With no insult intended to JFF I don't think he cracks the top 4 all time in the SEC. As we saw when he made it to the NFL a lot of his success was due to the system and getting bailed out by tremendous WR play.
This begs the question: who benefitted more from the relationship--Sumlin or Manziel?
Both failed without the other, but not after making a lot of money based on the success they had together.

When a poll uses the word "ever", you have to take into consideration all the players who ever played in the SEC. Bama i am sure has at least 4 who qualify, from both sides of the ball. The gators' Matthew & Wuerfill both won more games & titles and were All Americans. Check out Spurrier's stats. LSU has at least 3 who should be considered & those 3 all played both ways, were All Americans, one won the Heisman & the other came in second by 4 votes. The other was first team All American for 3 yrs. Ms.State had a QB named John Bond & he gave the league fits for 3 yrs. Noting the use of the word "exciting": is that the criteria being used to make him the best of all times? Harvin in the Swamp scared me to death. UT had a QB named Peyton that was pretty good. You want exciting, watch the game tapes of Archie's games. JFF never lost less than 3 games & in his big year, there were 4 first round draft choices lined up next to him.
