I think Robert Griffin III would have been the next elite quarterback in the future, but his knee injuries had derailed his career and he was never the same again

As a Broncos fan, I would take a Tebow season over the last 7 years any day.

Case Keenum might be my all-time favorite Vikings QB, man he was perfect for us since we never invest in an O-line and he scrambled amazingly under pressure. Sad he never saw the heights on that year again

Correction: The team rushed RGIII's recovery and played him when he clearly was not ready and THAT is what ruined the guy's career.

So sad about RG3…dude was an exceptional generational talent and it just took one wrong step to mess all that up 😔was never a huge fan of his at the time but the more I hear about his stats and see him actually play the sadder it gets we won’t get a chance to see him unfold to the player he was meant to be

Jeff Hostetler - The back-up for the NY Giants who had to takeover for an injured Phil Sims during part of the '90 season, and ended up leading the Giants to a 20-19 victory over Buffalo in Super Bowl XXV. In that SB Hostetler completed 20 of 32 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown.

I think Nick Foles belongs in this category as well. He did have a good 2nd year season where he threw 27 TDs and only 2 picks (He had a game where he threw 7 TDs as well). But i definitely think he will always be remembered for that super bowl win with the Eagles (his 2nd stint). Other than those 2 years he hasn't done anything of note and has a QB record of 29-29

Tim Tebow is the biggest one year wonder in sports history in terms of popularity

[Stop_arguing_with_strangers]

RG3s injury is still absolutely grueling and mind boggling to watch. He’d made that step countless times in his career

[bonecanoe]

I still consider Carson Wentz to be a One-Year Wonder. He went from being a god in 2017 to being a joke over the following 6 years.

The year Grossman took Chicago to the Super Bowl, he [Grossman] was highly erratic. He also threw 20 INTs that season and had several horrid starts. The defense carried him.

[PassRoyalr]

Rex Grossman is not a 1 year wonder. Even in the 2006 season he was an interception machine and was carried by a loaded roster to the super bowl. The bears were literally winning games when Grossman put up a passer rating of 1. A qb like brady or manning on the 2006 bears would have gone 19-0 easily

[broadstreetbullies]

I will never forgive Washington for ruining RGIII

[saludanite]

Good to remember all these fantastic years.
They DID HAPPEN and and people got very excited about them!

[goingrogue]

There were a lot of teams that wanted to sign Tebow and convert him to a TE. They knew he actually wasn't a good QB.

[SebboRex]

Keenum as a mentor seems to work as Stroud had a pretty decent start into his NFL career.

[sportsbycompian]

RGIII was so fun to watch, bummer how it turned out for him but at least he went into broadcasting

[abnuridd]

That hit RG took from Haloti Ngata was brutal. That's what had him like that in the first place.

[eddieparker]

Case Keenan was a future as a QB coach or offensive coordinator . He's wise, realistic & humble 👍👍👍. As Mentor to the QBS of tomorrow is A great 👍!!

[thomasibach]

RG3 was a legit talent who lost a career due to injuries. Tim Tebow was a celebrity who only got the chances he did despite being unable to throw at the nfl level due to his name.
