Top 10 college players of the 90's

[Codaxx]

I mentioned his passer rating, which was all I needed to say about his passing. I think we can both agree that a guy with a completion percentage under 50 isn't the best passer ever. My point was that neither his raw rushing numbers nor YPC are very good. He just wasn't that good statistically.

The only argument he has going for him is winning percentage. But even that is flawed, since he played for a guy who never lost more than three games his entire career. In the ten years before Frazier came, Nebraska went 98-22-1. He was 33-3 as a starter. In the ten years before Dayne came to Wisconsin, we went 41-68-4. He went 37-13 as a starter (21-3 as a Junior and Senior). And as clutch as Frazier was, Dayne ran for 246 and 200 in his two Rose Bowls, where he went 2-0. It's tough to be more clutch than that.

I think you are missing the pt. he was one of the greatest option QBs to play the game. He was nearly flawless in his decision making. His role was similar to Wuerfel. That guy had little arm strength, but made the right read consistently. Much bigger mental aspect to his game than people give him credit for

Winning percentage, along with conference titles and national titles. He won the Big 8 4 times, and won 2 national titles. True, Osborne never lost less than 3 in a year, but until Tommie came along he didn't have a national title. In addition to the national titles he won, the 1993 Nebraska team was a missed field goal away from another one.

So a QB with a passer rating of 138 and barely over 2,000 yards rushing on 5.7 YPC is ahead of a guy with over 7,000 career rushing yards on 5.8 YPC? It seems like the functional equivalent of saying Ken Norton Jr. from 1992-1994 was the greatest linebacker ever.

You're adorable.

The kid is so lost and clueless. Beyond saving.

No Lawrance Phillips?

I would agree but people tend to leave him off lists like this for obvious reasons. He was incredible though.

I figured if I brought that up people would complain about off field problems.

Complain all they want he was a true stud on the field. One of the best I ever saw at running back.

He made the list. Are you really crying about him not being put in the #1 spot?

Lawrence Phillips might be the greatest player I've ever seen come through the Nebraska program. Unfortunately he might also be the shittiest human being.

He was like Adrian Peterson if Adrian Peterson had LP's power game and balance.

They're close. At best equals. If LP just wasn't such a violent person...

I always thought Billy Sims was better than Peterson. At Oklahoma anyway.

Eh, Barry Switzer still raves about Marcus Dupree being better than any of them.

Probably because he had to go to more trouble to get Marcus.
