Historical Excellent QB play

[t4pizza]

I just stumbled upon this little tidbit and it surprised me even though I have seen them all and knew what they did. I didn't realize this until I saw the stats, so I thought I would share. We have really been blessed to have excellent QB play continually since 1999 (relative to App State football history). It is crazy to think but every full time starting QB that we have had since 1999 is in the All Time top 9 for passing yards at App State. Until this year that is. It started with Smoking Joe back in 1999-2002 and he ranks 9th all time with 5427 and every full time starter following him up until Joey Aguilar has a place ahead of him all time. It really is an amazing run when you think about it.

It was an exhilarating time to be an ASU football fan. The best era of college football ever for me, by far. So many epic moments.

I realize this is for recent QBs but I'd like to know where Pat Murphy from the 1968 team would rank here, even though only 11 games were allowed back then and it was NAIA. I've heard many players, coaches, and fans from that era say that the 1968 team was good enough to score from anywhere on the field in one play.

Wasn’t Pressley a QB for the season after Armanti?

You are correct. I was just being lazy and going by the years mentioned and Jamal said from 2010-2013 so I thought it was continual. But you are right, Pressley started all of 2010 (except 1 game and a few games of 2011 before Jamal took over the starting role. So it isn't as impressive, but still every full time starter except Pressley since 1999 is in the top 9 is still impressive.

I still think DP got a bad concussion on that last play at Georgia Southern when he fumbled to end the game. He had virtually identical stats to Armanti through that game and then fell off a cliff.

Amazing what he did after he switched positions though! Not many players can switch to DB and make it to the NFL.

He also never played at Virginia Tech

How could he, the team never went there during his time. Reports to the contrary are just fake news.
