Why is Bart Starr on this list? This is second time in 3 days a list such as this has been produced. Look at his career at Alabama.
Yeah, I looked it up.
At bama, Bart Starr played one full season and threw for 870 yards and totaled 8 TDs on a team that only won 6 games.
That's it. One. year. He was benched and hardly played any his senior year after sitting out his junior year with injuries as well.

Stewart is nowhere near Tannehill as a player.
and WTF are you doing blaming Tannehill for 2011? That's flat out asinine.
I'm sorry but there is no way Stewart belongs in a top 5 of Aggie QBs. Hell, Mark Farris should be above him.
Johnny Football
Kevin Murray
Bucky Richardson
Corey Pullig
Edd Hargett
and if you want to go modern era only take off EH for either Tannehill or Jerrod.

Why is Bart Starr on this list? This is second time in 3 days a list such as this has been produced. Look at his career at Alabama.

I included him because he was a Bama QB who put up HOF stats in his pro career.

And Gary Hollingsworth was first team All-SEC QB.

He'd be #6 for sure. If Steve would'uv had the talent we have now he would have won the SEC. He was the most gifted passing QB in our history - could move in the pocket like nobody I have ever seen. The guy is winning state championships as a head coach in high school these days. Has won a state championship at every school he's coached so far. Three different schools.

Dan Reeves?
He was a good QB ... maybe one of our best competitors ever, in truth. He'd have to be #7 for sure and only because we didn't win enough games with Reeves behind center - but it really wasn't his fault. We always thought he was a running QB but when he threw for 350 yards against Nebraska it sort of changed things.

Damn impressive. To not be a QB school we have had some guys that just win. We have guys not in top 5 that would make other's top 3.

says a lot about your program to say that a kid that is a sophomore in HS will be your best QB ever
No it says a lot about how good Kyler Murray is (Kevin Murray's son, a unanimous pick among Aggies as a top 5 guy). Can't wait to see him on campus. I think he'll be better than his dad and he's likely to be the No. 1 overall QB recruit in the nation by his senior season.
