Who was the best QB in Miami history?

[Jedi Master Cane]

Dorsey actually should've had 3. I thought we were also the best team in 2000.

You're absolutely right, but it can also absolutely be argued that Dorsey played on the better set of teams. We were dominant during the Walsh days....but that 2001 team Dorsey had was epic.

Like I said before both guys were very similar in that they were both accurate and very intelligent players. I just think Walsh had slightly more talent.

I would agree with this.

I like Walsh...

Instead of starting Vinny vs Penn St ( the scooter wreck) in 1986...start Walsh. Walsh could have been the qb for 3 MNC teams. Instead, he was qb for 2 (1987 and 1988)...see below for 1988...

At Miami...Ken Dorsey followed closely by Steve Walsh
Pro Career...Jim Kelly

agree

I always find it funny that Toretta won a Heisman and is nowhere near this discussion. I'm hoping Olsen can restore the legacy

I think Kelly is the best QB we've ever had. Then it's Walsh, Kosar, Dorsey, Mira. I downgrade Testaverde due to his Jacory-like bowl performances.

1. Kosar
2. Kelly
3. Walsh
4. Dorsey
5. Mira
6. Erickson
7. Testaverde

i got to go KD. if not for a terrible call he has 2 rings.

I nominate Steve Walsh. The 1988 Hurricane team was ridiculous. Arguably my all time favor team.

Seems like the 80's and early 90s are littered with possibilities, and then you have an old timer like Mira.

We've got:

Jim Kelly: Helped turn around the program, went on to a hall of fame pro career.
Bernie Kosar: Led some great teams
Vinny Testaverde: #1 overall pick and had a long pro career
Gino Torretta: Won the heisman
Ken Dorsey: Only lost 2 games as a starter, should've won 2 National Championships, but had a great supporting cast.

Who would you make the all-time great QB at UM?

Three if the BCS hadn't screwed the 'Canes in '00.

Can say the same for Walsh. And there is a good chance we could have beaten Penn St if Walsh plays that game.

Walsh should have had two, he got robbed in South Bend in 88
