Why were they all awful this year?

The transfer portal.

It is largely impossible to coach a player who has starting potential for more than a year before he transfers. You either put them in as a starter before they are ready or they leave. And even if you do start them, they still may transfer to a higher bidder. There are a few exceptions, but 43 of the 68 power 4 starting QBs this season were transfers. If a quarterback doesn’t transfer, it is most likely because they aren’t good enough to get a better offer elsewhere. Of the 4 final teams in the playoffs, only Drew Allar was with the team they originally signed with. Notre Dame, Texas and Ohio State all have transfers starting at QB.

Quarterback play is down across the board, not just in the SEC. Look at the top rated NFL draft QBs.
