No Marques Tuiasosopo

Still the only QB in history to throw for 300 and run for 200 in the same game.

A very good QB. For a school like Tulane..... He would NOT have done ANYTHING like that against the SEC.........

False. You put King in Florida's offense and see what happens.

the guy played in the NFL and played fairly well at times...I think he could've handled the SEC at that time.

I'm a huge McCarron homer but he's ranked way too high at seven. McCoy, Cam, Eli, Brees and Bradford should all be ranked ahead of him. Chris Leak being ranked above Philip Rivers, Eli Manning and Eric Crouch is another head scratcher. I was never particularly impressed with Leak as a QB.


I don't think it's entirely going off of ability though. You've gotta account for championships and winning percentage.

It seems to have no real metric at all.

That article saying he's won 3 NCs is a bit of a stretch though. He's already one of the most decorated and successful QBs of all time, why the hell fudge and say he won an NC the year he redshirted?

Why isn't Ken Dorsey ranked higher then?

I'm biased when it comes to Dorsey. But, I think she should be in the top ten as well.

"was sorta annoyed at Jamarcus Russell not making even the extended top 75 list"

Same here. I thought Davey also had a shot at landing on the top 75 list if someone had really been paying attention.

Neat idea, but I am floored that McCarron is that high and while I hate to pump up Auburn and Ole Miss players, Newton and Eli Manning are far too low. Newton only played one year, but it was absurd, and Manning carried his Ole Miss team.

So games against fricking Kansas FOOTBALL are the important indicators used to discern the Top QBs?


Vince Young is without question one of the best QB's of the BCS era. Not sure what you're trying to say. Besides, Kansas has more BCS Bowl wins than Ole Miss.

exactly.

McCarron has progressed nicely though, I'll give him that. I didn't think he had it in him to step up and have the kind of game he did the Title game vs. LSU.

he can get the ball down the field A LOT better than McElory ever did. He has been pretty efficient but I guess that is easier to accomplish when you have a solid running attack to help set that up.

Lacey & Yelding both went for over 100 yards in the SEC Championship and the National Title vs. Notre Dame. That is pretty incredible.

This list read more like a list of most well known Qbs of the bcs era.

Obviously a career accomplishment list.

No one accomplished more last decade with wins, yards, Heisman/Maxwell honors and conference/national titles than Leinart and Tebow.

So why is vy #1? I'm not usually one to be overly critical of subjective lists such as this one but this list is pretty bad. Has no set criteria and every time it looks like there is you see a player ranking that contradicts it

That might be the best way to put it. It tends to reward those who have graduated in the last two years. Or so it seems.
