    Taking a look back at former Heisman Trophy winners, only 2 QB's fared well in the NFL.. As many know this upcoming draft offers two Heisman winners in Winston and Mariota.

    How Heisman winners fared in the NFL | Sporting News

    Shout out to Eddie George for his Heisman back in the day. My favorite Titan of all-time.

    Upon looking back at the list of names, I was honestly surprised how many Heisman winning QB's were NFL busts. I know the college game is more spread out so guys aren't as exposed as easily, but its alarming that since 2000 9 out of 11 QB's didn't live up to expectations. usually top drafted QB's are closer to 50/50 but nearly 90% of Heisman QB's have stunk as pros...

    Tim Tebow is the only Heisman winner to win a playoff game in a long time.

    Carson Palmer is decent here and there, but he hasn't exactly lived up to being that high of a draft pick.

    Cam could go either way at this point, but he seems to be making consistent progress and is in the top 10 QB conversation now. Give him a better supporting cast on offense, and then we'll see what he can really do. That OL isn't much better than ours, but at least Cam can make up for a bad OL.

    Palmer had some really unfortunate injuries, at a time it looked like he would join Payton Manning/Brady (okay probably a step below) but he never really looked the same after the injury.

    You can win a SB with either of them though, and thats the point.

    Do y'all think any real qb would be in a commercial with the 40 as the showcase.

    I'm fine with Mett, so long as they give him weapons. I just think they are putting a lot of pressure and faith in him after only 6 games (even though I think he did what he could all things considered). I mean, we have friggin CBJ and Jordan Palmer in the cupboard.
