Quarterbacks during the Ditka era.....
 

I was talking to a friend of mine, he being a Detroit fan, and we were both discussing the miserable QB history our teams have had over the years. But I really can't remember too many of our QB's prior to the Jeff Blake/Aaron Brooks year. I remember Tolliver, but that's about it. I tried to look it up online, but no such luck. Could somebody either list some of them for me or direct me to a link. Much appreciated.

Danny Wuerfel, Heath Shuler, Billy Joe Hobert, Billy Joe Tulliver, Jake Delhomme, Kerry Collins...

Let's see there was Hobert, Weurfell, Delhomme, Tolliver, Shuler and I believe that is all of the QBs that started duiring the Ditka era.

How could I forget Collins.

Thanks guys. I knew there was a reason I had forgotten.;)

I'm gagging and coughing up hairballs over here, thinking about that WASTE of 3 years under "Da-No Coach" Ditka. The scene where Wuerfel sat up after a sack peeping through the earhole in his helmet epitomizes that entire era. The sad part of it all, we were all estatic when AB became the starter -- that's how pitiful the quarterback play had become.

Some very slight glimmers of hope during that time . . . Delhomme, one of the Billy Joe's (Tolliver), and (a year after Ditka) Blake (he got the boot when Haz found his man in AB).

ugh...don't get me started on the whole blake/ab thing. blake was having a career year before that injury.

Re: Quarterbacks during the Ditka era.....
 

Yeah, he was dumped out with the trash because of Haz's man-crush on AB

Re: Quarterbacks during the Ditka era.....
 

During the three year Ditka era, four different quarterbacks made starts in all three years.

1997 - Heath Shuler, Danny Wuerffel, Billy Joe Hobert, Doug Nussmeier.

1998 - Billy Joe Tolliver, Danny Wuerffel, Billy Joe Hobert, Kerry Collins.

1999 - Billy Joe Tolliver, Danny Wuerffel, Billy Joe Hobert, Jake Delhomme.
