Saw that. Baker #1 seems very odd to me, they even say "Newton, Young, and Burrow had the best seasons (debatable as I would put Tebow's 2008 against anyone but I get it), Mayfield had the best career." He had better careers than those guys, but he didn't have (nearly) as good a career as Tebow. They're even kind enough to put the stats right there to prove it. There's also the whole 2-0 in the most important stat (natty), but I digress. For a season I'd take Burrow then Newton then Tebow. For a game I'd take Young in the Rose Bowl. I really don't see the discussion if the criterion is really best all around career, but it's damn sure not Baker Mayfield.

I don't have an ESPN Insider subscription, so I'll just assume the article did not include current players. This is one more accolade Mertz could have received had he bolted for the NFL. Luckily for us, he is back for unfinished business and will certainly surpass Trask when the next list is published. Man, I would hate to be on the committee that decides which #15 gets retired down the road. On a serious note, imagine how much higher Grossman would have been had he not been subjected to Zook's prevent offense his junior year. In retrospect things must have been really bad behind the scenes for Spurrier to walk away from that team when he did. They lost Caldwell and Gaffney, but still had a ton of returning/incoming talent and Grossman throwing the ball. |

Any list that has Tebow at QB4 of the 00’s is not to be taken seriously. The guy is arguably the greatest college player of all time. I’m not saying he’s a lock, but I could make a convincing argument for it and I’m not even good at arguing.
