Are you trying to prove my point for me or something? I count 13 QBs on that list and at least 10 of them were/are complete NFL failures.
But I would only consider Detmer and Ware to be 'system' quarterbacks where their passing numbers get radically inflated. Most all were balanced offense quarterbacks on winning teams and Couch, Newton and Troy Smith mostly made it on their running ability. (Why can I remember nothing about Jason White?) The best bet seems to be a QB with a shot at a National Championship, which obviously Case Keenum does not have. If I were betting this prop I would split my money on Luck, Jones and Moore,

Damn that **** was legit. NFL linebackers don't bounce off you quite like that though, do they Ron Dayne?
Jordan Jefferson of LSU ??? tons of weapons on the Offense ---but seems like its too tough a schedule to go undefeated, just hope he learns how to manage games bit better + step up with few more passing TD's (cause he is mostly a running QB). <iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/11rsliXbO-E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

impressive run but he really only broke two tackles. Richardson's was far more impressive. I really think that it'll come down between Richardson and luck. People will now see how good Trent really is when he's the starting/full time running back. Fear the Trent!
this is around the same time in 2009 when Ingram started to make his run for the Heisman. It's Trent's turn now.
