<![CDATA[Best Pro QBs produced by each FBS school]]>In the course of replying to another thread, I started doing this: checking out who were the best Pro QBs that have been produced by various schools. Well, here I will give the data for each FBS school and their best 3 QBs....or at least the power conferences, and perhaps I will do the others as well depending on time. By best I am using the single statistic used by Pro Football Reference and their Career Production average. At least lets say these are the most "productive" QBs in a career, if not best. Lets start with those QBs produced by each school currently in:

The SEC:

Alabama: Joe Namath 94, Ken Stabler 94, Bart Starr 90

Missouri: Babe Laufenberg 4, Steve Pisarkewisc 2, Chase Daniels 1

Georgia: Fran Tarkenton 149, Matt Stafford 44, Zeke Bratkowski 20

Florida: Steve Spurrier 26, Rex Grossman 23, Tim Tebow 12

South Carolina: Anthony Wright 10, Bill Troup 10, Mike Hold 1

Tennessee: Peyton Manning 172, Pat Ryan 13, Bobby Scott 10

Kentucky: George Blanda 95, Babe Parilli 60, Tim Couch 30

Vanderbilt: Jay Cutler 69, Billy Wade 48 (only 2 that registered)

Miss. St.: Joe Reed 12, Bruce Threadgill 3 (only 2 that registered)

Auburn: Cam Newton 49, Jason Campbell 48, Dick Wood 17 (yes....Dick Wood 😊

Ole Miss: Eli Manning 89, Archie Manning 75, John Fourcade 12

Arkansas: Joe Ferguson 80, Tavaris Jackson 21, Lamar Mhan 9

Texas A&M: Ryan Tannehill 20, Ed Hargett 12, Karl Sweetan 9

Go to PFR and look up their methodology of doing this. It seems a highly complex mathematical thing. You are probably better equipped to comprehend it than I am.

Elway has two Super Bowl rings, as does Plunkett. Luck will get his share too. Browns might take a look at Stanford's current quarterback.

How is the rating calculated? I'm surprised at the gap between Brady and Manning being that big.

Statistically, Manning is far and away the best regular season QB ever.
