Well for starters, LSU won the 2007 natty in his only year as the starter. None of the other 3 you mentioned did that.


For starters, this is a point that idiots hang their hat on.

- 2006 LSU, two losses (at top 10 UF, at top 10 AU)
- 2007 LSU, two losses (at top 20 UK, vs unranked Ark)

Jamarcus had more passing yards, a higher completion percentage, more TDs, less INTs and higher YPC, QB rating, etc., but Flynn was better because LSU won the national title with the same amount of losses?

Flynn also had by far the better pro career than they did as well, though I realize this may not be in the parameter of best LSU QB lately, that can't be discounted.


What relevance does the NFL have to college? In three seasons, Stevan Ridley's best rushing season had TWICE as many yards as Kevin Faulk's best. Obviously, Ridley > Faulk at LSU, amirite? Devery Henderson has more career NFL receiving yards than Josh Reed, so he's clearly better, AMIRITE?

You missed the fact JaMarcus beat out Flynn over and over for the starting job as well, but it boils down to how one defines a "Best" QB, and the ultimate deciding factor is this case is natty's. no?

Flynn deserves a ton of credit for sticking around and waiting his turn, something you simply don't see nowadays as well.
