Does Reggie McNeal get any consideration for A&M on the QB list?

I recall thinking he was quite an athlete with a lot of great moments, but I don't know where his stats and record would put him.

I think Kellen Mond was a terribly underrated QB for them.  If he'd ever had a decent o-line he would have been a major threat IMO.

VY and Colt seem like the obvious top 2 for UT, but I don't know how much recency bias that might entail. 

Can a case be made for any QB's of previous eras that they were as good for their time as the two above were?  Seems like a longshot.

James Street was 20-0 as a starter and won the '69 national championship.  You might remember his son Huston Street better, talented closing pitcher and national championship winner plus CWS MVP for the 2002 Longhorns baseball team.

And then there's Bobby Layne from longhorn320's leather helmet days... :)

I added Shedeur Sanders to CU's all-time team in my WN game.  He replaced Montez, who was in the 2000s and I don't recall, lol. 
.
I'm looking at Arkansas and KJ Jefferson.  He's probably their best QB of all-time statistically, but left after 5 years to whimper away at UCF.  5 games and benched.  Not a great way to finish your college career.
But Arkansas' all-time team has Ryan Mallett, Tyler Wilson, Matt Jones, and Quinn Grovey.  Jones was tall and mobile, going to the NFL as a WR.  I'd like to keep Grovey on the team as an option...option at QB.  But Jefferson needs a spot.
.
Other than that, Abdul Carter is in the top 5 sack leaders for Penn State, so he's on their all-time team. 
If any of yous guys are aware of a very recent player breaking into the top 5 of rushing, receiving, sacks, or INTs all-time, or as a top QB for a program, please let me know.  I should devote time to this, but I'm still busy producing orders, playing catch-up.
.
I also created 2 new all-time teams, Arizona State and VA Tech. 
ASU has Danny White, Jake Plummer, Rudy Carpenter, and Van Raapshorst at QB.  Skattebo is one of their RBs.
VT has Vick, Tyrod Taylor, Bryan Randall, and Don Strock.
All things being similar, I opt towards a diversity of eras and include an option/running QB when possible. 

I made my own thread on this that I'll probably update here and there.  If I ever get caught up on orders. 

Who do you have for IU?

RBs I remember from my time in college, feels like all of them were great because they regularly trashed the Longhorns.  Maybe my team was just that crappy, but...

Rodney Thomas
Greg Hill
Leland McElroy

More recently Ja'Mar Toombs.  He was a big dude.

And then of course the supremely talented TE Martellus Bennett.  He really hated UT as I recall. 
Those guys were indeed great football players. Not sure if they’d make the all/time list though.

Well duh…Chris Sims !  

On a serious note, Major Applewhite was a helluva player. Not sure how the stats stack-up.

gotta go with Kenny Bell for "The Block" and the hair
Westy had the best hands in Husker history
Oh, yeah - "Fear the Fro", lol.  He always reminded me of Randy Moss the way his hair would explode when he took off his helmet.  I had almost forgotten about "The Block" as the memory of that game really hurts.

Does Vanderbilt get one? 

I'd be curious to see how many of those guys I'd know and how many I'd have to look up. 
I've only created 40 so far.  No Vandy.  No IU.

A&M

QB JFF obviously. Tannehill. After that pretty steep drop.
RB Achane from a few years ago was pretty good. John David Crow from 1950’s won the heisman. Dante Hall.  Not sure who else is in that list.

WR Mike Evans
Manziel, Tannehill, Murray, Mond
