College Standouts - Quarterbacks

Alright since we are using free agents to make teams, and half of the free agents are not good. Mykl had the idea of creating players, so for this we were thinking off College Standouts meaning College players who were good but didn't make it to the pros or tryed but now they are not.
So I searched and found a couple guys, Mykl brought up the Oklahoma Sooners former QB Jason White. I will post some in formation about them and why they are not in the pros today, For creating the players we are going to have to look at stats and decide on thier pros and cons to make thier ratings. This post is for Quarterbacks only, I will make a seperate post for each position. Here are some of the guys I found.

NAME NUMBER COLLEGE AGE HEIGHT AWARDS / ACHIVEMENTS

Jason White #18 Oklahoma 28 6’3 226 Former Heisman Trophy Winner
Info: Jason White was a former Heisman Trophy Winner. As a succesful starter in college he wasn't the same in the pros. He played in the Spring squad for the Tennessee Titans but was released due to injury.

Chris Leak #12 Florida 24 5’11 212 Former National Championship MVP
Info: Chris Leak a former Nat. Champ. for Florida, he was signed by the bears and was a 3rd string for one year. He then annouced he would play for Team Florida in the All American Football League but the league has suspended it's start for 2009. He has signed with two diff. CFL teams but hasn't seen action.

Jared Zabransky #5 Boise State 24 6’2 219 Former Fiesta Bowl MVP
Info: Zabransky is most famous for leading the Broncos of Boise State to upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. He was also the Cover Athlete for NCAA FOOTBALL 08. He was undrafted but signed with Houston in the NFL, however Head Coach Gary Kubiak prefers to have only two QBs and cut Zabransky off the roster. He also signed with the steelers but was cut after injury and is now a free agent.

Tim Couch #2 Kentucky 31 6’4 225 Former #1 NFL Draft Pick
Info: Tim Couch was drafted Number 1 overall by the Cleveland Browns in 1999, but did not live up to his reputation there. So he is now a free agent in the NFL and has been in the league for 9 years, if you want experiance and a leader then Couch is a good way to go.

Quincy Carter #17 Georgia 31 6'2 213 Former NFL Starting QB
Info: Carter played college for the Georgia Bulldogs, where he won the SEC Freshman of the year in 1998. He has played for a couple NFL teams most known for his stint with the Dallas Cowboys there he started as a rookie and had a great year. He lost the job in his second season. He gained it back however in his 3rd season but was released the year after. He started 3 games for the New York Jets but was released due to drug realated offers. Since he has skipped around from the CFL, AFL, and af2, he is now a NFL and AFL free agent.

Aaron Brooks # 2 Virginia 32 6'4 220 Saints all-time Touchdown Passer
Info: Brooks is most famous for being a star QB for the New Orleans Saints, where he currently holds the record for the most touchdown passes. He is also known for being former Atlanta Falcons QB Mike Vick's cousin. He played one season at Oakland. He has retired from the NFL but (play along) has told MLF commisioner he wants to be a franchise QB in the MLF.


Alright I know there are only 5, tonight I plan on helping Mykl (raysox) in getting all the free agent QBs up. If you know of any more College Standouts at QB please leave a comment and tell us.

Okay I will find out about him.

Mykl how many QB Free Agents are there, I just wrote down all of them off of my Madden game, but I dont know if yours and mine's ratings very a bit. Maybe not, anyways I was able to get 20 Free Agents in all including All of the College Standouts named so far. I included some guys that have been skiping into and out of the Free Agency as well, who are the main GEMS out there I will give you a HINT.

Jason White 82
Chad Pennington 82
David Carr 82
Chris Leak 80
