The great NFL quarterback class of 1999 lost another member with Daunte Culpepper deciding to hang it up.

Of course everyone uses the word "great" with sarcasm because of the five QBs picked in the first round, only Culpepper and Donovan McNabb had nice careers. So it was a fine collection of busts, including the bozo the Bears took with the 12th overall pick.

Now only McNabb is still playing.

Here's how these guys stacked up in their careers:

QB
Overall pick
Games played
TDs
INTs
Tim Couch
1st (Browns)
62
64
67
Donovan McNabb
2nd (Eagles)
118
171
79
Akili Smith
3rd (Bengals)
22
5
13
Daunte Culpepper
11th (Vikings)
92
142
94
Cade McNown
12th (Bears)
25
16
19


And if you want to add it to the stat line, McNown also stole Couch's girlfriend. Just one of the little things that don't show up in the box score.
