Dice
But USC had Vince Evans, Todd Marinavich, Matt Leinert and Paul Macdonald. At least Carson Palmer has been somewhat of a success. Not to go all the way back but Frank Gifford wasn't too shabby of a running back convert for the Giants.

You're right tat, UCLA doesn't have the same sad list that USC and Florida has. Aikman, with his SB victories and HOF career carries them. Pitt is another college with sad pro QB's other than Marino. Heck, Penn State for that matter can brag about Todd Blackledge, OK, maybe not.

dice I am afraid that you are right. I watched him play at the LA Coliseum for 2 years and I was impressed. He really seemed to be a great pro prospect. Some guys just can't take it to the next level. I guess he should have played for Florida. He could be part of a long list. UCLA has their list too. Mark Harmon, Gary Beban, Rich Neuheisel, Cade McNown and others. Troy Aikman, Billy Kilmer, Kenny Washington and Bob Waterfield were sure not on that list.

AFL player at best. You're stretching Tat. If a QB isn't in the pros right now, there is absolutely no way that they would be a quality starter for anyone.

Olson had a unique knack for getting rid of the ball under defensive rush pressure. This was his greatest attribute, other than a strong arm. I believe his last name is spelled Olson.
