If we are talking about leading a team, distributing the ball, protecting the ball, and making all the correct pre and post snap reads, and simply having the ability to WIN football games- you know like what a QB is supposed to be... I'd go:

1. AJ Nearly went 2 solid years without a turnover. Executed everything the way he was told to. Didn't do too much, just distributed and protected the ball. All he ever did was win.

2. Mac orchestrated the single greatest Bama offense I've ever witnessed. It was beautiful, and he was simply perfect. If he plays as long as AJ he probably finishes at No.1 ahead of AJ,... but he didn't

3. Tua Had more arm talent than the previous two put together, but had a lot of hero ball problems, and thus injuries and turnovers. Was clearly the most "talented" QB ever at Bama- EVER But,... he only won 1 title.

4. Bryce Man what this guy could have done with the 16,17,18 teams- Bryce more than any other player was a victim of place and time. He could have very well left UA as the most winningest QB ever, and rivaled AJ for titles if he had a supporting cast,... but he didn't

5A. Hurts way up there on the "talent" scale, but didn't materialize until after his departure from UA. One of the better character guys on the entire list, and absolutely saved our arse in the SECCG when Tua was injured.

5B. Coker blue collar, grit, tough as nails, won a title.

5C. Blake Sims A lot of this belongs to Kiffin, but had an incredible season.

6. McElroy highly cerebral but severely limited athletically. Did his job. Won a title which goes a long way no matter what anybody says.
