The first time was in 2019, when Duck Hodges’ Steelers beat Kyler Murray’s Cardinals

WE ARE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS WITH A TERRIBLE COACH?

[–] Starman_Delux@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Totally forgot Duck Hodges was a thing and as soon as I close this tab I'll go right back to that.

[–] HchrisH@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Would you rather right 100 Duck-sized Hodges or 1 Hodge-sized Duck?

Duck Hodges in the 241/2th century

Imagine being beaten by a fictional crime fighting duck or whoever that is

Duckman, Duck Dodgers, Howard the Duck.

Duck got himself a handful.

The ghost of Adam theilen and an average TE being your best weapons doesn’t really help

[–] DriveByStoning@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, Adam has been crushing it most of the year. He still had 6 catches.

His best week came with Andy Dalton at QB against the Seahawks, so take that as you will.

[–] Sniper_Hare@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's not even short, he's like 5'10.

[–] beer_down@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Put another way, no QB #1 pick over 5’9 has ever lost to an undrafted rookie QB

[–] Putin-Hohol-Oops@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I thought the bears beat the Panthers. Weird

Room didn’t throw a pass his first two seasons.

[–] dylansucks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Romo so elite he beat a #1 pick on his own team.

Tyson Bagent played at Shepherd University and lost to Colorado School of Mines 44-13 in his last college game. But Bryce Young lol

[–] FormerCollegeDJ@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That game was the D2 football national semifinals last season.

[–] KeithClossOfficial@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People keep using this as some weird flex, without realizing School of Mines is a good program. It just has a funny name.

Bagent is a bad QB because of what he has(n’t) done in the NFL, not because of Mines

[–] FormerCollegeDJ@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Actually, I think those last 5 college football games Bagent played that they showed during the Amazon Prime Video broadcast were 1) the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) championship game (which Shepherd lost to IUP, aka Indiana University of Pennsylvania) and 4) four D2 playoff games (first round, Super Regional 1 semifinals, Super Regional 1 championship/national quarterfinals, and national semifinals).

NOTE: I follow D2 football, especially the PSAC (root for 3 different teams, one of which is IUP, my graduate school alma mater), and Shepherd is the second-closest D2 team to where I currently live. I’ve actually gone to a couple of Shepherd home games (in 2019 & 2021) when they hosted one of those teams I follow. Shepherd has been a strong D2 football program for most of the last 30 years.

[–] Remarkable-Gap-9024@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

When the Steelers won a few games with that regen I knew they’d never be worse than average

[–] MisterrAlex@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I had a nickel for every time an undrafted rookie QB defeated the rookie QB that was the top overall pick, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[–] DaDairyStateBear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You could play 2 games of Pacman

[–] SunriseSurprise@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I imagine undrafted rookie QBs are almost never starting. Like how many total games have their been with this sort of matchup?

[–] Double_da_D@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] dylansucks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing Romo replacing Bledsoe doesn't count?

[–] milhouse234@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well, how often do undrafted rookies even get a chance to start, let alone in the same year a QB is drafted first overall.

[–] pendletonskyforce@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Panthers should just cut their losses and draft Caleb Williams. Wait...

[–] torthBrain@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Flair checks out

[–] Blutarg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're going to make up a name, OP, you'll have to do better than "Duck Hodges".

[–] Statalyzer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And this is my cousin, Seagull Jones.

[–] Sniper_Hare@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Did he really win?

Both QB's had awful stats.

[–] Particular-Ad-4772@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The fact that Carolina traded away it’s first round pick in upcoming nfl draft with the most talented top of the first round in NFL history. 5-6 QBs. Best TE prospect ever . Best WR prospect since megatron . All time great OT prospect . that does not even count any of the highly rated defensive players

But hey, you got yourself an undersized QB skinny qb , with an average arm. He does have quick feet and no doubt a quick release - to the CFL in a year or two . Where small skinny QBs with average arm strength thrive .

Maybe you all can win the grey cup .

[–] ChodeCookies@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting. He also defeated a horrible team…barely

[–] Jayyyy314@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m an adult duck Quack Quack!! And things of that nature

[–] TheOvercusser@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Can't say that I'm upset at this. Especially given that the Panthers tanked their own draft pick for nothing.

[–] z3ro_ne@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wanted so badly for Duck Hodges to just randomly become a franchise QB.
