Best CU QB of all time

[Highlander]

So the followers of CU Sports Nation choose Hagan. I'm not sure that was much of a competition. Had Kordell beat the Huskers in 94 and gone on to win the National Championship, I could see this being a never ending debate. But he didn't.

Anyone have other thoughts?

Hagan and Stewart had different skill sets, but Darian's overall body of work gives him the edge. Kordell had mor pro upside because of his size and arm strength.

Doesn’t Hawkins still own the majority of the passing records?




I’ll show myself out.

Taylor Barton? Oh no wait! Clark Evans!!!

 

[LongHaulBuff]

Hilarious how Hawkins loses 200 yards in total offense vs passing.

 

[pcbuff]

For me in the modern era it’s Slash.

Jeremy Weisinger. Think I spelled that right?

[Dark Bohner]

Pretty easy choice. Hagan was the best CU QB of all time.
Kordell and Detmer were better pro prospects, but not better at CU.

 

[BuffsNYC]

Hagan, sure, but Bobby Anderson is in the conversation.

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

Maybe not the greatest but Sefo, Moschetti and Hessler would be a close call for toughest of all time.

 

[Buffnik]

Best option QB? Hagan
Best dual-threat QB? Kordell
Best pocket QB? Koy

This. Hagan may be the best option QB of all time in CFB.

Where’s the love for Connor Wood? Lol

Opposing defenses seemed to love him

 

[BuffUp]

I loved Kordell but he always came out slow in the BIG games. Would always go 0-11 before finally hitting a pass.

Pesavento always has a place in my heart, Dude won "the big one" for us.

Koy always looked skinny and slow, but had amazing timing and touch - and probably the longest NFL career.

Hagan was the Man. He was so fun to watch and the competitiveness was off the charts.

He was a sturdy oak who would always leaf everything on the field.

Solid!

Cody is not in the conversation. We all know why he played QB at CU. He was not even the best QB on the roster much of his time at CU, much less even in the conversation for GOAT.

JMO.

+1. Including the padding of his stats a la KU.
