How is RG3 and Petty doing ? Peyton starts for Denver, Stafford for Detroit. Mallet, JFF and Mek fot Tennessee Titans have all started this year so thats 5 SEC QBs in a top 2 depth chart. A.J. is the back u at Cinccy


RG3 was an injury waiting to happen but he did quite well his rookie year. Not the same QB post-injury. Petty was a project.

Peyton, okay. Stafford has been largely underwhelming. Mallet has been awful. JFF only started because of injury to the starter and was bad. Mett only started because of injury to Mariota and was about average. Eli has 2 super bowl rings. Matt Flynn has bounced around the league. etc. etc. SEC QBs as a while are not quite the shining light you paint them to be.

They're not but just to be starting in the NFL is pretty good in the grand scheme of things. Also 5 of the last 9 Super Bowls have featured a SEC QB.

2006 Peyton Manning, Rex Grossman
2007 Eli Manning
2009 Peyton Manning
2011 Eli Manning
2013 Peyton Manning

Ok 3 players but still

We've got quite a few starters (or have started) in the league: Cam, Cutler, Peyton, Eli, Stafford, Mett... can we claim Gabbert and Tannehill? Not bad for one conference.
