In some ways Kordell was better than Byron, but not in one very important way, one that is essential in the NFL, and that is handling critics. He just couldn't do it. Like Jake Plummer at times, Kordell just couldn't handle bad games and the shots that came with it. At least Byron can do that.
Byron is tough. That's really what he is, he's a tough guy, he doesn't quit, and he will make a play. Not always when you need it, and he's not a great offensive talent, but he's not on a great offensive team either. His mechanics are bad and they've never been worked on. He was drafted because he has that something, that thing where people saw him, like Penny, win games at Marshall that they maybe shouldn't have and they thought, 'we want that, that's a leader.'
Where is Culpepper on my list, about middle of the pack, mostly because of talent. He's like a bigger, stronger version of Jake Plummer. His decisions still suck and sometimes he makes plays just based on talent. Which is fine, but it's rarely going to get you much more than one playoff win a year if that.
