If VICK would have returned for his Jr. and Sr. year and won ZERO games


He would have had more career wins than John Elway.

And you may say "Well, Stanford sucked back in those days."

Stanford was 5-5-1, 6-5, 4-7, 6-5 respectively when Elway was there.

The year before Elway was there, the Cardinal went 8-4 and won the Bluebonnet Bowl.

Stanford also won the Pac-8 twice and won the Rose Bowl twice in the previous decade and had a Heisman winner (Jim Plunkett).

So Stanford was hardly a dog program.

Now I'm not taking anything away from John Elway's pro career. He was the best ever, before Brady, IMO. And obviously NFL scouts saw the generational talent and they were right.

But Michael Vick took a program that was hardly on the college football map, and took them to the near pinnacle of college football. Tech wasn't nearly as good before, and hasn't been as good after.

  Sounds right. I just said Elway was good at Stanford. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 08/06/2021 1:37PM
