Here are the schools that have produced the top 20 QBs in NFL history in terms of overall production for a career (per PFR):
1. Southern Mississippi ...Favre
2. Georgia...Tarkenton
3. Tennessee...P. Manning
4. Pitt...Marino
5. Louisville...Unitas
6. Stanford...Elway
7. Michigan...Brady
8. Kentucky...Blanda
9. BYU...Young
10. Washington...Moon
11. Notre Dame...Montana
12. Augustana...Ken Anderson
13. Purdue...Brees
14. Oregon...Van Brocklin Fouts
15. Purdue...Dawson
16. Kansas....Hadl

18. Miami....Testaverde
19. Purdue...Griese
20. LSU...Tittle
Purdue with 3 is only school with more than one.
Sorry PFR- Fouts rates. Make the 2 Oregon quarterbacks. LOL, means we should draft Mariotta. Bridgewater is from Louisville. Kentucky may have produced Blanda but they also gave us Tim Couch.

Understand that the PFR Career average stat has a great deal to do with longevity. It is a function of gross statistics quite a bit.
A Vinny Testaverde who played a long time will have a higher career averag than say Bernie Kosar in his prime...but whose career was cut short. Vinny was not the QB that Bernie was. It is like saying: who had the more productive pitching career, Jim Kaat who played until 45 years old, or Sandy Koufax who was done at about age 30.
Kaat has by far more wins/strikeouts etc. etc.....but who really was the better pitcher?

Well yes, the same can be said about NFL quarterbacks-.Vinnie T. put up some big numbers due to longevity- I doubt he'll ever make the HOF, because when you come right down to it, he was a pretty mediocre quarterback who lasted a long time.
OTOH- Fouts played 15 seasons in the NFL- plenty long enough in my book, and was definitely not mediocre.

And he IS in the HOF....so the world agrees with you.

I'll bite... How did Starr win 5 National championships???
Maybe getting that guy from Alabama, AJ McCarron wouldn't be a bad idea considering the championship pedigree of Alabama QBs?
Works for me... (nothing new there).
Kentucky may have produced Blanda but they also gave us Tim Couch.
... and Purdue gave us Phipps...
Another trade up that lives in infamy...

Professional Football Championships These can include NFL Championship games...AFL Championship Games, AAFC Championship games, SuperBowl Championship games.

Well, you could say that for every school on the list probably:
LSU gave us Tittle.....and Jamarcus Russell.
Oregon gave us Van Brocklin....and Joey Harrington and Akili Smith
Notre Dame gave us Montana and Theissmann.....and Brady Quinn...and Tommy O'Connell (took over for OG..and did a bad job)....and George Ratterman.
Texas gave us Bobby Layne....and Colt McCoy (if we are sticking with the theme of failed Browns QBs)
La. Tech gave us Terry Bradshaw...and Luke McCown
BYU gave us Ty Detmer
But note: Purdue gave us Phipps....but it also gave Gary Danielson.
USC gave us Bill Nelsen.....and Paul McDonald
And note this......for all its prowess as a QB school....Miami Fla. has never produced QB to win a Pro title....but Miami OH. has!
