re: Where do they rank Stetson in the SEC if he wins the Natty again?

Names have been hidden to preserve anonymity, but it doesn't look like he was added by anyone that starts with a W. Not sure how I got dragged into all this

I've often said Murray is the best QB we've ever had and I stick by that, whether I'm right or wrong who knows that's just what I feel personally. I don't really see how anyone could present a rational case that stetson is a "better quarterback" than aaron murray but it seems that's the route you're going.

Stetson is better throwing the screens than Aaron Murray. Murray had a much stronger arm and could hit tight horizontal windows in zone that Stet (up to this point) does not excel at (I think that also makes Murray a better red zone QB).
But Murray would have won a national championship if he could have the touch to get the ball up and down over the pass rush better. In 4 years, he was never good at that. And in 4 years, he had to suffer the consequences of a pass rush pinning their ears back because he didn't have an effective counter.

Is Stet better than Murray?
It is debatable both ways.
Stets ability to get the ball up and down efficiently over all 3 levels of the defense makes him more dangerous against man coverage. It adds the screen game to his playbook which can make him more dangerous than Murray against blitzing teams.

With Jalen Carter at fullback, I might take Stet over Murray at this point. And at the end of the season, it may be a much quicker answer.

Man, i have watched 20 years of highlights recently and Murray's arm was not appreciably different than Stetson, hell stet goes deep way more and connects.

Richts offense was built around the 15 yard out, under Kirby it has been the deep ball off of fear of the run game.

Here is what the nfl thought of Murray:

Strengths
Has a quick release and is light enough on his feet to escape the first wave and make some plays on the move
Solid decision-maker -- takes what the defense gives him
Fine short-to-intermediate accuracy
Good intangibles
Encouraging team leader with a likeable personality
Leads by example
Serves well as the face of the program
Outstanding work ethic
Is very intelligent and football smart
Experienced, four-year starter in the SEC

Weaknesses
Short and short-armed with a low release point that leads to batted balls
Very small-framed with a thin waist and a body that is not built to withstand the punishment that comes in the pocket
Average arm talent
Has to set his feet and everything needs to be perfect to function well
Could stand to improve his footwork
Marginal deep-ball accuracy -- tends to overstride and forces receivers to adjust
Many passes are pre-determined and often throws to spots
Loses poise under duress and can be rattled easily by pressure
Gets too jittery and anxious (overanalyzes) in big games and has a very low winning percentage vs
top-10 teams
Long-term durability is concerning
