For example, Tim Tebow was great at what he did. Average to below average passer but I still qualify him as a QB. A damn good college QB too.
Below average passer based on what? Has the SEC career passing efficiency rating at 170.8 (which is second in NCAA history by the way). He threw for 9,285 yards, 88 TD's and only 16 interceptions and had a career completion percentage over 66% which is 2nd in SEC history.

Almost died at the hands of a Kentucky player. Can't leave that out.
That was also the gift that keeps on giving because Gator fans were obligated to think Jeff Brantley would be good.

Don't be so naive bro. His passing numbers are inflated because of him being such a running threat. Teams had to keep 8 in the box on every play to try and stop him (which most of the time they didn't). It's pretty easy for an average passer to put up big numbers when everyone is stacking the box.

1. Tim Tebow
4-year player, 3-year starter
2 National Championships (one as starter, one as role player)
2 SEC Championships, 3 SECCG appearances
35-6 as a starter, 48-7 during his 4-years
Heisman Trophy winner (at the time, first underclassman ever)
3-time Heisman finalist
2-time Maxwell Award winner (2007, 2008)
2-time 1st Team All American (2007, 2008)
3-time 1st Team All SEC (2007, 2008, 2009)
1st in SEC passing efficiency (170.8), 2nd in NCAA history
145 TDs (88 passing, 57 rushing)
12,233 Total Yds (9,286 passing, 2,947 rushing)
Didn't bother to look up specifics, but undoubtedly impressive record vs. ranked teams
1st round NFL Draft pick (25th overall)
Unless we define what "top players" means (pure talent, potential, best individual season, hardware, overall individual performance, championships, leadership, etc.) this debate is meaningless. Tebow is the best combination of all of that and he played for 4 years. Arguably in the top 5 SEC (and NCAA) players of all time, not just since the NC streak began. No one else on the list comes close.
"Yeah, but he has an awkward throwing motion..."
But since this debate is basically "throw logic and stats out the window and pick 5 SEC players you'd want on your team" (since 2006) I'd go with: 1. Tebow 2. Cam 3. McFadden 4. Harvin 5. Clowney
