Chris Leak is really over looked imo. Dude was solid QB for years who won a National Title.
Scratch that, he’s not in this decade, Miss read the thread title.

I'd definitely have Connor Shaw over Coker.
For Alabama I'd say Blake Sims easily over Coker.

Andre Woodson, even though it stretches back.

I'll throw Aaron Murray out there. He gets knocked by rival posters saying he couldn't win big games.

Stephen Garcia
He’s a one hit wonder, but his one hit was wonderful

I agree with Shaw being the consensus, but I can't sleep on what Dylan Thompson was able to do as a back up and as his single year as starter.
He followed up the ECU, Clemson, and Michigan games as backup with completing 60% of his passes for 3500 yards, 26 TDs, and 11 picks as a starter. Unfortunately we had the worse defense in the country that year which wound up being Spurrier's last full season as our HC.
Shaw and Thompson epitomized what Spurrier could do with QB potential. Damn I miss that guy.

You could do this by team
Alabama: Blake Simms. He gets dinged for not winning a title but he had a pretty terrific year in 2014.
Arkansas: Tyler Wilson. Put up big stats on that 2011 team that won 11 games. There are only two Arkansas QBs worth a damn this decade, anyway -- Wilson and Brandon Allen.
Auburn: Jarrett Stidham. People will say Marshall, but I think Marshall honestly gets his due. Stidham has been the only other QB worth a damn since Cam.
Florida: No one. Trask will be the first QB we've recruited from high school to finish his career with the program since John Brantley. Thanks Champ and Mac.
Georgia: Jake Fromm. Everyone respects Murray. UGA has honestly had some decent luck at QB, getting decent seasons out of Hutson Mason and Greyson Lambert. Their worst QB season was probably Eason's freshman year. But Fromm is one of their most accomplished QBs in history and is getting shite on out the door.
Kentucky: Terry Wilson. He beat UF. If he's healthy in 2020 UK will be decent.
LSU: Danny Etling. People will say Mett, but I don't think Mett is underrated. Etling was solidly mediocre before Burrow.
Missouri: James Franklin. He led those Mizzou teams that won the East and was generally a very solid guy
Mississippi State: Tyler Russell. Idk, I was looking for a non-Dak name and he was solid in 2012.
Ole Miss: Bo Wallace. Ole Miss fans love them some Chad Kelly but Wallace was more reliable.
South Carolina: Connor Shaw. Probably the winner of this thread.
Tennessee: Josh Dobbs. 39 total TDs in 2016, only UT QB to beat UF since 2004.
Texas A&M: Kyle Allen. He's known for beating out Kyler but Allen wasn't that bad, either.
Vanderbilt: Jordan Rogers. Idk, he led those decent James Franklin teams. Not many options here. Kyle Shurmer, I guess.
Alabama: Blake Simms. He gets dinged for not winning a title but he had a pretty terrific year in 2014.

Also...who doesn't love this touchdown pass?
I knew you were talking about the Iron Bowl when you said this. It was a nice play for sure. Unfortunately for him he was pegged as a game manager even though some of his teammates called him Vanilla Vick.

Josh Dobbs. He singlehandedly won games for us and did it behind the 117th ranked offensive line in the country. Beat Florida for the first time in forever. Beat UGA twice once with 440 tot yards and 5tds, and once with a Hail Mary. One of few players to have a game with 300 passing and 100 rushing. Bought butch jones at least 2 extra seasons. It’s not like we were worldbeaters when he was there, but when he left we crumbled.

That QB from Ole Miss that replaced Shea Patterson. Ta'mu I think his name is. I really liked his game.

Brandon Allen, Arkansas went to complete dog shite after he graduated.

Underrated going into the season, has to be Joe Burrow. Nobody (other than Buckeye Jeaux on the Rant, and I still think he was trolling) saw THAT coming.
Underrated after the fact, Conner Shaw gets my vote. Amazing career.
Just to stir the pot... how about this mystery guy?
24-8 record as a starter.
398 for 678 passing, 4733 yds, 34 TDs, 359 rushes for 1018 yds and 12 TDs. Started 4 bowls, was offensive MVP in his first bowl. Led his team to 2 wins over Alabama.
Ranks 5th in school history for wins, passing TDs, rushing TDs, and 6th in passing yds, completion percentage, attempts and completions. Led his team to an SEC championship and a national title game appearance.
Doesn't sound bad; betcha can't guess who
