Found it to be pretty interesting, each state has an argument that they can stake a claim. Unfortunately at ESPN.com some of the biggest idiots post comments that seems to make you continously palm your face and wonder to yourself, “why am I reading this?”

yup...

this is a great point you bring up. Most of the comments I read were asinine at best and were without merit; just thought I would point it out because it has some great debate points on which state is the best at producing top tier QB’s.

Shocking

and none of them went to Texas. Why do we miss on evaluating state QB’s so often and so severely? Why is it that no ones wants to be the QB at UT, are the shoes too big to fill? Talented QB’s should be lining up to play here but they don’t….I don’t get it. Enlighten me.

To be fair, we did just have 8 consecutive years of probably the best QB play in the nation.

And if Kinne hadn’t transferred, we’d still have quality QB play.

Again, it's not necessarily that Texas missed in evaluations

Is it so hard to imagine that Luck and Griffin might’ve turned out to be Gilbert and Chiles if they’d been at Texas? Not that Davis didn’t coach up a really long period of excellent QBs, but there’s a lot of nurture in addition to nature when it comes to whether recruits pan out or not.

I’m pretty sure Luck didn’t consider Texas.

Also, don’t forget Stafford.

Glad Indiana isn't included

We're Texas, We're not OK.

texas and ,cali

Texas. Has more depth but the ones value have are pretty elite even tho there’s not as much.

They should separate the categories.

It’s stupid to say “which state has the best quarterbacks in high school, college, and nfl history combined” when every person values those at different levels of importance
