You really cannot rate all the great quarterbacks. Example would be Terry Elston for one drive to win a game. Did it twice in one year, A&M and Nebraska. Danny Davis did the same in his day. And that takes nothing away from Keenum or Ward. And I am sure quarterbacks before my time did the same. We have a long list of great quarterbacks. Another I have not seen mentioned is DC Nobles and he was before my time.

I’d like to mention D’eriq King who scored 50 tds in one year.

We have been blessed at the quarterback position. Except for 1975, the Coogs went from 1965-1982 with very good to exceptional quarterback play. I still believe that if Aubrey McMillian had not gotten injured in 1982, he would have been the best veer quarterback of all time.

Speaking of kangaroo courts, anybody else see what a federal court just did with Sorsby?

coogman91 has a theory based upon the expert evidence presented.
Whatever… I’m glad he can play… NO EXCUSES when we whip that a$$ in week 3!
Hopefully he will be in prison on income tax evasion by the time the season rolls around.

I saw D.C. Nobles and mentioned him in my post.
King transferred away from UH, therefore he is ineligible to be the UH QB GOAT.
The Sorsby judge might overrule me though.

We have been blessed with so many really good quarterbacks here at UH…but as far as leadership and having a coach behind center, I would go with Moon Mullins and Case Keenum.

The football office MAILED out VHS TAPES to the voters on a weekly basis during the season because we were prohibited from post season and TV.

I disagree. It will be a circus and we will be the clowns after we get whipped on national TV. We better hope there is intervention by the NCAA and the courts. There is already talk of schools not playing Yosemite Sam.
I still have an autographed picture from Ware hanging on my wall. I got it a week or two after he won the Heisman (I was in HS.) I put his rookie football cards inside the frame. I also have an autographed picture from Wilson Whitley framed and on my UH bookcase. I got it at a football camp back in the 80’s.

We ain’t getting whipped Gregg… Willie’s running the show now and he doesn’t like losing…
QB with the best arm, very sadly got caught in the middle during the Jenkins-Helton transition.
Aa forgotten aa anyone could be. As highly a touted quarterback recruit as there could have been, but committing to UH early he wasn’t really that good LOL.
Chuck Clements.

Chuck Clements. Good thought. He could have been great with the right coaches. Totally wasted by Helton.

QBs Chuck Clements and Jason McKinley played in UH’s Twilight Zone era of football, both being coached by Kim Helton, and McKinley for one year by Dana Dimel. Both were promising prospects coming out of Texas high schools, but overall recruiting had dropped off, exacerbated by Kim Helton’s lack of success connecting with Texas high school coaches, and mediocre records. Probably the highlight during the Twilight Zone years was 1996, when UH was co-CUSA champion, and UH and Chuck Clements and lost to Donovan McNabb led Syracuse, in the Liberty Bowl, 30-17.
McKinley, and especially Clements, had offers to go elsewhere and chose UH, which was a bright spot in an otherwise forgettable period in UH football.
