3. Florida (Draft Picks: Danny Wuerffel, Jesse Palmer, Rex Grossman, Tim Tebow) — Steve Spurrier coached three of these guys, all pocket passers, but the headliner was Tebow, the Gators’ courageous leader in the late 2000s who won two national titles and a Heisman during his career under Urban Meyer as a dual-threat playmaker … Spurrier’s personal favorite was Fun-N-Gun facilitator Wuerffel, a 1996 Heisman winner and national champion … Grossman was a consensus All-American in 2001 and nearly won the bronze statue.
2. LSU: (Draft Picks: Josh Booty, Craig Nall, Rohan Davey, Matt Mauck, JaMarcus Russell, Matt Flynn, Zach Mettenberger) — LSU’s seven draft picks at the position is the most at any SEC program since 1989, but several were non-factors at the next level … Nall was a career second-teamer for the Tigers and accounted for five times as many pro touchdown passes (5) than his total in college … Mauck’s legacy was a 2003 national title and his No. 18 jersey now being part of tradition, worn annually by LSU’s best representative of the program on and off the field … Russell, a former No. 1 overall pick in 2007 who won 21 games in 25 starts at LSU, is considered one of the biggest Draft busts of all-time … Mettenberger’s the only quarterback in school history to throw for 2,500 or more yards in back-to-back seasons … He was drafted in the sixth round by Tennessee in 2014.
1. Georgia (Draft Picks: Eric Zeier, Quincy Carter, David Greene, D.J. Shockley, Matt Stafford, Aaron Murray) — Greene won the SEC Championship in 2002 and graduated as the winningest quarterback in Division I history with 42 wins over a four-year span … That record was later broken by Colt McCoy at Texas … Stafford was the Detroit Lions’ No. 1 overall pick in 2009 and is one of four NFL quarterbacks to throw for more than 5,000 yards in a single season … Murray, the SEC’s all-time leading passer and four-year starter, tossed a 43-yard touchdown pass on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers for his first NFL completion … In three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys (2001-03), Carter threw for 5,839 yards with 29 touchdowns in 31 starts.

Not a whole lot of NFL success for the top 3.

We should pick a school that actually develops NFL QB's.

Successful NFL quarterbacks are so rare.

The SECr.

I would say there is no SEC team that can claim that title.

Limiting the lists to "draft picks" leaves out some pretty good college QBs. Chris Leak was a better college QB than the majority of these "draft picks."
I don't understand why people only look at how players perform in the pros when judging how well programs develop players. Leak was just as polished and developed as any of these guys. He was just a 5'11" pocket passer without much of an arm.

Please don't tell me you think SDS is a news outlet. Seriously serious.
And I get my news from lots of different places, but I sure as shite don't get it from a site that said Derek Mason is a better coach than Les Miles.

3 of Mizzou's last 4 QBs are all still in the NFL (technically all 4, but I doubt James Franklin makes the Lions final roster). Paul Christman was a Heisman finalist and played several years in the NFL as well.

I've heard several times lately that Gabbert is considered one of the worst QBs in the league. Not starter, but worst overall. That's impressive for a former first round pick.

Should put the years as a starter, or the amount of games, so there is some context.

What kind of article is not an opinion article?

Stafford's the only one that's still in the league and you could argue that he hasn't exactly panned out as planned. He's been pretty good though and taken the lions to the playoffs.
