Rank the mid/late 90s UM QBs

[Genghis Cane]

I wasn’t old enough to remember any of them, so I’d like to hear from the older guys on the board. Your options are as follows:

Frank Costa
Ryan Clement
Ryan Collins
Scott Covington
Kenny Kelly

It is basically that order.

It is basically that order.

No, Covington belongs way above Collins.

 

[jmcanes22]

No, Covington belongs way above Collins.

That argument can be made. I just thought Collins had the goods. It wasn’t because Uncle Puke tried force the kid in the line up.

where did this come from?

where did this come from?

Probably playing old NCAA 1997 on PlayStation. Wanted to know some history.

where did this come from?

Saw a clip of Costa beating FSU in 94 on YouTube and then clicked the link of Covington beating UCLA in 98.

Remember seeing Ryan Collins come in mop up duty.... Thought he was the truth.... I was wrong

Oh..okay proceed boomer lol

IMO:

Covington
Clements
Kelly
Costa
Collins

If Kelly was coming through now, he would an absolute star as a QB. I think he would have have concentrated just on football back then, he had potential to be great.

Honestly, Covington was the best of the bunch.

Kenny Kelly could play really, really good; but then he could play REALLY REALLY BAD.

I'd put Clement over Costa.

 

[bhcanes45]

Covington was the best of the bunch. Kenny Kelly had potential but had some serious accuracy issues .

 

[SWFLHurricane]

It is basically that order.

No its not

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Costa was Trash

 

[ddann]

HonestlyI'd put Clement over Costa.

Good point. Costa played with a ton of talent around him. Clement did not.

 

[Gatorhater]

Even though I had given up real heavy drinking by then, I still seem to have total blackout from Geno to Kenny. Are we really sure there were QBs in between?

 

[AUcane]

lol at Costa being the best.

Covington
Kelly
Clements
Costa
Collins

Kelly had the tools to be #1.

 

[CampHillCane]

Covington was the best of that bunch.

Probably put Clement second. I mean, Vince McMahon brought him to the XFL and that guy knows talent. *winkwink*

Then Collins, Kelly, Costa.

 

[GojiraCane]

Kenny Kelly had the most raw talent.

Ryan Clements showed the most fire and determination - honestly I have not seen such intensity at the time in anyone else other than Dan Marino.

Overall I'd rate them:

1. Ryan Clement
2. Kenny Kelly
3. Scott Covington
4. Frank Costa
5. Ryan Collins
