I'm sure this is worthy of discussion but not to me. It's amazing what people get paid for these days.

There's a difference between an option offense and an offense that allows for its QB to take off and run when the play breaks down.

If Mariota and Tebow are listed, Vince should be listed.

The latter sounds like Tebow's offense at UF... and VY's at UT... and Cam's at AU...

No question.

Vince Young running the read option is scary.

To be fair, I read a list yesterday about the "worst starters on NBA championship teams" from "Fansided" that included Dennis Johnson, Sean Elliot, Vernon Maxwell and Robert Horry.

That's an awful list. Frazier was the best by a mile. VY has to be on there. Pat White was a wizard running the option at WVU. Glad they gave Mildren credit because few do, but Tebow being #1 and Mariota being #3 completely ruins any credibility.

Leaving Cam Newton off is embarrassing.

Have to Put Frazier at #1.

Would put Scott Frost and Vince Young on it as well.

No way would I consider Tebow better than Frazier.

Two different Navy QB's broke Tebow's rushing records.

Rickie D0bbs broke it in 2009 2 weeks after Tebow set most rushing TD in a season
Keenan Reynolds has most career QB rushes and td with another season left to play.


NB4 strength of schedule... Air Force made the list.
