even good enough to be the full time starter at Michigan. He split time with Drew Henson. Brady in college was not the Brady of the NFL.
Vince Young, Blackledge, Hufnagle, Major Harris, Hostetler (WVU version), Burkhart, Shuman

This is difficult because I been fortunate to see a few good to great QBs in person. Below are my choices in no particular order.Dan Marino, Pittsburgh
Drew Brees, Purdue -- has been quoted as supposedly saying that his greatest regret in football is not beating PSU
Doug Flutie, Boston College
Kerry Collins, PSU
Todd Blackledge, PSU
Chuck Fusina, PSU
Chuck Burkhart, PSU
Frank Reich, Maryland
Boomer Esiason, Maryland
Dave Clark, PSU
John Hufnagel, PSU
There maybe a couple of others ... Have been very fortunate.
Jim Harbaugh ! He made all of the right decisions on the field and was probably one of the smartest CF QBs ever. His intelligence has obviously transferred over into his HC ability.
He's very straight forward and his press conferences are easy to understand. It's taken him 5 or 6 years to get everything in place, but his dominance of CF is about to take off. Move over Alabama !

I saw Brady throw two TD passes in the 4th quarter, at Beaver Stadium. Both throws were beautiful.
