BADSANTA Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Posted October 25, 2010 Landry wasn't better than Ambres or Brown! Seen both play and Ambres was head and shoulders better. I know Landry wn state, but Chip was a better QB. Check out yards, wins, td's
82 5A State Champs Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 I think I have to go with Gerald Landry on this one. While I wasn't there when that team made their fateful run, I have the videos on tape and have watched them numerous times. Landry was an Ace in the pocket, and was able to make accurate throws on the run. He also received punts and kickoffs on special teams. James Brown is a close second. James, IMO, was not as good a passer as Landry. Chip Ambres was a speed demon on his feet, and made things happen while running. I have to give props to our young Bruce Reyes. This kid is a great package. He is dead accurate when he throws, and can scramble in the pocket well. I think Reggie Chambers was also a decent QB as well for the Bruins.
Titletown2 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 I wasn't down here to see Landry, so I'll comment on the one's I've seen play. James Brown is the best I've seen from WB. Chip was good but I think James was a little better. James has the edge because he was great at the next level. I know Chip chose baseball but as football goes we'll never know. We do know about James Brown.
WeedBegone Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 Lil Reyes has to be up there in Completion percentage/TD per interception ratio/ and yards after catch.
SgtRey Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 I've never seen the other guys play...so, hard to comment...there are too many intangibles to take in to consideration...type of offense...I doubt they ran the spread in the 80's...maybe early 90's...so stats may be lopsided vs an I-formation/veer team(pass vs rush). Team wins, playoff runs, etc..I would think you'd have to take a little consideration to the great defenses they played with....So, how can you truly measure all the great ones?....1 on 1.....I really don't think you can....either you won the big one ...or you didn't. with that being said...the rest you measure thru playoffs...how deep have they taken their teams?....If anyone has stats, then you go to stats...then athletic capabilities...Although I did not have the privilage of seeing all these QB's play, I'm certain they were(are) all special in their own way. ;D ;)
LULUJUJU Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Its funny that everyone calls him lil Reyes.......Have any of you ever seen how strong this lil Reyes is...I believe he won the powerlifting title for his division and it was by leaps and bounds....Very strong kid.......Stronger than many twice his size!!!

BADSANTA Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Posted October 27, 2010 Chip Ambres was "Cold Blooded" "in the Rick James voice

blinky Posted November 1, 2010 Report Posted November 1, 2010 No doubt Raymond Paine "Chip" Ambres III. If he had the supporting cast that Gerald Landry or James Brown had or run the spread offense his numbers would be out of this world. But to win as many games as he did, with every defense set up to stop him, was outstanding. Chip is who I would want at crunch time.
zeroturn Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 Wow look want landry did in crunch time 4th and 20+ yds to advance in play offs go on and win state
blinky Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 Ambres two fourth quarter come from behind wins in play-offs against No. 1 Humble and Katy Mayde Creek. Gerald had future NFL stars. Chip had only one D1 teammate.
Rockin A Posted November 3, 2010 Report Posted November 3, 2010 I believe Chip was the best QB, but Landry was the best all-around player because of his additional special team duties. Does anyone know if Chip is still playing pro baseball?
shorttexas1 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Posted November 3, 2010 Chip's legacy was slightly tainted because he went on to play baseball. Also, his Brook teams could stop anyone, he simply out-scored everyone. Almost took Brook to State with just his arm and feet. Chip was the best passeer Brook has seen and would have been a pro!!! James was great and Landry has a championship... Ambres has evrything else!!!
