He was a wr that shared qb duties until his Jr year I believe. Really good dual threat qb but didn't overly excell at either. Everyone wanted the next VY dual threat and he was anointed. Legendary status? Only in Collie Station where he actually earned it imo.
He was 28-0 as the starter in 2 years and was the 5A offensive player of the year in the state. Brees was really good.
It's all subjective. Brees was lighting it up until he blew his ACL which is why most recruiters passed on him, including UT. When he came back I think West Lake went undefeated through the state championship.
Just like any other top whatever list, if it's not YOUR list then it is wrong. Who'd you have for your top 3?
Yes I concur with Kyler being the best of all time. Mayfield a distant 2nd.Is Kyler Murray the best QB from Texas?
ESPN canvased Texas to find the best high school quarterback in its history, and dozens of names came back -- Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes and Drew Brees among them -- but Murray was singled out the most.www.espn.com
To be fair we can't fault him for it.
Manziel had some insane numbers his senior year. It was my last year coaching and they played a few teams we played and I saw some games on film. The dude was unstoppable. I thought he was a little overhyped because of the competition and his WRs did a really good job of getting open when he scrambled. He had 77 touchdowns, 3600 passing yards 1700 rushing yards and put up some insane numbers vs Lake Travis, SA Madison and Steele. They were probably the second best 4A team in the state, the just couldn't get past Lake Travis.
Bobby Layne was good in his time, but he only completed 49% of his passes in his NFL career. And back then, they didn't throw the ball nearly as often as they do now.
Wow haven’t heard that name in a long time. I watched Odell at Mac. Dude was VY before VY.
Really the narrative that Emmitt always had some all world line isn’t true. He had an elite offensive line from 90-95. The 95 season is when they all started getting old.
I saw a few Allen Eagles games during the 2011 season. Alec Morris, a 6'3" Alabama commit, was the QB. Periodically, a much shorter, quicker QB would come in as a change of pace QB. That QB looked tiny compared to everyone else. But, also, much, much quicker. I'd never seen any player that quick. He took over the game for the few plays that he was in.Is Kyler Murray the best QB from Texas?

3 things--
You can't really compare guys from different eras though. 60% completion percentage was above average in Montana and Elway's era. I'm sure a 49% completion percentage was actually pretty good for that era.
