A few Florida guys did, but their a tad smarter than most SEC fans, sadly
Wrong, again. We all know and remember Chris Leak well because he to re the SEC up. You keep making the mistake thinking anybody gave a damn about your QB around here in the SEC. That's the issue here. That was 2007. Now if we had said Chris Leak and Andre Woodson are under appreciated from that season, everyone on here would chime in with pertinent responses.

James Franklin coached Vandy to consecutive 9 win seasons. No one here is ever, ever going to think of some Missouri QB first over that accomplishment. Now kindly go jump in a house fire.

People remember Leak and not Franklin for a couple of reasons:

Leak wins National Championship as starter
Franklin does not

Leak starts for 4 sesasons in one conference
Franklin does not

Leak throws for nearly 2x as many yards in the same amount of time.

Franklin only faced 1/2 of the SEC East teams one time...Leak played every SEC East team 4 times....so, naturally, people on here remember him.

You probably don't remember Leak, because you were in the Big-12 when he was tearing up the SEC.

This is more a rant on how the national media perceives these quarterbacks, not how hardcore fans of CFB see it

If I didn't remember and respect Leak I never woulda made this thread

Yeah that was the final score. I was super tired when I posted that and must have transposed that 6 from another score.

Leak is more known than both, but you're an idiot if you don't think Leak should be overshadowed by one of the best college QB's of all time.

You know how well known your former QB is? I swear that when I read the title of the OP, it was going to be about someone disrespecting Chris Leak and PENN STATES coach on TV, or something.

Both were afraid to take a hit. Particularly Leak. I remember many a time on third down, the pocket would collapse and he'd have to run to move the chains, only to take a dive two yards short and no defenders within five yards.

Why do 90% of the posters find this topic offensive?
