And do you want to talk about LSU's esteemed list of NFL QBs? It ain't any better.
Are you even an LSU fan?
Joe Burrow
Bert Jones - NFL MVP 1976
Y.A. Tittle - Hall of Fame

And you can add David Woodley to that list. He led Miami to the Super Bowl where they lost to the Redskins in 1982. In 1983 he started out the year before being replaced by some kid named Dan Marino.

I am. So three QBs and a bunch of nothing over 80+ years of football. Not exactly at the top of any list.
I just think it's funny to besmirch the NFL success of Tennessee QBs considering LSU has a good NFL QB 9or even regular starting NFL QB), on average, once every few decades. LSU had a big fat zero number of full-season NFL starters at QB from Bert Jones to Joe Burrow, over 40 years.
Regardless, in the context of this discussion, citing how players did in the NFL is silly. Danny Wuerffel accomplished effectively nothing in the NFL, but that doesn't mean he wasn't arguably the best college QB of his era. Plenty of all-time great college QBs don't make it as pros and there are also average to above average college QBs who turn into NFL studs. But neither takes away or adds to their values and accomplishments in college which is what this is all about.
