Vick was a cheat code

I'll never understand the Vick hype translated into actual results. He was a super exciting player to watch run, but he was a below average passer. His numbers throughout his career, both college and pro was pretty bad except for his time in Philly.

If you put him on a most electric player list or a highest ceiling list, I'm all in, but it drives me nuts when people talk about how great he was when there are so many better players overall.
 
Coached against Lamar Jackson when he was at Louisville. Dude was unreal. Worst coached game in my life
 
These "greatest ever" questions are always a challenge, but among the best ever non-Canes?

You would have to catch me having a bad day to convince me it wasn't one of Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, or Jonathan Ogden
 
Suh- dude was insane and a 1 man wrecking crew
Larry Fitzgerald- Man people forget how special dude was at Pitt
,Lamar Jackson- Video game on easy mode
Terrell Suggs- Dude was absolutely unblockable.

Michael Huff- What Vince Young was on offense, he was that on defense. He was top mf tier at Texas

Larry Johnson- at Penn State he was a man amongst boys.

Posluzny- probably Penn State best backer of the decade

It's a lot of "Dudes" we could really list but them dudes I remember vividly.

You know who I’d add? And we forget about him because he had a mediocre NFL career. Sammy Watkins was nasty at Clemson.

I said Barry Sanders earlier and I'll stick by that. However, on the other side of the ball it is really hard to not choose Suh. I remember watching this game live thinking "I've never seen a dude other than Reggie White manhandle O linemen like this before." For the younger dudes or anyone interested in seeing what truly elite DL play looks like, watch this clip and pay particular attention to the replays while watching his hands and hips (pause). Dude was amazing:

Seeing Suh in person you just knew he was different. He was warming up with the TEs catching balls before the game 😂
 
I haven’t read through the entire thread so apologies for what I’m sure are repeats, these are just the ones I think about.

- Michael Vick was so unique and special at the time
- Larry Fitzgerald was incredible to watch. You just knew he was going to tear it up in the NFL.
- Donavan McNabb used to frustrate me when we played Syracuse, and he was fun to watch as a football fan
- Reggie Bush was unreal; give him his Heisman back!
- Ndamakong Suh isn’t even human
- Christian McCaffery is a RB that to me also feels like a TE for some reason? He’s just so massively talented, just made for football, and like Suh, should have won the Heisman

JJ Watt (that bowl game in '09 or whatever was laughable) UW
Jedaveon Clowney USC
Dalvin Cook FSU

Got dammit, why did I forget about Ladanian Tomlinson at TCU? His Jr & Sr yr was other world. 4000+ all purpose yrds & 40 TDs in 2 yrs alone was next level.

Didn't dude have a game where he rushed for over 400? I feel like I remember that.

400 rushing yards in a single game is other worldy.
 
On offense, I don't think people truly appreciate how freakish Cam Newton's 2010 season was. Auburn was a 2-10 team on paper. Their roster was highkey trash. This JUCO QB transfer comes in and literally willed them to a W each week. Gus Malzahn is still getting jobs 15 years later off that one season.

On defense, I've never seen a defensive player as impactful as Ndamukong Suh.
