The only two players that you'd probably argue over VY are Bradford and Tannehill, neither of whom have ever truly been a standout, posted winning records or been to the playoffs.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Let's talk about Garrett Wilson ...)

As an old Oilers fan, anyone remember Jack Pardee's run and shoot youself in the foot?
Agreed, but not with blowing a 41-3 lead at halftime against Buffalo. That loss still stings.
I also remember Andre Ware during his Heisman trophy season when cougar high came to Austin with that offense and at least a two touchdown advantage in the odds. Texas really took it them on that day. One of the best victories ever.
I do not miss the run and shoot yourself in the foot. It's one of my least favorite schemes in football, next to prevent yourself from winning defense.
And yet changed the game to pass heavy and it begot the Spread that everyone is now using.
Some people like this stuff. No one else is really doing it. It's nerd stuff, I will admit.
Agreed to a point, but the spread is NOT the run and shoot. Thank God for that.
I wouldn’t argue either of those over VY. Neither have made the Pro Bowl. Vince made 2 and was also Offensive ROY. His NFL career wasn’t very long, but he went higher as a player in his first couple of years than any other Big12 QB ever has.
On a side note, maaaaaan, Bradford has made the doe, especially for as unproductive/injured as he’s been.
