re: Best LSU QB ever.........

Maybe, but looking at smaller spans is a little different. I'd say the SEC was a lot better (relative to other conferences) from 1992-98 than it was from 1999-05.

The SEC was probably the best conference in football from 1986 to 1989, but that happened to be a time ruled by independents (Miami; FSU; ND; WVU; etc.)

And then there's the era from 1957 to 1974, when the SEC just blew everybody else away in terms of top-to-bottom quality.
