I agree that Murray was awesome. Loved seeing him graduate. But I am not sure who you put him ahead of on that list.

Sorry, but Chad Kelly absolutely deserves to be on the list, no matter your opinion of him.

In 2015, he passed for 4,042 yards, which is the 3rd most yards ever in the SEC for a single season (Tim Couch at #1, and Johnny Manziel at #2). He passed for 31 TDs and rushed for another 10 TDs.

where is 2 time national champion AJ McCarron

He's standing behind one of the best OLines in college football history handing off to one of his big time Heisman candidate RBs somewhere.

I wont speak on Jones because I really dont remember a lot about him but I would take Stafford over him and certainly Marshall.

I really think people do not understand how good Marshall was. The defense losing the National Championship game to FSU really hurt his reputation as a QB in the eyes of people who do not know what he accomplished and how good he was


And I would still take Stafford. Murray just seemed like he never won any big games that mattered. I loved his play though

Manziel was better than tebow in college tebow just had a better team.


that's so idiotic. Manziel had an elite offensive line and an elite receiver. without that offensive line, nobody would even know who Manziel is. Tebow had great receivers but only marginally better than what Maniel threw to. Tebow had a pretty good OL but nothing close to aggies. Tebow beat Pittsburg in the playoffs by throwing the football.

Nick Marshall took a 3-9 team to within 13 seconds of winning a national championship.

That’s absurd.

Yep. He just doesn't have the accolades or press that the others had.

I don't really think that that hurt his reputation much at all. I just think that people look at him as too one-dimensional. The dude could sling it at times, and torched the frick out of Alabama in 2014, but for the most part, he never wowed with his arm. Not really his fault, considering the system he played in. He had a cannon for sure, though. This is all my opinion.

He was a product of the system. The RPO wasn't nearly as popular and teams weren't ready for it.

It depends on the criteria on how to determine the "Top 10"

If you mean hardware, then AJ is top 3 due to titles and a #2 Heisman vote, but in terms of skill I wouldn't put him top 3. Top 3 pocket passers probably, as your top 3 weren't pocket passers.

I think, from a college career perspective, Tebow was better than Cam simply because he played more seasons. Both had a national title and a Heisman, but one also led to a division title and 13-1 season to cap the title 2008 season. Cam only had 2010 - who knows how good or bad his other seasons would have been.

Cam won a title though, so he still gets the nod over Manziel. Of course, if off the field issues count, Manziel drops a lot.

In hotness of SOs, AJ and Johnny are probably above the rest of them.
