Burrow is clearly number 1.

Russell and Rohan are your next two without a doubt. Depending on how you account for supporting cast, that will determines who is 2 and 3.

Mauck, Flynn and Mett are all around the same in the next tier. People forget how good Mauck was in 2002 before his injury. I think he’s likely number 4. Flynn had less talent around him in 2007 than Mett did at WR as crazy as that sounds.

Perilloux showed flashes and is likely mid tier here.

Finally, as much as people bash Lee, I think he is screwed by coaching. He showed flashes and was pretty good outside of Bama his senior year.

Jefferson never developed but had talent, but he won some big games (Bama 2010/2011).

Etling was the definition of a tough-nosed game manager. If I’d put him on par with those two. Reminds me of Randall who I put level with him.

Finally, Harris is the one that got completely wasted bug poor coaching. He had tons of potential.

Jennings has one good play against Arkansas as a Freshman and nothing else. If not for that play, he never starts st LSU. He is by far the second worst.

Hatch was the worst clearly but just because he lacked any talent for this level. Smart as heck and young kid, but no way he could succeed.

Kind of like how Lee shite the bed in Tuscaloosa, huh?

They were both shitting QB's, Jefferson was just a microfiber less shitty than Lee.

Post-Mett QBs are:

1 Etling
2 Harris
3 Jennings

I'm not really sure that's up for debate, considering that Etling beat out Harris, and Harris beat out Jennings. The only point in Jennings' favor is that he did have a halfway decent year at ULL in 2016, whereas Harris went on to be downright terrible at North Carolina (1:8 TD:INT ratio WTF).

I would rate Mauvk over Mettenburger. He was a winner. He was very underrated, even by Saban, and stepped it up in big games. Mettenberger tended to choke, throwing interceptions.

Would have been interesting to see him under Ensminger/Brady. My all-time favorite.
