ESPN Top College QBs 2000s

Just the current or past MWC team QB's:

14. Kellen Moore, Boise State
Years: 2008-11
Stats: 14,667 passing yards, 70% completion rate, 142 TD, 28 INT, 3 rushing TD

50-3. Fifty and three! That was Boise State's record with Moore behind center. The Broncos went 6-0 against power conference teams, and two of their three losses were to teams with QBs on this list (Kaepernick's Nevada, Dalton's TCU). Ruthlessly efficient for four straight years.

29. Colin Kaepernick, Nevada
Years: 2007-10
Stats: 10,098 passing yards, 58% completion rate, 82 TD, 24 INT, 4,112 rushing yards, 59 rushing TD

It takes the perfect quarterback to fully understand the potential of a given offensive system, and Kaepernick was the perfect muse for Chris Ault's revolutionary Pistol. As a senior, he threw for 3,022 yards, rushed for 1,206 and led the Pack to 13 wins and No. 11 in the AP poll.

37. Alex Smith, Utah
Years: 2002-04
Stats: 5,203 passing yards, 66% completion rate, 47 TD, 8 INT, 1,072 rushing yards, 15 rushing TD

Smith was a steady, safe option for a defense-heavy Utah team in 2003, but in 2004 he became the perfect vessel for the Urban Meyer offense, leading the Utes to an unbeaten season, finishing fourth in the Heisman voting and flashing enough potential to go No. 1 in the 2005 draft.

39. Colt Brennan, Hawaii
Years: 2005-07
Stats: 14,193 passing yards, 70% completion rate, 131 TD, 42 INT, 15 rushing TD

Few QB-coach combos have been as perfect as that of Brennan and run-and-shoot commander June Jones. Hawaii scored 40+ points 24 times over Brennan's three years and rode a 12-0 start to a Sugar Bowl bid and third-place Heisman finish in 2007.

49. David Carr, Fresno State
Years: 1997-2001
Stats: 7,458 passing yards, 63% completion rate, 65 TD, 22 INT, 9 rushing TD

The 2001 Fresno State team captured the imagination like few mid-majors can, rolling to a 6-0 start with wins over Colorado, Oregon State and Wisconsin. They finished with 11 wins, and Carr was impressive enough to go No. 1 in the 2002 NFL draft.

59. Andy Dalton, TCU
Years: 2007-10
Stats: 10,314 passing yards, 62% completion rate, 71 TD, 30 INT, 1,611 rushing yards, 22 rushing TD

Both Dalton and the Horned Frogs improved incrementally throughout his career, going 11-2, then 12-1 then 13-0, with the program's lone Rose Bowl win, in his last three seasons.

umm...I included all the WAC/MWC QBs. :shrug:

My bad, 

But you said "just the current or past MWC team QB's:"   There's a couple of ways of reading that.

If Kaep had gone to Boise like he should have, he would have been the best #3 WR in the Nation.

Joking aside, this is an impressive list.

Kap and Colt were the most electrifying qbs on that list. I think people sometimes forget just how insane those offenses were with colt at the helm.

Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention.

Quite a few MWC/WAC QBs on the list.  But the best two MWC QBs in terms of what they meant to their teams were left off IMO.  
 

My list: Bradlee Van Pelt, Josh Allen

Please use appropriate titles when speaking of one “Saint Josh Allen” 

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

System QBs.

 

 

Except that Kap went to the NFL and was a decent QB there in a different system. :shrug:

And they were the perfect qbs for those systems.
