If from hampton and played against ronald. he went to unc because he thought he is better at bball, unc is a bball school that produces nba players, the truth is he didnt have that much of a jumper, and while playn football his bball game fell off. if most smart people are givin the choice of nba or nfl they will take nba cus its way less physical and thats what curry did but he just fell off

Ronald Curry is probably one of the biggest underachievers ever....the number 1 QB and Basketball Guard coming out of High School....either that or one of the most over-hyped high school athletes ever.
Please. That's just nonsense. HS rankings are an imperfect science. He's a starting NFL WR, the last time I checked, and doesn't appear to be going around.
So a dude who plays WR in the NFL for 10 or so years is "one of the biggest underachievers" ever??
ron c was the man.......if he would have still had all the coaches that was there when he got there (texas staff Mack Brown, Greg Davis, etc) he would have been one of the better qbs in college history.....that was a nice block by #6 on this play btw lol
Ronald Curry made the wrong college decision. He should've went to UVA or FSU. During that time in the late 90's, FSU was a national powerhouse. He would've redshirted for maybe a year or two, then would've maturated into the FSU pro style system and would have been the 2nd coming of Charlie Ward. Had he gone to UVA, all of VA's top recruits would have followed suit and went there because of the star power Ronald had at that time, hence building a national power there as well.
UNC was a national power during the time period he was recruited. He was recruited by Mack Brown and thought he would play under him, but Mack left for Tejas.
I used vick as an example because him and Vick are actualy similar. Skin color has nothing to do with it. Running quarterbacks with mediocre passign skills. Look at Eric Crouch. Won the Heisman as an option quarterback and couldn't make it as a quarterback in the pros.
And just because the Raiders have had busts at quarterback doesn't mean Curry would've been good. Theres a reason he never got drafted until the 7th round and that wasn't even as a quarterback.
My brother played at Phoebus when Ron C was a freshmen. They played in Va is called "DA GAME". Problably the best high school game played in Va. There were 9 D1 players on the field that gamem many more on the bench for both teams. It came down to overtime and Ron C made the play that put him on the map with a pass to the back pof the endzone and the "catch". Now I'm not a Hampton High fan, I went to other high school, I'm just saying that is were it started. He should be a QB right now.
because in the nfl you need more than an athlete to play quarterback. curry wasn't even as good of a qb as mike vick and vick was a complete bust in the nfl. the raiders found a good position for curry and he's been successful as a 7th rounder.
does every conversation about a black qb hafta include vick? the man could play quarterback well. you need more than an athlete? yeah, guys like tim couch and kelly holcomb.
Guy was a hell of a QB. I'll never understand why he was forced to move to reciever on a team that is always in desperate need of a competent quarterback.
i followed him since 9th grade in Hampton hight school (Virginia) (Hampton crabbers) he was the best athlete Ive ever seen in high school hes still a legend in Hampton in my opinion he was twice as good as Michael Vick in high school i even watched them play each other while they were in high school Hampton vs Warwick
When u can play two different sports and run, catch, and thro like that, u can call urself a true athlete. Ron Ron is a perfect example of a true athlete.
Curry was the number athelete in the country coming into to UNC-they were going to go somewhere with him on the team!
