Renfro benefited from playing for Dallas. He was not as good as Rashad. Mariota has had a lackluster NFL career (I am only going by their NFL standings) similar to Derek Anderson (never a Heisman candidate). Van Brocklin was better known as a coach in the NFL than a player, but that might also be just how long ago he was a player so hard to compare.

I will go Fouts #3. But I am probably being a Vikings homer
You a "homer", Brian...good lordy...impossible!
