I’d put Burrow at 2 behind Tebow, then Newton, Young and Mayfield.

The only QB who could conceivably be argued against Burrow is Newton, and obviously Jones*

Imo list should be

1 Burrow
2 Cam
3 Young
4 M. Jones
5 Tebow

Just off of stats/ production and off my personal eye.

I’d actually put Burrow ahead of Tebow. Better passer. Tebow excelled because of Dan Mullen’s system in that he likes a running QB.

Just fyi this is comparing career, not single-season.

3 of the 5 only had 1 relevant season.

Tebow is number 1: 2 national titles, a Heisman and an icon on and off the field.

Tebow was Mr. College Football from ‘06-‘09. The second Tebow left, UF went to shite despite still having maybe the most talented roster in CFB.

Joe Burrow and Cam were great and I love Mac Jones, but those guys just had one spectacular season.

Also comparing passing stats pre targeting and post targeting is completely worthless. You couldn’t throw over the middle of the field when guys like Chad Jones were roaming the secondary.

Where is Marcus Mariota on the list?

His college stats were absurd.

Only reason I’d put Tebow ahead of Burrow is he has 2 nattys to Burrow’s one. If not for that, Burrow would be top dog.

Baker 1 is so bad. Vince Burrow and Cam are the only three in the convo for the top spot I think

For as amazing as Burrow was and as great as Tebow was, Cam and Vince have no peers on the college level.

I don’t get this. Burrow had a better season than Cam. And Tebow has a better career than Young
