The fact you do not have Danny Etling on this list utterly pisses me off and shows you don't know good QB play you fricking chump.

Danny Etling runs miles upon miles on Nussmeirer. The Nuss-buss is upside in a ditch and getting picked up to go to the recycle center.

Dude Danny Etling walked so Joe Burrow could run. He was the beginning of good QB play for the Tigers. Give me Anthony Jennings over Nuss for crying out loud dude. Nuss just didn't get it done and I'm not quite sure why you rantards love him so much. The guy literally stunk it up at LSU

Jamarcus Russell doesn’t belong in the top 5.He never worked hard enough in the film room or the playbook to maximize his skills.He was LAZY.LK DID NOT want to draft him at the Raiders because he knew how lazy he was.Al Davis forced him on Lane and look how it turned out.

A story that gets lost through time is Russell’s situation in 2006, his outlier, star season. He was dating Fats Domino’s niece and after the storms displaced Domino he moved in with Russell. He was a major positive influence on Russell, teaching him how to be a pro and how to sacrifice for greatness. I know JR had family tragedy’s that were challenging early in his NFL career and you never know how that’s going to impact a young person but he had a ton of talent and didn’t do much with it after signing that rookie deal.

Dude, that's just silly. You are letting the fact that we was an NFL bust affect your rankings. Based solely off of his performance at LSU, he's number three. And there is good size gap before #4.

You don't have every back up QB as they are the next best behind Burrow.

I would absolutely move Flynn up the list. Other than that your list looks pretty good.

The question was who was the better QB, not who had the most stats.

Etling needs to be in there above Nuss and Davey above Mauck.

Any list not containing Bert Jones and Y A Tittle is asinine. They were 2 and 3.

I would not. Flynn has the hardware, but if you drop most of the guys from the list on the 2007 team, the results would probably be the same. Fun Fact: Flynn had an interception rate of 3.06% in 2007 (11 INTs in 359 pass attempts), quite a bit higher than Nussmeier's 2.29 % in 2024 (12 INTs in 525 pass attempts).
