Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Is DAT the closest thing to the "Rocket"?

    Reggie Bush is the greatest college football player I've ever seen. Certainly better than DAT. Never watched "the rocket" play.

    Bush was incredible, but I don't think he's the greatest college football player. I would go with Vince Young over Bush. Ndamukong Suh would be my choice for best defensive player of the past 15 years.

    Vince Young was the best player on the field that day but I'm still taking Bush. He electrified college football for a solid three years straight.
    Too tough to call, and there's not really a right or wrong answer. I would agree that Bush had the more consistent career, but Young's junior season was incredible. That was a great championship game. I was pissed that USC lost. I loved watching those USC teams.

    This will make me sound like a bigger homer than Damon Huard, but Steve Emtman might have been the best football player I've ever seen.

    This thread is worthless. Michael Vick is the answer to everything and its not even close.

    Faulk rushed for a 158 yards as freshman against Miami in 1991. I would say that is a step above juco. 220 against USC, decent.

    Young was unstoppable in that game when it mattered most, but Bush had a far better college career.

    And if we're expanding this to include QB's I'm with apag, Vick > Young

    Hershel Walker was the best player on the field. 'Nuff said on that.

    The 1979 USC offensive line had the attitude and was always ready to rumble

    Here are the best players I've seen over the last 25 years:

    Barry Sanders
    Andre Ware
    Ty Detmer
    Desmond Howard
    Gino Torretta
    Charlie Ward
    Rashaan Salaam
    Eddie George
    Danny Wuerffel
    Charles Woodson
    Ricky Williams
    Ron Dayne
    Chris Weinke
    Eric Crouch
    Carson Palmer
    Jason White
    Matt Leinart
    Troy Smith
    Tim Tebow
    Sam Bradford
    Mark Ingram
    Cam Newton
    Robert Griffin III
    Johnny Manziel



    Note: Players in bold are the only players who were actually worth being on the list. It's an insult to Barry Sanders to be on the list with the others.

    Vick was an amazing talent, but he didn't put up the numbers to match up with some of the other guys who have been mentioned.
