Ranking Michigan’s Quarterbacks

Sports fans love to debate the greatness of players and rank them in order from most revered to most despised. And while despised probably doesn’t fit any of these players, since they played for the University of Michigan, we all have our favorites. I have endeavored to achieve the un-possible: Rank all of Michigan’s starting quarterbacks.

Okay, that’s too tall of a task for me right now. I’m working up to it. So I’m only going back to 1995, which was the beginning of the Lloyd Carr era. That’s the earliest full coaching tenure where I can count on my recollections of Michigan football. I was a big fan of Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller, and the Michigan Wolverines before then, but I’ll be damned if I say I was aware enough to understand what was happening on the field.

This ranking only takes into account what the quarterbacks achieved wearing the winged helmet. High school highlight tapes and NFL performance aren’t taken into account. (After all, we can agree that Tom Brady is far and away the best quarterback who ever played the game of football, and that includes Uncle Rico.)

So if you were starting a season with your pick of any Michigan QB since 1995, which one would you take?

The Super Bowl is tonight

Michigan has several representatives in the Super Bowl tonight, and if you’re rooting based on Michigan ties, the Kansas City Chiefs are your team:

• DE Taco Charlton (reserve/injured)
• DE Frank Clark
• DE Mike Danna
• QB Chad Henne
• OG Patrick Omameh (practice squad)

If you’re rooting for the GOAT, Tom Brady, then here are your fellow Wolverines:

• QB Tom Brady
• P Matt Wile (practice squad)

Either way, tonight is going to be a good night for at least a couple wearers of the Maize and Blue.

What’s your prediction?

I’ll say 34-27, Chiefs.
