SEC QB's of '05
Page 5 of 6
  1. David Greene - 4 year career who ends up owning the NCAA Division I wins record, 2 East Titles, and an SEC Championship/Sugar Bowl victory.

    Matt Jones - At one point in his career dealt with over 30% of all Arkansas offense and lead the team on several occasions with 100+ yards in his final several games his 1st year at the helm. Has over 1900+ yards rushing finishing up 2nd in the SEC All-Time in rushing yards for a QB. He has been the winning quarterback in the two longest games in NCAA football history.

    Jason Campbell - Never really lived up to expectations until his final year which I think everyone knows about.

    Then we have Chris Leak coming up......Russell coming up.....maybe DJ Shockley.....Eric Ainge....

    I am not sure where this thought was going....if you want to go farther back to 2003 we have Eli Manning, Matt Mauck, and Casey Clausen who all were All-SEC QB's and Eli is currently playing in the NFL along with Mauck and Clausen was at the Chiefs (not sure if he is still).

    2002 had Rex Grossman who is currently playing and/or starting for the Bears come next year.

    I see plenty of SEC talent all over the field every year.
  2. Marine, guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this issue. In my opinion last year the SEC had 3 good QB's in Leak, Campbell and Greene. Out of 12 schools that just is not very good IMO. And when you look at how many bad QB;s there are it makes it even clearer to me. The conference as a whole does not do a good job at the QB position.
  3. So by your standards....the Pac-10 doesn't do a good job with their QB's (Leinhart, Rodgers, and Walter from ASU).....the Big 12 doesn't do a good job with their QB's (White, McNeal, and maybe Young?)...

    What conference did exactly do a good job then?
  4. off top of my head, i'd guess the west coast has produced the top qbs as of late but Im not certain.

    Knee-jerk reaction would be to say the SEC hasnt produced a lot of prolific qbs overall but if you narrow that down to each conference I think you'll realize its the same for all majors. There are no overwhelming NFL caliber qbs from one conference. All have a handful and a lot of busts.

    I guess Norm Chow would be the one to look at and not a particular conference.


    Miami had kosar, vinny t., jim kelly, steve walsh and now dorsey while FSU and UF has had no one really make it huge in the NFL.


    its odd when you start trying to pinpoint great quarterbacks from a conference you realize there aren't that many good ones overall, much less from one.
  5. Brad Johnson went to FSU, but I guess it depends on your definition of huge.

    To me, a Super Bowl ring is huge.

  6. im a huge bucs fan so i know all about brad and i like him. As great as Brady is with 3 superbowl rings, I was leaning more to the prolific passers in the game but point taken. rings are all that matter.

    simms is now the man i suppose.
  7. 1. Anderson, Derek OSU SR 12 -152 3615 590 3463 288.6
    2. Walter, Andrew. ASU SR 11 -112 3150 484 3038 276.2
    3. Leinart, Matt.. USC JR 13 -44 3322 461 3278 252.2
    4. Clemens,Kellen. ORE JR 11 190 2548 490 2738 248.9
    5. Rodgers,Aaron.. CAL JR 12 126 2566 390 2692 224.3
    6. Olson,Drew..... UCLA JR 12 106 2565 394 2671 222.6

    1. Chris Leak.......... UF SO 12 399 238 12 59.6 3197 29 266.4
    2. David Greene........ UG SR 12 299 175 4 58.5 2508 20 209.0
    3. Jason Campbell...... AU SR 13 270 188 7 69.6 2700 20 207.7
    4. Matt Jones.......... AR SR 11 264 151 12 57.2 2073 15 188.5
    5. Jay Cutler.......... VU JR 11 241 147 5 61.0 1844 10 167.6
    6. Ethan Flatt......... UM SO 10 220 123 10 55.9 1530 6 153.0

    I sure would take the PAC 10's top 6 QB's from last season over the top 6 from the SEC.


    I do think that the big conferences do not do that great of a job in general as I guess the QB position is the hardest to judge a high school player at. And I was really trying to compare the SEC with any other conference although I do believe they would be found to be behind the Big 10 and the Pac 10 in NFL QB's.

    What I think is amazing is how many of the QB's in the NFL are from non-BCS conferences.

  8. 2 starters from Marshall alone. unreal. STARTERS.
  9. How can someone compare the Pac-10 and the SEC QB's from a stat perspective and say they are better? That is ridiculous. Look at the difference in attempts by the Pac-10 QB's....515 by Anderson? I wouldn't take Derek Anderson on my team if you paid me. The same goes with many other of those Pac-10 QB's that threw the ball 40 times a game to rack up their stats.

    In the SEC teams actually have something called a defense and a "secondary" which the Pac-10 lacks dearly on many teams.....the SEC leader had 399 attempts I believe by Leak.

    I am sure from a stat perspective the Pac-10 QB's are better but overall....that makes no sense whatsoever.
  10. I wasn't looking at stats as much as I was looking at the players. Like I said, we'll just agree to disagree.

    By the way, after seeing how courageous and accurate Anderson was in DV last fall, I'd take him on my team in a minute.
