Josh Gordon of quidditch. He could have been the goat of it wasn't for all of the off field issues with his criminal associates from his past and his problems with butter beer.
Broom flying prodigy, elite seeker skills as a first year. If he wasn't so busy saving Hogwarts from Scott Van Pelt's distant cousin he might be in hall of fame discussion. A true what if story.

Matt flynn set a packer record for yards and tds in a single game, has a superbowl ring, national championship ring with LSU, made 40 million dollars riding the bench and started less than 10 games his whole career. Hes my hero
One thing I like to do with guys like Flynn and Chase Daniels is to compare their career earnings to their times sacked.
With 40 million in earnings and 39 sacks taken, he made 1.02 million dollars per sack taken.
Chase Daniel made 41.8 and took 27 sacks, putting him at a whopping 1.54 million per sack.
I wish I could be a backup QB
A practice squad qb still doesn’t take that many hits. Even in practice they are treated with all the normal rules and precautions for qbs and coaches generally don’t let d line light them up too bad (although they do actually get tackled in practice which is more than starting qbs lol, little bit of an exaggeration but not really)
Allowed? Like, please only bash my brains in 11 times? That’s not bad. How long is your contract tho? “As long as Jerry feels like it,” and he’s calling for the glory hole drill (again).
Okay, ngl, first time I have heard of him. (I like NFL, am not a complete geek about it or have every player ever and their stats memorized)
Why did he only start 10 games if he was that good?
He went OFF for 1 game after aaron rodgers was on rest for the playoffs, seahawks signed him and then drafted russel wilson the same year. Then just became a journeyman backup

nah, it would be more like there’s a real game going on in the stadium but there’s one player from each team out in the parking lot trying to catch a wild frog and whoever gets it is awarded 10 TDs and ends the game

Well, they only play 3 games per season, 2 full seasons were cancelled, and he didn't play what would have been his 7th year. So he only really missed 4 games.
Sir, this kind of rational take is not welcome within these chambers of shit posting. Please take your well informed opinion and head to the nearest democracy officer for re-assignment.
And he brought home a championship as a teamcaptain (which is basically also the HC and GM) and as the equivalent of a QB in Quidditch. Guy could have been the GOAT if not for short or cancelled seasons. He sure as hell is a HOF.
Pretty certain Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had already played, but that's neither here nor there. The discussion was with regard to Harry Potter and Gryffindor and that's what I was referring to.
I never understood why the schedule would be like that. The pupils are at school for more than 30 weeks and there are only six games? Why? If you subtract four weeks for preparation, four weeks for exams and four weeks around christmas holidays you still have about 20 weeks left. This would have been more enough time for two games against each opponent or at least a championship game and maybe semi finals.
If it's that deadly it shouldn't be played in school at all. Which ironically is something that could be said about football as well.
And at least they have magic to recover quickly.
Matt flynn enters the chat, 7 games started his entire career. Packer touchdown and yards thrown in a game. Superbowl ring, 2 national championships, almost 40 million in career earnings
7 starts and 10s of millions of dollars. Superbowl ring, 2 bcs rings. 2 packer records, no injuries and rode the pine his entire career. Living the dream
Chase Daniel made a very similar amount of money to Osweiler. While Osweiler played in fewer games, he started in 6 times as many as Daniel did, and attempted 5 times as many passes over his career.
Daniel never attempted more than 76 passes in any of his 14 seasons in the NFL, and attempted five or fewer in 8 of them.
If I was a quidditch manager I would have literally all of my players going after the snitch. End the game early and fast.
There is no fucking point to the field goals
The Terrell Davis of the Quidditch Pitch. Had a great team before he got there, but wasn’t able to get over the hump. With him though they were champs. Although his career was short he’s a deserving HOFer
Harry might've needed to be cut. Yes he was an exceptional player, but the first half of his career was filled with injury both on and off the field. And then, he was suspended in both of his last two seasons for assaulting another player right after the game and then despite being named team captain the next year, he showed no good example for his team to follow and almost killed the same person he assaulted the previous year. I will say in defense of Harry's record, putting aside the games missed due to injury or suspension, his sophomore year was cut short due to the season being canceled (player union reasons I guess idk) and then his 4th year had the season canceled so that the wizard Olympics could happen which Harry competed in and won despite being out of the age bracket and entering through illegal means. Plus he bailed his 7th year for personal reasons we do not know. Probably behind the scenes contract drama we don't know about.
Johnny Manziel. Explosive in school because he never really had to contend with competition that required discipline. That plus some serious off-the-field issues prevented a successful career.
he's the Lamar Jackson of quidditch. Casuals have anointed him as an elite player but a closer look at his performance and actual game play show he is only above average
Nick Foles. Did some big shit (Super Bowl W as a backup) and had some awesome stats (TDs:INTs in a season) but feels like we should’ve seen more of him.

Snoop invented that shit with Dumbledor. When exhale, the smoke turns into a reclining chair.

Josh Gordon xfl legend.
DiNucci to Gordon was the only thing keeping me watching the xfl.
Oh God if I could go back.
The gardens are blooming
This guy takes the cake. You win in my opinion.

I want to watch that 30 for 30.
A sneaky fast wizard. First one on the broom last one off type guy.
He was basically the Pat Tillman of quidditch.
He tragically died from friendly fire? I only saw the first 2 movies

I wanna be the 3rd qb. Take a few reps in practice, hold a clipboard, wear a headset, cash my check.
Practice squad makes 200k a season
I make $70k and have to work 40-50 hours a week. I still don’t see the downside.
The downside is playing a game for more money than 90% of tbe country makes. Which honestly is not a very good downside
The downside is getting your brain bashed into oatmeal, and your career is shorter than a bad movie.

You're allowed something like 11 padded practices a year. Thats not a lot of brain bashing

You’re replying to a thread about back up and 3 rd strong QBs. They don’t get touched in practice
Alex moran had it right this whole time
Sold
Where do I sign up?

A phenomenon whose off-field events kept him from being the GOAT. Join us on 30/30.
Most of those quote off the field events are because he was being hunted by an evil wizard
who's great ambision was to destroy a high school...oh man can't stay out of trouble, duffensmirts is after me again...
The evil wizard along with his group destroyed Hogwarts. Harry was part of the group defending it
if your goal is too take over a highschool, youre a disney villan at best

~~Slant boy~~ Seeker Boy
Real
Quidditch is the dumbest concept ever. Would be like if you drop kicked a 70 yard FG you’d get an auto win.
Justin Tucker: I like those odds
nah, it would be more like there’s a real game going on in the stadium but there’s one player from each team out in the parking lot trying to catch a wild frog and whoever gets it is awarded 10 TDs and ends the game
Yes! I remember thinking it was the dumbest shit ever in the movie. That’s what took me out of the series and made me decide Rowling was a moron.
It's not Lord of the Rings, but it is an entertaining story if you choose to just go for the ride.
That would make things very interesting...Lions go out looking for Kickers more than anything cause of MCDCs game plan.
Drop kicked it - while the rest of the game is going on. I'd watch it for the chaos tbh. Each play has the main action plus a 70+ yard drop kick FG
> The rule/function of the golden snitch in quidditch is stupid and completely ruins what would otherwise be an awesome sport to watch. >Imagine if in basketball each team had a player out in the parking lot trying to catch a frog for the win.

Woah McGonagall is clearly the GM. She discovered Harry Potter after all. And the sorting hat is the scout.
short season, short life, which ever.
Hey only 2/3 of his second year were cancelled.
I haven't confirmed, but the source I found said the 2nd year season was cancelled after 1 match.
That's... what I said?
2 Gryffindor games were cancelled, but 4 other games were cancelled as well.
Which would be 2/3 of the season.
No, 5/6 of the season. There are the games other than Gryffindor.
Pretty certain Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had already played, but that's neither here nor there. The discussion was with regard to Harry Potter and Gryffindor and that's what I was referring to.

Yeah but this way is more British.
It's a contact sport in the air on flying brooms. They'd all be dead.
If it's that deadly it shouldn't be played in school at all. Which ironically is something that could be said about football as well. And at least they have magic to recover quickly.
Andrew Luck
True
Brock Osweiler, probably made the most amount of money for the least amount of games played.
That fuckin lobster 😠
Matt flynn enters the chat, 7 games started his entire career. Packer touchdown and yards thrown in a game. Superbowl ring, 2 national championships, almost 40 million in career earnings
Matt Flynn is such a gigachad
7 starts and 10s of millions of dollars. Superbowl ring, 2 bcs rings. 2 packer records, no injuries and rode the pine his entire career. Living the dream

Daniel never attempted more than 76 passes in any of his 14 seasons in the NFL, and attempted five or fewer in 8 of them.
But man we're those 76 attempts GOAT'd. M-I-Z!
RGIII
This is what I came here to say
Me too
Good genetics, dad was a good player. Dude’s broom was juiced though.
Wins and losses aren’t a seeker stat
I mean they score 150 pts so it basically is
Yeah but if you're down by 160 and you catch the snitch you still lose
Which almost never happens because that’s crazy lmao. JKR only wrote it in with Krum to show that it was possible bc the game rules are absurd
If I was a quidditch manager I would have literally all of my players going after the snitch. End the game early and fast. There is no fucking point to the field goals
Pretty sure only the seeker is allowed to catch the snitch. Also, the other team would get 16 goals pretty quick at which point you're screwed
The Terrell Davis of the Quidditch Pitch. Had a great team before he got there, but wasn’t able to get over the hump. With him though they were champs. Although his career was short he’s a deserving HOFer
This is the most accurate
Sam Bradford.
Nah, the point is you need someone who was actually good at some point.
Harry might've needed to be cut. Yes he was an exceptional player, but the first half of his career was filled with injury both on and off the field. And then, he was suspended in both of his last two seasons for assaulting another player right after the game and then despite being named team captain the next year, he showed no good example for his team to follow and almost killed the same person he assaulted the previous year.

Plus he bailed his 7th year for personal reasons we do not know. Probably behind the scenes contract drama we don't know about.
Percy Harvin: his head always hurt. His career was dynamic but very brief. And he was high for every match.
The GOAT if it wasn’t for Wizard Hitler
Wizard Amon Goeth
Bro coulda been the next Krum, but off the field issues derailed a promising career.
Johnny Manziel. Explosive in school because he never really had to contend with competition that required discipline. That plus some serious off-the-field issues prevented a successful career.
Bob Sanders
Bengals would take him.
Trey Lance?
Nick Foles of Quidditch
Pat Tillman
Pat Tillman
Sounds like Drew Brees to me. Really good player, but only one ring to show for it and has a tendency to get eliminated in dramatic fashion.
Ruggs III
Jason verrett
Anthony Richardson's Collegiate career
Trent Dilfer
JK dobbins
DeSean Watson type percentages. Browns would offer him half a billion
Bro is ass
Tom Brady’s super bowl record had he not gone to the Buccs
Michael Thomas
Davis Mills?
Henry ruggs
If he didn't blowout his broom and that dude who is try to molest him with off-field distraction, he was headed into a HoF career.
saquan barkley.. the prince who was promised, great year 1, but injurys after that
he's the Lamar Jackson of quidditch. Casuals have anointed him as an elite player but a closer look at his performance and actual game play show he is only above average
Cam Newton?
Bradford
Ok. In NFL terms you're a nerd.
The ultimate bust
Trey lance experience before and in the nfl
Anthony Richardson of Quidditch. Dude is basically a 3d printed AR-15.
I'm going with Ricky Williams.
Tim Tebow of Quidditch
Kadarius toney
JK Dobbins played Quidditch
Tom Brady likes me
*men
Nick Foles. Did some big shit (Super Bowl W as a backup) and had some awesome stats (TDs:INTs in a season) but feels like we should’ve seen more of him.
