Truly who was the last SEC QB to be successful in the NFL?

Not counting Grossman because you simply can't, P. Manning and E. Manning are about it. After that, you have to go back to Stabler, Nameth, and Tarkenton. Although David Woodley did go to a SB somewhere inbetween there, but he's essentially the same as Grossman 25 years ago.

Although technically, you could toss Hines Ward in the mix!

Stafford MIGHT be good if his shoulders can hold together more than 5 minutes.

Someone said Satfford's head is too big to be great QB. I dunno.

You know, I've always thought Jason Campbell could have been good, too, if the Redskins hadn't ruined him.

Newton will be really good in 2-3 years. He's nothing like Vince Young, despite the possible characters concerns from incidents in college, he's not a headcase like Young. He has an incredible work ethic. I think he will succeed after some growing pains.

Hopefully this year shellshocks him into never developing. If they want to throw him out to early, I hope they pay for it by never developing his potential talent (which I feel was not much).

With the injuries Stafford have suffered, I don't know. If he can stay injury-free and tone down on the arrogance (rumor I've heard), then he should be fine. DET wanted me to be their Matt Ryan when they drafted him. It's funny how rookie QBs coming in after Ryan were compared to him.
