. Clearly he had one of the single best seasons, and you can tell in that NC game that he was so far above everyone else that year.

But probably at least a couple of dozen of quarterbacks had better college careers.


Career is a stupid way to look at it. Cam Newton accomplished everything in a single year Tebow did in his 3 years as a starter. Bur because Tebow played longer in college, he is better?


Yes, Young is a top 10 all time qb.

Like I said, it depends on what you want to focus on. There is something to be said about sustained long term success and execution. It's a different "greatness," just like in the Super Bowl debate, Marino is still one of the top QBs ever BECAUSE of his long performance at a high level.

It's a mix of:
Single Season/Game Excellence
Titles/Championships/Hardware
Individual Performance Levels
Sustained Success - which says something about overall management and leadership

It all matters, some people just weigh certain things more than others.
