Who wins? Bar discussion with a few other pathetic Old Ags this weekend. Mike and Reggie were both track guys. (Would have been cool to see them run the spread offense. ) Had to go with Mosley. Craig Stump was never mentioned...

Didn't Reggie set the NFL Combine record for the fastest 40-yard dash by a QB? I know that doesn't necessarily translate to a 100m run but it still is impressive.

Mosley's top end speed from track would take over. 4.28 (hand timed) in 40. State high hurdle champion.

Any updates on his economic condition since this Men's Journal article came out?

"...He has, however, managed to keep a roof over his head, which is more than Mike Mosley can say.
Mosley, a blazingly fast returner and flanker for the Buffalo Bills in the '80s, ripped his right knee making a cut on turf and went down in a heap, untouched. The doctor who attended to him botched the treatment so badly that Mosley, who ran a 4.28 in the 40, could barely stop and start on a two-move pattern. "He 'fixed' the cartilage, which was fine, and left the ligament, which was torn, and I ran on it and frayed it completely," says Mosley, now 49, in the thick-as-gravy accent of small-town central Texas. "I went from being the return champ in 1982 to being unable to bend my knee by '84. Then the leg withered, and that was it. I was home on my front porch at 26."
Mosley, a golden boy in high school and college he was the wishbone quarterback at Texas A&M, where boosters threw cash and cars at him and the girls lined up to ride shotgun fell fast and hard once football was done, lapsing into deep depression. He tried to get a job, but his knee kept buckling, and he had additional problems with his shins and back. In 1998 he filed for disability and, to his shock and relief, was approved. The $9,000 a month allowed him to buy a small house and win custody of his five-year-old daughter Kendall, and though medical expenses ate up most of the rest, he was able to fashion a life again. And then in '04, without a word of warning, the pension board cut him off. He appealed to the union, but it soon stopped taking his calls. In short order he lost his house and truck, and he and his daughter were forced to move in with his 75-year-old mother. She is in very frail health, has run through her savings, and must feed three people on her Social Security check of $319 a month. Mosley, a man of 49, hides in his room, surrounded by football trophies. The look he wears when you flush him out is that of a dying quail.
"There's nothing left," he says. "They took it all from me, and never even gave a reason. If you talk to Upshaw and I tried like hell to could you ask him how he lives with himself?..."

Mosley for the win.

I think Mosely first in the 100 yard dash, with McNiel right there. But Manziel was almost as fast and more elusive than either of them. I'd be surprised if any other university could come up with 3 quarterbacks with this much speed.

Of course if you bring in other positions, I'm pretty sure Curtis Dickey takes it.

Disability check of $9000 a month?!?!?! He made $108K/year off of disability? Is this correct?

Mike Mosely was nationally ranked in high school in the 120 yd high hurdles(now the 110m hurdles)

Reggie McNeal does in fact have the fastest 40 ever by a qb at nfl combine.

In the 40, Reggie, in the 100m..... who knows.

Johnny would be looking at both of their asses. Johnny isn't even a top 5 fastest qb at TAMU

Reggie all the way.
Manziel isnt anywhere near as fast....although hes more elusive and agile IMO
Brakeman
How long do you want to ignore this user?
There have been multiple 10.6 -10.7 100 meter qb's at tamu. Johnny isn't one of them.

I didn't know about Reggie McNeals 10.36 ! I knew he was fast. Don't think Mosely could touch that.

I am not sure, but I doubt Reggie beat Vick's 4.2 something

If you go to the combine results page and only search QB and 40 yard dash time, the record since 2006 is Reggie at 4.35.

http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-performers#year=2015&workout=FORTY_YARD_DASH&position=QB

So the results don't go back far enough to see what Vick ran.


and according to this the Vick time was 4.25 but not electronically timed

Remember, Vick did not run at the combine, so any time he had prior doesn't count as a combine 40.

Reggie's the champ.

Mike Mosley in the 100 yd or 100 meter dash. Faster than Reggie at that distance.

If Reggie's 10.36 is accurate, Moseley doesn't even come close. He ran a 9.5 100 yard, which loosely translates to a 10.6 100 meter.

10.6 does not equal 10.36

9.5 translates to about 10.2 or 10.3. BTW Reggie ran a 4.35 at the combine, not 4.28

Ashley..... not at all. However, Ive solved the problem.

Mike Mosely and Regggie McNeal are meeting at the Bryan High School track to settle this once and for all.

You might want to your local track coach. He will tell you about conversion of yards to meters. Honestly, comparing their times they look just about even in the 40 & 100. Their times are really close.

Speedy Noil is the fastest QB ever at A&M...and if you are puzzled by that then you would have been shocked had Allen gone down in the Auburn game and may be surprised what the depth chart looks like if Murray plays pro baseball and we cant get a transfer in over the summer. He won't be second and may not even be listed...but trust me, he's there.
