man it's so tough. I saw so many good ones that could torch a defense in so many ways.

Best overall college qb was probably Tebow. Dude was a great leader and could keep those guys together.

Best at Auburn was Cam or Marshall.

FSU I saw Casey Weldon sitting after 3 quarters every week and beating some good teams. Charlie Ward was exceptional in ways like tebow was.

Florida also had Grossman and Wuerfell.

UGA has so many over the years like Stafford, Fromm, Murray and Greene.

Croyle was a good one but had no coaching worth a shite.

All of these guys were really good and ones off the top of head.

Joe Burrow was must see TV this pat season. And I bet you that the majority of these clowns watched most of LSU games from beginning to end. Just to watch the best QB performance that they ever seen.

Hard to name just one that I saw live in person:

Steve Grogan
Brett Favre - I knew when he was at USM, he was going to be a star in the NFL as well.
Don Smith
Reggie Collier
Dak
Jim Kelly-great QB and he is a really great person as well. Had an opportunity to meet him some years back and enjoyed a few minutes of conversation with him. He and the late Kent Hull were best of friends.

JOE BURROW. Think about what his numbers would have looked like had he played every snap. How many more TDs? 10-15?
Another 1k yards?

His numbers as-is are amazing!

In a live environment, I was at the 2005 UT/OSU game where Vince Young played. He was an fing freak and one of those guys who you watched and just marveled at.


Not disagreeing about Young as a College QB. But If JOE BURROW did not make you say WOW in most of his games. Then I don't know what to say. I found myself often saying how did he do that or just amazed at how he never seemed to be rattled under pressure. It is almost like his heart rate never changed no matter what was going on.

Saw B. Favre beat Alabama in 90,coach Stallings first season.

Burrow is good, but how many of you remember Bert Jones?

I know of him but never saw him play. I don't know if I will ever see anything like Burrow at the college level again. He was truly an NFL QB playing at the college level. He appeared to be just as smart as the best coaches. Jimbo, Saban, Venables, GRANTHAM, Smart, Steele. No matter what they did he could answer with gusto.

I remembered him more from his time in the NFL than at LSU... but he is truly an LSU guy.

Outside of the Longhorns (Vince would be that answer), mine are, in no particular order:

Joe Burrow in 2019 (probably the best I've seen in person, at least in regard to single-game performance)

Matt Lienart in 2005
Baker Mayfield in 2016
Troy Smith in 2006
Sam Bradford in 2008
Kyler Murray in 2018
Treyvon Boykin in 2014
Chad Heine in 2004 (guy was a true freshman just slinging it all over the Rose Bowl)

Guys I saw that I thought were overrated:

Sam Darnold in 2017
Geno Smith in 2012

Burrow was way better than Newton, Tebow, and Manziel.

I think the reason why so many people are not picking Burrow because they turned the TV off during the middle of their arse whoopings. As for Cam, he was an elite athlete but if Boogs and Bams are being honest they know Joe is a better QB. Prove me wrong.

I remember Bert Jones but I did not see him live in person. Very good QB at LSU and the real Colts team, the Baltimore Colts.
The Indianapolis Colts are a fraud.
