I would. LSU put each of them in a position to get drafted by an NFL team. Getting drafted at all is a rare feat in itself, much less the number of players at one position that have been drafted from one school in 20 years.

They bear no responsibility for what they did after they were drafted.
Except that the NFL scouts notice trends like this. And if they draft a bunch of guys who can't play from the same school, they're going to start devaluing that school in the future.

Hasn’t stopped USC QBs from being picked so high.

Yes...but they've had their fair share of good one's also.

I've always believed that the NFL liked Big10 QB's. Maybe
because they were true drop back passers or something.

They were usually big kids. Wisconsin has had a bunch get
drafted and do well in the league.

So has Stanford, and Stanford has done it over the years.

But Bert Jones was a long time ago for LSU. Then go back
20 years before Jones for YA Title.

The NFL likes to use mid to late picks on B1G QBs. It’s been over a decade since he last one was taken in the first round.

There's guys who at least moved around the league a little on the USC list. Sanchez, Palmer, and Rodney Peete weren't immortals, and may not have lived up to their draft stock, but they could at least hold down the fort for a little while.

Matt Flynn is the only name even recognizable on the list from LSU.

That dude made a career off of one game against the Detroit Lions.

It's been 10 years since LSU won the natty. Records since:

2009 9-4 National: #17 Recruiting: #1
2010 11-2 #8 Recr: #9
2011 13-1 #2 Recr: #8
2012 10-3 #14 Recr: #13
2013 10-3 #14 Recr: #6
2014 8-5 N/A Recr: #2
2015 9-3 #16 Recr: #5
2016 8-4 #13 Recr: #2
2017 9-4 #18 Recr: #7

Their recruiting has been top 10 the last 5 years, but their record is like 1 step forward, 2 steps back. They underperform their talent level, gotta point your finger at the coaching.
Actually, it's been 11 years since the Tigers won their last natty (2007).

This.

Laugh all you want but that is a quarterback every 3rd class. Regardless of what they do afterwards every school in the nation would be hyping that result
