Asked AI to remove the worst QB in the group.

Reasoning:
 

Even restricting it strictly to college performance, Tebow is the weakest link in this Murderers’ Row of QBs. Here’s the quick college-only breakdown:

Vince Young (Texas): Rose Bowl hero, led Texas to the 2005 national title, absurd dual-threat production, one of the most electric single seasons ever.

Cam Newton (Auburn): 2010 Heisman + national champion, ridiculous efficiency + rushing dominance (nearly 1,500 rush yards), carried Auburn in a way few have.

Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma): Multiple Big 12 titles, Heisman winner, absurd volume + efficiency over multiple years, one of the best pure college careers statistically.

Joe Burrow (LSU): 2019 was arguably the greatest single season by a college QB ever (5,600+ pass yards, 60 TDs, national title, Heisman). Instant legend.

Tim Tebow (Florida): Incredible leader, two national titles, Heisman winner, tough as nails… but as a pure passer he was the clear step below the rest. Lower efficiency, more game-manager/run-heavy style compared to the elite arm talent and production of the other four.

Tebow’s intangibles and winning were unmatched, but if we’re judging QB play in college (accuracy, arm strength, decision-making, passing production), he’s the odd man out against these four monsters.

I could probably be convinced it's Tebow and not Baker.

Honestly considered that based off full football career. Was just too good in college

In the pros, only Burrows and Mayfield have made it.  In college, probably Vince and Cam were the best because they were great with a good cast around them, but not a spectacular cast.  That LSU team was great pretty much top to bottom.  That leaves Tebow as the worst overall, but I really liked him in college.

forgot to add the last sentence about Tebow

From best to worst (they're all spectacular) I have VY, Cam, Burrow, Tebow, Baker. Cam had the weakest roster out of anyone in the photo so I have him very close to VY as far as talent.

Still wild that Florida had Tim Tebow and Cam Newton on the same team.

And that 2007 Florida recruiting class (Cam Newton) had 10-12 NFL draft picks ... even with all the off the field issues in that class is crazy.

If we're talking their college careers as a whole, it might be Vince. Tebow and Baker were top 5 in Heisman voting for 3 straight years. Burrow had arguably the best QB season we've ever seen and led probably the best offense we've ever seen. Cam Newton had debatably the biggest carry job ever in 2010.

College careers as a whole, Tebow and Baker were a lot more consistent across multiple years while Burrow, Vince, and Cam had insane one year peaks. Like, did Baker ever reach the peaks that Cam, Vince, and Burrow did? Maybe not, but his 3 years as a whole are much more consistent and probably better overall than Vince, Cam, or Burrow's.

Just depends how you look at it I guess.

Yeah I sent this challenge to a friend, and we were discussing whether this means at their peak, or their college careers as a whole (I am completely discounting pro careers).

The highlight of Tebow's career was crying so pathetically after losing to the unranked Mississippi Rebels that the BCS voters took pity and put Florida in the national title game ahead of Texas.

Cam was literally NFL MVP and made it to the superbowl…

My dude, Cam Newton had a successful NFL career that included a Super Bowl start. Cam was not the most efficient passer of the group, but he was a different kind of problem. Add his rushing and he has 38,010 passing plus rushing yards and 269 passing plus rushing TDs.
