A lousy QB who turned around an 0-4 team, has a winning record and a big playoff win. He's probably the best lousy QB in history.

He might be the only lousy quarterback to have won the Heisman Trophy.

“He might be the only lousy quarterback to have won the Heisman Trophy.”

You’re kidding, right? NFL draft history is full of Heisman winning quarterbacks who never panned out at the NFL level.

There is so much information available on the interweb, it just makes sense to view it before you step in it.

Here’s your list of Heisman Trophy Winning QBs since 1990.

Ty Detmer (25 starts in 14 seasons)
Gino Torretta (got into a grand total of 1 game)
Charlie Ward (played in the NBA instead)
Danny Wuerffel (biggest football moment came in NFL Europe)
Chris Weinke (Trent Dilfer’s backup)
Eric Crouch (not drafted as a qb)
Carson Palmer (ok, a decent career until he held out)
Jason White (not drafted)
matt Leinart
Tim Tebow
Sam Bradford
Cam Newton
Robert Griffin
Jahhny Manziel

A heisman trophy seems to be more of a curse to qbs than anything else.

Look into which quaterbacks have won the Heisman. There are far more busts in that list than game-breakers.
