The comment earlier was based on the way champions are regarded after the fact in general. Matt Mauck was nowhere near as good a QB in September of 2003 as he is now. His flaws have been largely forgotten or glossed over, and he is regarded as one of the greats because he has the ring. Ditto for Flynn, Jay Barker, Craig Krentzel, Ken Dorsey, etc. If Jefferson remains the consistent starter and we win the National Championship, his legacy will be just that: a National Championship.
5-10 years from now, in what regard will he be held?

And this is the issue.
We've been spoiled recently with QBs that were wildly successful and instrumental in various ways to the program... Davey, Mauck, Russell, Flynn... they were all incredibly effective.
Then you have Jefferson, who doesn't really fall in line with any of them, and without looking it up, probably falls well behind them all on a stat-line. He's unsure, hesitant, makes bad decision, and he's incredibly inaccurate.
Simply because he has so far to go to improve his image, I don't know that a ring will leave him regarded as anything other than average at best.
