As this 2007 NFL season approaches, it appeared that the celebrated Class of 1999 QB Class was approaching the end of its greatness. The 1999 QB Class started out with a bang in 2000 when Donovan McNabb, Daunte Culpepper, and Aaron Brooks all led teams to the postseason. This season though, the Class appears headed to a sad decline or perhaps a crossroads. Donovan McNabb keeps getting injured and the Eagles actually drafted a successor, Daunte Culpepper is still fighting to return from a horrific injury and has yet to find a team for this season, Aaron Brooks was castoff from society and set to live on an uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean, and Akili Smith had been the butt of every lockerroom joke since his first season.
Now suddenly, the Class of 1999 has a new hope. Former #1 pick Tim Couch just signed a two-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm not joking. My money was on Daunte Culpepper signing with the Jaguars but out of seemingly NOWHERE, Tim Couch is back in the NFL to defend the honor of the 1999 QB Class! Couch may never take a snap, and in the NFL, he could even still get cut before the season begins despite the "two-year" deal. But where there's an opportunity for success, the 1999 QB Class will go down swinging (or at a minimum, throwing interceptions).
