But you said at his PEAK. Rohan at his peak was better than JR.

I never saw 1980's sec football, so I don't know
but I can't imagine an era of sec football as great as the last 10 years

Then why didn't the SEC dominate college football back then?

I agree.
Tittle was better in the pros, Woodley started a Super Bowl, and Bert Jones also won an NFL MVP one year, but I don't think anybody else has ever been named 1st Team All-SEC QB four times. Over the course of a 4-year college career, no LSU QB has been better than Hodson.
+1. The key part of the statement is "best LSU QB". In college no one performed better than Hodson. With the surrounding cast of '03- '07 Hodson was a guy who could have gone undefeated. He was that good. Heck, had he not gotten injured in '87 that team could have gone undefeated(did have a tie with OSU). The question of best overal career would be a tie between Tittle and Jones IMO. Most pure QB talent(that was mostly wasted at LSU) would be Jones by a mile. He had the rocket arm of JR, the guts of Hodson and the work ethic of Flynn. He also played for a coach(governed some by the era)who looked upon the forward pass as a last resort in his offense.

Nope. Edited: Hodson won at Bama as a freshman in 1986 when they were ranked #6.

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.

I'm kind of surprised Slow has killed the top 10 team argument like he normally does, since those teams finished the season well down in the top 25...a little intellectual dishonesty going on

I'd probably say it was Bert Jones or Y.A. Tittle, but I never saw either of them play.
Hodson was great, but Rohan in 2001 was a machine and set all the throwing records besides career records. Of the one's I've seen, I'd have to say:
Rohan Davey (2001 season was phenominal)
Tommy Hodson (Career records and was a great QB)
J. Russell (Great talent, and was hard to stop at times)
M. Mauck (Great leader and could pass and run)
Herb Tyler (Good QB and had a really good career)
Matt Flynn (Hate to make the comparison, but see Mauck above. Had a noodle for an arm though)
