College Football's Top 50 Quarterbacks of the BCS Era | AthlonSports.com

Pretty good list. Although I'm surprised Cam Newton and Colt McCoy weren't higher.

 

[Sox33OSU]

Tebow >>> VY

+1 Heisman and +1 NC

 

[Shanemansj13]

lol Troy Smith at 29

 

[starbigd]

lol Troy Smith at 29

LOL at Eric Crouch making the list

 

[Sox33OSU]

Pryor deserved to be in the top 15 if we're going by accomplishments, and Braxton doesn't belong yet.

 

[Smoke]

No Craig Krenzel. This list is flawed.

 

[Shanemansj13]

No Craig Krenzel. This list is flawed.

and no Todd Boeckman

 

[Golden Spur]

Matt Stafford should have been higher than #59, imo.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

LOL at Eric Crouch making the list

Had to put him on there somewhere since he won the Heisman......

It's like a rule or somethin. From here on out he will always be known as a good QB even though Taylor Martinez is actually more goodar.

 

[bone3421]

well they got number 1 right............

What about NFL careers? This is how I would classify:

Really Good
D Brees, Eli Manning, B Roethlisberger, A Rodgers

Proven
M Vick, Phil Rivers, Matt Ryan, Alex Smith (close call)

Unproven Level A
A Luck, RG3, S Bradford, Russ Wilson, C Kaepernick, C Newton, A Dalton

Unproven Level B
T Tebow, B Weeden

Unproven Level C
Kellen Moore, C Keenum, Chase Daniel, G Harrell

Meh/no-go
C Weinke, V Young, M Leinart, C McCoy, Pat White, J Heupel, Ken Dorsey, C Leak,Brad Smith (played some wildcat, WR), E Crouch, Troy Smith, David Greene, Joe Hamilton, Randle El (no-go as a QB), Dan LeFevour, Todd Reesing, Chad Pennington, Jason White (never made squad, btw), Joey Harrington, Brian Johnson (never signed)

Colt McCoy is still in the league as a backup. Not sure why you think he's a no-go, he's as unproven as any others you have listed. He's been in the league 3 years, had 2 different HCs and two different offenses.......and was never drafted to be a starter.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Tyrod could be in your ULC group. he has cemented the backup spot in Baltimore and even gets in for a package or two now and then. He may get his shot at some point.

 

[starbigd]

I just noticed, but I didn't see Dennis Dixon on the list anywhere.

Also, this list is actually really good. Kudos to them.

For good reason. He blows.

He was drafted in the 4th round - so obviously he was not expected to be a starter.
