Kenny Stabler was a great quarterback. Loved the Snake with the Raiders and also with the Oilers

It's been a long stretch from the Starr/Namath/Stabler eras, but how many other teams can say that outside of Oklahoma today?
Based on the replies to the cold hard facts so far, no one.

None. There has literally never been a successful OSU QB in the NFL. It is bizarre.

Pretty sure those guys were the product of a slightly system than Sabans QBs.

Kent Graham made a decent career out of being a backup. Is it really tough to understand that the school known for "3 yard and a cloud of dust" hasn't had success putting quarterbacks in the league?

Joe Willie and the Snake played for coach Bryant. A defense-first/last kind of guy. It was coach Bryant that famously said: "At Alabama, we don't win Heismans, we win National Championships." Which both Namath and Stabler also accomplished at BAMA.

Has had one season and hasn't won anything yet.
He might succeed, but let's not count those chickens yet.

With all the talk of Mac Jones being graded higher than Fields due to "systemic racism"

He has a long release and floats the ball.

Justin Fields
I think Fields is slightly overrated in the first place, only getting the pub he receives because he played at a big school, I think higher of Lance than I do him

Purdue has a decent QB tradition historically. Ken Dawson, Bob Griese, and Drew Brees. Jim Everett had a decent career.

Rex Kern FTW

I will say though. Its hilarious how much Mac is getting ripped for having a great supporting cast while a guy that went to Ohio State is getting propped up
Well, I think it's pretty clear why Fields is getting propped up right now. Don't want to "go there" but the media has made his game being questioned into a race thing. It's so ridiculous.

oddly enough, NC State: Phillip Rivers, Russell Wilson, Jacoby Brissett, Mike Glennon, and Ryan Finley all started games in 2020, albeit Finley started after Burrow got hurt. Still pretty damn imporessive for a ranbdom school like that.
USC, at one time, had Matt Leinart, Matt Cassell, Carson Palmer, and Mark Sanchez starting in the NFL.
Michigan had Tomt Brady, Briane Griese, and Chad Hennee starting at the same time
Miami had a run with Testeverde, Kelly, Mira, Kosar, and Walsh
Purdue has been a ton of QBs in the league. BYU used to pump them out too

Len Dawson.
Add Mike Phipps and Gary Danielson to your list.
Add Mike Phipps and Gary Danielson to your list.

Ok, cool,
A. J. McCarron A career back up journeyman
Greg McElroy done in the 1st contract
John Brodie Croyle done after 1 contract
Jake Coker 1 year scout team
Blake Sims 1 year scout team journeyman
John Parker Wilson 1 contract
Freddie Kitchens longest NFL career to date but he did it as a coach.
Tua Tagovailoa TBD likely injury hampered.
