Tebow only lead one Florida team to the title. Leaks lead the first Florida team to the title that you give credit to Tebow for. Tebow was Leak's backup who did see some action. A little racism here.
I forgot to add that Chris Leaks was the BCS title game's MVP. So much for Tebow getting credit for the Florida title. Tebow's had a great career, but don't give him credit where it's not due. The racism I spoke about previously is not Tebow's. It's his supporters racism. Tebow should openly give Leaks credit for the 2006 season in which Leaks led the Gators to the national championship over my beloved Buckeyes. Someone needs to talk to Tebow before he takes away from his own accomplishments by letting people give him credit where it's not due.
Vince Young, carried a couple of teams to BCS wins. He was unstopable aginst a very good USC D. Rodger Staubach took an armed forces school places they had not been in half a century
Let's see... Drew Brees, Archie Manning, Bernie Kosar, Jim Plunkett, and how about Jim McMahon? There are tons of others - but what mental giants came up with a list that includes Tebow? Or can mention Frazier in the same sentence as quarterback with a straight face? Come on - pick real QBs! You know, guys with the brains and guts to audible, and the drive (and arm) to pull it off.
I guess MA has never heard Tom Osborne talk about Tommie. According to Osborne TF would audible nearly every play and according to Tom he never audible into the wrong play. As for guts, TF played most of his Jr and Sr year with blood clots that could have killed him.
I know I am a husker fan and do not necessarily agree with the list from top to bottom (near term memory here I think) but Tommie definitely deserves on this list. Just watch the bowl game against Florida for your proof and the fact that NO other true freshman could run TO's offense because of the need to audible and read defenses.
All quarterbacks listed by MA are fine but come on..all together they have 1 natl. championship compared to 2 for Frazier and they should have had a 3rd if Nebraska had a kicker in 1993. Frazier was a real quareterback, this list is not who performed great in the NFL after ok college careers, it is greatest college QB.
How can any ONE person be chosen as the best at anything?
Each of your choices are the best for their teams.
Their are so many names that should be included.
Here are a few of my favorites.
Jerry Tagge, Nebraska: back to back National Championships in 1970-71.
3 year record: 33-2-1. Cornelius Green, the Ohio State University, 3 year record: 31-3-1.
Dennis Franklin, University of Michigan, 3 year record: 30-2-1.
What about the QB's of those fantastic Oklahoma teams under coach Bud Wilkinson who
went 114-10-3 (90.9%) and had winning streaks of 47, and 31 games?
So often, we seek instant gratification.
Tebow and the rest are all good, but so are a lot of others.
Wuerfful doesn't even belong in the top 50, much less top 5.
Reggie Collier from Southern Miss! First QB to rush for over 1,000 yards and pass for over 1,000 yards in a single season. Research what Bear Bryant said about him after Southern Miss handed Bama a loss at Bryant-Denny Stadium. USM not on TV then and nobody hardly heard of him, but you had to have seen him play to believe it.
Stan Heath- Nevada- The first quarterback to throw for over 2,000 yards. It took 15 years for someone else to surpass this mark.
