The Hawaii offense under Carey was a mess and he eventually got benched. And while Frost's team won a national championship at Nebraska, his role was mostly handing the ball off to Lawrence Phillips and the rest of the running backs and then getting out of the way. (Off the field, too; when an estranged girlfriend of Phillips took refuge in Frost's apartment, Phillips showed up and dragged her out by the hair.) Frost was drafted by the NFL not as a quarterback but as a DB, a position he played at Stanford as a freshman because Walsh wanted to get him onto the field. He hung around in the pros for five or six years, but mainly on taxi squads.

I think you need to check your timeline.  If Frost ever handed off to Phillips, it was in practice during the year Frost had to sit out because of the transfer rules.  (Is a player even allowed to practice with the team during that year?  I honestly don't know the answer to that.)  Frost handed off plenty of times to Ahman Green, but what QB in his right mind wouldn't?  I agree his skill set was better suited to Nebraska's offense than Stanford's, but he played very, very well for Nebraska during his two years as the starter.
