re: Worst Quarterback To Win An SEC Title?

Jay Barker was pretty terrible.

The year he won it in 92 he was not great, however by the end of his career he was perfectly fine. Hard to argue a guy who was in the NFL a few years (albeit as a 3rd stringer) is the worst of all time.

I mean Andrew Zow was the worst Alabama QB to win one in terms of full career.

Most people don't remember this, because Barker was a fine QB two years later as a senior.

As the starting QB in 1992, Barker was 132 of 243 with 7 TD's and 9 interceptions. Calling him "pedestrian" would be giving him too much credit.

It's funny to me when people now want to call AJ or McElroy a "game manager". 1992 Jay Barker was a game manager.
