ive posed this question to a few friends and everyone ends up at kenny stabler...surely somebody has came in before that....but neither school for whatever reason gets or goes after high profile qbs

Jeff Rutledge - once.

Rutledge spent most of his career as a back-up QB and a holder on kicks. His finest moment as a professional player came when he came off the bench in a game versus the Detroit Lions in 1990. Trailing 35-14 with 10:37 left in the third quarter Rutledge replaced an ineffective Stan Humphries and led a great comeback. He completing 30 of 42 passes for 363 yards and a touchdown as well as rushing 12 yards for the game tying touchdown with only 24 seconds remaining. In overtime, he hit Art Monk with a vital 40 yard pass on third and 15 to help drive for Chip Lohmiller's game winning field goal.

It meant Rutledge got the nod to start the following week on Monday Night against the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that was to become infamously known as the "Body Bag Game". Rutledge and then Stan Humphries were knocked out of the game, leaving emergency quarterback Brian Mitchell (a kick returner and former college quarterback) to finish the game. Rutledge would never start an NFL game again but he did see spot duty in relief of returning starter Mark Rypien in the Skins 1991 Super Bowl Championship season including some playing time in the Skins last game of the regular season, again against the Philadelphia Eagles

i trust you...but that was one game....why dont we put more qbs in the league...i know we put alot of backs in the league but damn...no qbs of consequence.....usc has 3 ...unreal

Traditionally, our schools are not QB friendly schools. Pounding the ball and defense has always been a staple of both schools and it shows with a few exceptions. I think that is more the reason why more than anything. For what Bama/Auburn QB's that are lacking on teams, look at the RB's that have started since the last QB did before Campbell.

He's too injury prone. Gonna make alot of money for riding the pine most of his career.
