Once the NFL found out that Schlichter had bet on football games, the league suspended him. Next we’re gonna talk about Dirty Sally’s and After the Gold Rush!Thank you for the clarification...I am certainly not surprised....As for Donley I am guessing he carried himself with class but that's because he was my idol LOL...Growing up watching him play in high school..at OSU & Dallas he was easily Cambridge's favorite son...I never met Art but still shake my head how he side stepped the grim reaper at the age of like 12 but the demons still took him down and the ripple effect was just unrealI am sure we have crossed paths. For the the first time in ten years, he experienced success on the football field. Of note, that ranking included all players and not just quarterbacks. That ratio is about one-tenth of the ratio for a good quarterback.Throughout his four-year college career, Schlichter was one of the most productive players in the entire NCAA. Over the years, Schlichter experienced many gambling-related problems so we continue to remember the true disappointment that made him the #2 NFL Draft Bust.With respect to intangibles, McMahon led BYU to a 46-45 victory against SMU in the 1980 Holiday Bowl after being down by 20 points with 2:33 to go. However, how could he control the outcome with a clipboard and a mop? The following table summarizes the NFL careers of these five quarterbacks.NFL teams took five quarterbacks with the first twelve picks of the 1999 Draft. He avoided trouble for five years but his luck ran out in 2011 when he was incarcerated for fraud. When compared to McMahon (who won a Super Bowl as well as 70% of his starts), Schlichter seems to be even more bust-worthy.I will discuss each of these quarterbacks in the following post.
As the fifth quarterback taken in the draft, Pagel went after Schlichter, Jim McMahon (First Team All-America out of BYU and future Super Bowl Champion), Oliver Luck (yeah, Andrew’s dad), and Matt Kofler (a one-year wonder out of San Diego State). To complete the miraculous comeback, McMahon connected on a Hail Mary pass as time expired.From 1995 to 2006, Schlichter was in some form of jail or prison for 10 out of 12 years. Pagel also finished the season with the 5th highest passer efficiency rating (139.4) in the NCAA.
