Would have put Dalton ahead of Huuuuuuuughes.

My buddy and I were actually debating this the other day. Who would you rather have quarterbacking your team: Andy Dalton or Max Duggan?

Andy Duggan!

By the time he was an upperclassman I think Andy was the better QB, but in a situation where you need your QB to will his team to victory you would want Max.

[Also, it tells you everything you need to know about TCU football that there's no one on this list between 1961 and 1997.]

Depends on how good the line is, but assuming it’s a good one, AD and it’s not close. Bad line, it’s closer.

 

[Double D]

How do you not have Kenneth Davis on there?

Terrible list. O'Brien or Sammy are the greatest in TCU history.

Count me as team Tornado! I’m biased. Don’t care.

From reading the comments, it would be easy to understand that there could be 20+ "10 greatest TCU football players of all time.".

The one I think about is Kelly Blackwell. Not saying he belongs top ten but he was phenomenal.

 

[Frognosticator]

I would have put LaMarcus McDonald somewhere on there.

Extend it out to the Top 20 All Time and there'd be some.

 

[hometown frog]

Dalton above Hughes. Adding Kenneth Davis and Kai Aldrich somewhere towards the bottom are needed to make my top 10 list.

then the rest is a great debate about those players prob in the top 20.

 

[4 Oaks Frog]

Tank Carter for an Honorable Mention…

I would have to try to get Mike Renfro on there.
I know he's from an era we sometimes try to forget.

 

[tcudoc]

Jim Swink
Ki Aldrich
The above should likely be everyone's top 6
Rags Matthews
Kenneth Davis
Darrell Lester
Aaron Schobel
Andy Dalton
Max Duggan
Josh Doctson
Mike Renfro
Kelly Blackwell
Bo Schobel
Jason Verrett
Norm Evans
Jerry Hughes
Jeremy Kerley

I.B. Hale
Kyle Clifton
Sherrill Headrick
Michael Reeder

Honorable Mentions:
Jaden Oberkrom

Barret Robbins
Ryan Tucker
Drew Coleman

So many more that are deserving...

 

[StartWearingPurple2020]

I 100% get taking into team success/character/legacy, but I can't be alone in thinking Boykin could be above Duggan (and arguably Andy) in all time-rankings. Though I guess this ranking didn't come with any formal criteria.

He holds almost every major passing record for the school, and in my opinion was part of the 2nd best team in recent history only behind the rose bowl team.

*I would still have Andy 1 spot higher for consistency, Boykin's first 2 years were quite a rollercoaster.
