How many of your QBs have thrown for over 3,000 yards in a season?

I feel like 3,000+ yard passers are becoming more and more common in today's game, so I was just curious as to how many players from each SEC school have accomplished this feat. Alabama has had the following:
- A.J. McCarron (2013) - 3,063 passing yards
- Blake Sims (2014) - 3,487 passing yards
- Jake Coker (2015) - 3,110 passing yards
- Tua Tagovailoa (2018) - 3,966 passing yards
- Mac Jones (2020) - 4,500 passing yards
- Bryce Young (2021) - 4,872 passing yards
- A.J. McCarron (2013) - 3,063 passing yards
- Blake Sims (2014) - 3,487 passing yards
- Jake Coker (2015) - 3,110 passing yards
- Tua Tagovailoa (2018) - 3,966 passing yards
- Mac Jones (2020) - 4,500 passing yards
- Bryce Young (2021) - 4,872 passing yards

Peyton Manning - 3,819
Tyler Bray - 3,612
Erik Ainge - 3,522
Peyton Manning - 3,287
Then we have six between 2,945 and 3,000 (two names listed twice here, Manning and Clausen).

Should really be calibrated for yards per game.
For example, Georgia had a 3,000 yard passer in 1993 in a 12 game season. Bama’s first 3,000 yard passer wasn’t until 2013 in a 13 game season.
The minimum number of games an SEC team can play now is 12 (regular season without a bowl appearance).
So, the better question is how many of your QBs have finished an entire season throwing an average of 250 yards/game?

All those QBs are mediocre talents at absolute best who benefited from being in Saban's machine.
Manning, Shuler, Dobbs, Ainge and the iceman Casey Clausen put all those losers to shame. Id even take Tyler Bray over all of those. Those guys wouldn't do shite with dooley or butch as their coach.
Tug Tavolia or however tf his name is spelled had to be the most overrated college QB of all time besides maybe one of Hawaiis early 2000s era QBs.

They were good college QBs and that's all that matters in the grand scheme of things. I couldn't give a shite less what they went on to do in the NFL. The fact of the matter is, A.J. McCarron is one of the only QBs in CFB history to win back-to-back consensus national championships as a starting QB. Tommie Frazier at Nebraska technically did it, too, but he missed most of the '94 season with blood clots.

Didn’t realize it’s been so long. Manning has already retired from NFL and no body has done it since he left.

While this is true, There’s a reason why he is never brought up as an all timer and he is never even the first couple things mentioned on those teams when they are brought up.
Those Bama teams were loaded at every position, Mccaron simply didn’t screw things up. You put Aaron Murray or an actually talented College QB on that team and Bama doesn’t lose a game in 3 straight years.

It is obscene how much time McCarron had behind the offensive line. He had anywhere between 4-6 seconds in a protected pocket.

He remains the winningest QB in Alabama football history, he was an All-American in 2013, won the Walter Camp Award, and was a runner-up in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He's going to be in the CFB Hall of Fame one day.

Yeah, I'm sure that 2011 WR corps struck fear into the hearts of SEC secondaries with names like Darius Hanks, Marquis Maze, DeAndrew White, and Kenny Bell.

Almost any DB will be unable to cover a WR for more than 4 seconds. And I seem to remember a stout running game in 2011 and more than a handful of flea-flickers.

Bray and Ainge were both after Manning…

Johnny Manziel (2012) - 3706
Johnny Manziel (2013) - 4114
Kellen Mond (2018) - 3107
3000 yard passers are becoming more and more common due to the numerous rules added to make things easier on the offense. RPO, roughing the passer changes,targetting , etc.. but also the advent of the Spread which takes advantage of mismatch in talent in many cases which is more prevalent in college football than per se the NFL.
All you need to do is look at Mond who was a sub 60% completion QB his overall career and still managed to get a 3000 yard season.

Not just rules, but also more games. The regular season has increased by 1 game in 30 years. And there are more bowl games. Back in the early 90s, if you managed a 6-5 regular season, you wouldn’t be guaranteed a bowl game. Now, at 6-6 (technically a worse record), you can rest assured you will get a bowl game.
