Favre was not released by the Falcons, Ron Wolf traded a 1st round pick to them for Favre.
Cunningham was a 3 time Pro Bowler and had retired for a season before coming back to Minnesota.
Young had a $40 million contract in the USFL, was a 1st round pick in the supplemental draft, and failed in Tampa because the 80's Bucs make Mike Brown look like his father in comparison.
Pennington was a 1st round pick and the 2 playoff games he won were in seasons where he was the established starter.
Flutie was a multiple time CFL MVP, Grey Cup MVP and Grey Cup Champion who was largely shunned by the NFL due to his diminutive size.
Tebow was a rookie 1st round pick.
The others, fair enough, but those 7 don't really fit the unknown/underdog coming out of nowhere mold, or in regards to Favre the circumstances of how he got to Green Bay are just outright incorrect.
Fair enough ,but it has happened. Teams just invest more time in higher picks. Just the way it works. It doesnt mean the lower guys cant play at all.abd the theory well if he was better he'd be starting is incorrect. I hear it all the time about players.
