I had to go with Woodson on this, although he played for that team up north. However, he worthy of the vote. 

A little side bar here, but I officiated a couple of his games his senior year in HS. He was definitely a man amongst boys.

I went Cam. He has a good case for best QB season ever.

Wanted to vote Deon, maybe Woodson. But Cam was just bonkers.
perhaps character flaws shouldn't be part of the equation in best ever voting, but I'm not rewarding guys like Johnny and Cam with my vote.

Hasn't seemed to hinder Vick in the #7 voting...

So it's when you're a dope?  You know it's hard to get a good dog-fighting ring going before you sign a million-dollar contract.....

lol

well, yes, the timeline is important

there's a college career and college stats

NFL stats or success or lack thereof shouldn't be a factor

OJ Simpson wasn't a murderer at USC as far as we know

Lawrence Phillips obviously had issues with violence while at UNL, but didn't kill anyone until later.  As far as we know...

Cam Newton and Reggie Bush were paid to play - didn't kill any dogs

Sooner option QB wizard Charles Thompson was dealing cocaine while on the team and dismissed - another great #6

as you know..... countless thugs on the Miami Hurricane teams over the years

The irony is, Charles Thompson #6 turned his life around despite all those serious problems, and Jamelle Holieway #4 went into the tank, though it appears he's come out of his series of arrests in the 00s.

there's another question

since J. C. Watts went on to become a congressman, does he get xtra credit for his #1 jersey?

or was that a bad thing, since he converted to a Republican from growing up a democrat?

I totally whiffed on many recent players in the early going of this series.  I don't believe any of the ones I forgot would have won, but certainly Henry should've been included on the list to begin with.  My bad.
