Teams like Alabama and Oklahoma shouldn't care about who the "best" QB is; they should only care about who the "most successful" QB is. I hope Jalen Hurts joins the list of the most successful QB's to ever play at Oklahoma; I don't care if he's the best or even close to it, wins the Heisman Trophy or anything else.
Here is a list of former OU QB's. Pick out the most successful QB's. And what do they all have in common? They each won a NC. Talent, NFL draft status, awards, etc. don't mean anything when the ultimate goal at schools like Bama and OU is to win as many NC's as you can.
Sam Bradford
Jason White
Josh Heupel
Steve Davis
Jamelle Holleway
Baker Mayfield
Jack Mildren
Thomas Lott
Kyler Murray
