Outside of the Mannings, can you name an SEC QB in the past 10 years worth a damn? Every can't miss prospect from the SEC at QB actually does seem to miss. Mallet flamed out, Harrington, Stafford has never matched the hype or led the Lions anywhere, Cam Newton is vastly over rated.

I follow the trends, I am not loyal to any one school, conference or prospect, but I will say that I do not see the hype of Joe Burrow. He is having a great season, cool, so did many an SEC QB before him who looked just as good...and they aren't in the NFL now.

This is pointless though, you kids are set on Burrow, cool hopefully the front office does what it normally does and ignores most of the fans, because in the long run, we'll be better for it.

Here are all of the QBs drafted in the SEC, since 2009 (note; Harrington went to Oregon):

2009:

- Stafford (underrated, great arm, surrounded by a shit team his entire career; only truly bad year was his rookie year).
- Stephen McGee (backup; always was, always will be, though has decent numbers in limited play).

2010:

- Tebow (despite how poor he really was, he won games lol and has more TDs than picks).
- Johnathon Crompton (no idea who he is).

2011:

- Cam (as much as I loathe him, he is one of the best players of the decade and has accomplished everything, aside from a championship).
- Gabbert (bust. Plain and simple).
- Mallet (not great).
- McElroy (Was always a backup and we knew it).

2012:

- Tannehill (not bad at all, especially seeing as how well he's playing outside of Miami).

2013:

- Tyler Wilson (who knows what happened to him; injury or what, we aren't sure).

2014:

- Manziel (Bust. Plain and simple).
- Aaron Murray (never made the grade).
- Macaroni (a good backup, middling to poor starter)
- Mettenberger (had all the tools in terms of arm talent, couldn't do anything with it)

2015:

- no one

2016:

- Prescott (inconsistencies aside, he has done VERY well in this league. Yes, I know he has a great line).
- Brandon Allen (playing with a shit team and his first action, he did not badly this year).

2017:

- Josh Dobbs (hasn't really been given a chance. Still think he'll be a good backup).
- Chad Kelly (loser).

2018:

- Danny Etling (no clue what's up with him).

2019:

- Drew Lock (looks great so far).
- Jarred Stidham (backup and always will be).

So looking at this list, there are definitely more poor ones than there are great ones, but the great ones are VERY good.

The Big 12 pales in comparison, for example, though they have more, "starters," than the SEC.
