Reminds me of Jeff Komlo. Made it onto America's Most Wanted. Either died in a car crash or faked his death.
As i have said before Dude, you are a goof but you do come up with some gems every once in awhile.

Forgot about Komlo. he was a ninth round pick of Detroit in 1979. He was the 3rd string QB that year but because of injury to first and second string he started 14 games that year and won 2 and lost 12.

As you said he made it on America's most wanted and fled to Greece. A few years later he died in a car crash in Greece.

I had a boy crush on him. I thought he was the bomb. I miss being blissfully ignorant. Watching his "highlights", candidate for worse and worse of all times.

I think Lions have a chance 1980-83 with Landry. Might have done enough to manage the offense and let Billy and the defense win. Who knows. Was also at the very end of his career. Might have been washed dry by then. Certainly when he was in his prime time.

I'm usually good with names especially if they were a QB, RB or WR. For some reason I don't even remember the name Joe Reed or anything about him. I see he had 18 TD's and 31 interceptions. He must have seen a lot of action late in games or late in the year when his teams were out of contention.

1979 was the Star Wars bar scene at QB. Even picked up some bum named Goldstein to start a game.

I remember it's Jerry Golsteyn as I think he played for the NY Giants, a few NFL teams and even a USFL team or 2. He was one of the worst QB's to wear the #12 which was popular in 1970's through 1980's.

Imagine having this depth at QB:

Jeff Komlo
Joe Reed
Scott Hunter
Jerry goldfish Golsteyn

It's a miracle they won 2.

NFC Central could really be entertaining this year. Lions emergence last year, I think Love continues to take a step forward this year, and fresh excitement with young guns under centre in Chicago and Minny.
