That dominant individual, of course, is Player F. This quarterback:

* Was the most accurate of any of these six passers.
* Dominated the average per attempt category – our favorite number – by better than 1 yard per attempt over the No. 2 player on the list.
* Boasts a passer rating so sky high it defies description, nearly 20 full points better than the No. 2 player on the list.


Elsewhere, Player F was No. 2 in total TD passes – but easily No. 1 in TD pass percentage. Player F threw a TD on 8.9 percent of his pass attempts – easily outpacing Player A, who threw a touchdown on 6.6 percent of his pass attempts.

Finally, Player F protected the ball much better than any of the other quarterbacks on this list. Player F threw an interception on just 1.52 percent of attempts – easily outpacing Player C, who threw an interception on 2.60 percent of attempts. And you know what we've always told you: quarterbacks who throw picks lose games. Quarterbacks who don't throw picks win games.

Dying to know who they are, arentcha? Well, the numbers represent the college career stats of six of the greatest quarterbacks in the modern history of the SEC. Here goes:

*
Player A is Peyton Manning. He played for Tennessee in the SEC and was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1998 draft.
*

Player B is Tim Couch. He played for Kentucky in the SEC and was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1999 draft.
*
Player C is Eli Manning. He played for Ole Miss in the SEC and was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 draft.
*
Player D is JaMarcus Russell. He played for LSU in the SEC and was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft.
*
Player E is Matt Stafford. He played for Georgia in the SEC and was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft.
*
And, finally, Player F is Tim Tebow. He played for Florida and the SEC and will be far from the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft.

I know that truly you are grasping at straws here so as not to start tying bed sheet to the ceiling like most of Denver is doing tonight, but you should throw a couple other names in there like Dorsey, Wuerffel and Leinart who were either similar or better than Quarterback F's statistics. Anyway, we all know the score here and there is no point on rehashing it - you get the point, and you've had a rough enough day as it is.
