noo yawk
could use help, please. i'm putting together a top 5 list to play off of kellen clemens getting folks excited for one good quarter for the jets the other day.

i'm looking for guys who got fans excited with one game or brief stretch, then flopped. like browning nagle, scott mitchell, the cowboys' thanksgiving-day hero whatshisname, etc. names, anyone? ??? ??? ???
 
C'mon shockey, you're missing the most obvious one: Ray Lucas. Goes 6-2 or something down the stretch for the woebegone '99 Jets and nearly makes the playoffs...then never does anything ever again.

The Cowboys' guy was Jason Garrett, I think.
 
Ryan Fitzpatrick for the Rams two years ago. Third-string quarterback, comes in to lead the team to a comeback win over the Texans (bomb to Isaac Bruce in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, then throws a short pass that Kevin Curtis turns into a touchdown in OT). Makes another start or two, doesn't win again. Traded to the Bengals at the end of this year's camp.
 
Clint Longley was the cowboy's qb in the Thanksgiving game, 1974.

good suggestions, all. how about my fellow old timers with names from the '60s and '70s?
 
Speaking of the topic, who is the only quarterback to start a Super Bowl for two different teams?

And what is the only team in the NFL that has drafted three Super Bowl winning quarterbacks?
 
Hell, the Majik Man, Don Majkowsi, or whatever the hell his name was...

Scott Zolak had people in New England excited for a couple of months back in the day when an 8-8 season was the impossible dream.

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted John Unitas, Len Dawson and Terry Bradshaw. All were the starting quarterback in the Super Bowl for the winning team, though Unitas was knocked out of Super Bowl V in the second quarter.
 
The eternal training camp hero of the Washington Redskins....Babe Laufenberg.
