Do you have a QB Tree?
Do you ever get the feeling of just starting something? I do all the time. I mean I started a future empire with ReRack. I started a wiffle ball league (that may have been taken to serious) back in middle school. I also started ignoring Addison Rae on Twitter DMs. The list goes on and on. I am the person that starts things.
And what to do starters of things do? They keep starting things.
A few years ago, back in some shithole college house in Glassboro watching a random TNF game, the fellas (including @reracklow , @ric and @nolimitniz ) and I started talking about the upcoming QB Classes in the next few NFL Drafts. During that discussion, I proclaimed how much of a Sam Howell fan I was which ended up being the start of a legendary discussion/question that should be discussed by all ball-knowers…
“Do you have a QB Tree?” followed by “Who’s part of your QB Tree”?
Proclaiming Sam Howell as a future GOAT that night made me go back in my bag and gather my top QBs I’ve watched growing up and create the legendary and iconic ‘Cassidy QB Tree’.
For those that don’t know the ‘Cassidy QB Tree’, let me introduce you to this very select group of elite individuals. The more you will read this website, the more you will understand how important QB Trees are to ReRack personnel. I live and die by my QB Tree.
Anyways here we go:
Sam Howell
Well if you got to this point, obviously you know I’m part of the Howelliban. Day 1 believer since days in UNC. Should have been a First Rounder, instead the Steelers thought Kenny 2 Gloves was better (ABSURD – No disrespect to the MOCO Jersey guy) .
Sam was only given one shot (honestly not a horrible first season) but had the worst owner in sports history; I know the racist Clippers guy is up there too but was he worse than Dan Snyder??? IDK about that.
Maybe Howell gets his shot in Seattle when Geno leaves or a smart front office makes a move for him and takes the gamble. It will be worth it.
Is he the White Jameis? I mean he did go 21-21 his first season as QB1. He may actually be.
Drew Lock
Mr. Horsecock Lock. Missouri Gun Slinger (reminds me of Brett Farve). 4-0 Rookie Season and was on top of the world. Thanks to pathetic coaching and minimal weapons/Oline he was shipped to Seattle.
In his brief stint in Seattle, he is strictly known for ruining Philly’s season last year embarrassing those goobers on MNF. If you think about it, they were never the same after that game. Drew Lock broke the Philadlephia Eagles.
Eventually, Lock found his way to my New York Giants. Dabol was a moron and decided to start Dimes over Lock until the wheels fell off. He then turned to Devito as QB1 for the future Disney Movie over Mr. Lock. Wild move. Pathetic move. But whatever. Finally once it was time for Lock’s turn to shine, it was to late. The season didn’t matter at this point so honestly his bad games don’t count. That being said, he did have one of the greatest QB single-game performances in NFL History. See below:
Wherever Drew signs next year, I wish him nothing but the best. He deserves a real chance.
Jameis Winston
Just watch this YouTube video below. The most entertaining QB in the world and maybe even athlete. Loved watching him at FSU and became a bigger fan when he got caught for stealing crab legs.
Enjoy this video of Jameis being Jameis.
Jordan Love
If you go back to the ReRack Network archives, I was the only one praising the Packers for this pick. I have always been part of the Love Shack.
I’ll find the clip and add it here/post on twitter. It was during our NFL Draft Livestream.
Love is also the only QB on this list to have a NFL Playoff Win so far and is the greatest QB in NFL history during Toyotathon. Just can’t beat that.
Quinn Ewers
Other than Vince Young, Ewers is by far the greatest Texas QB to play for the university. I’ve been a fan since he left High School a year early just to be a backup for fun at Ohio State (he always knew he was going to transfer to Texas; simply just didn’t care for High School). Respect.
To answer the question why I am such a Ewers guy, its quite simple. I jumped on the bandwagon strictly because of the mullet and his High School prospect rating. The highest-rated prospect in High Football history. (Joined the Ewers Fan Club when he committed to OSU – AKA: I saw CFB Twitter going crazy about the Mullet Man).
Not going to break down what happened this past season, it was brutal for the boy, but he’s onto to bigger and better things. I mean he is league bound! Whatever team ends up selecting him will be drafting a demon. Trust.
(I do wish he went to UNC and played for Uncle Bill just for one season)

Conclusion:
If you have a QB Tree comment below. I’m curious to see what you muppets have and how much worse they are compared to mine. If you haven’t started one yet and you like ball; go ask yourself if you actually like ball. I’m serious. Because you probably don’t.
Also – this blog was just simply for me to introduce my QB Tree, unintentionally get my GF pissed at me due to the first paragraph, and inspire you all to follow my footsteps and start your Trees. God Bless and Cheers.
Started with
Johnny Manziel (he could still be elite in the NFL Cleveland ruined him)
Mitchell Trubisky (pending Super Bowl Champion backup)
