    Not surprised we're first but the lead is bigger than I would have guessed.

    21 of 46 for 204? From what i can gather, that's 4 games worth of passing for an elite qb like Tebow.

    That graphic tells a lot. Vandy only has 1 QB in the NFL but he has more starts that Rex Grossman and Steve Spurrier combined (the two top Florida QBs). At the time this was compiled, Peyton was only 13 starts behind Elway and only 22 behind Marino, the only two with more starts. However, our distant second is Heath Shuler with only 22 starts.

    I know Purdue had a lot of great QB's but I am surprised that they are #1 by such a big margin. I'm even more surprised though that Washington is #2.
