if they had a stronger supporting cast would be candidates for this list, Dick Norman and Trent Edwards.
Yep! Thanks for the Trent love. For what it's worth, Stanford's ten best QBs according to NFL performance (as judged by Career Approximate Value) have been (aside from Frankie Albert as he is too old school for this list):
1. John Elway
2. John Brodie
3. Jim Plunkett
4. Andrew Luck
5. Trent Edwards
5. Steve Dils
7. Turk Schonert
8. Mike Boryla
9. Davis Mills (obviously rising)
10. Steve Stenstrom
Mills has a chance of being top five after this season. Obviously the top four has a massive distance on everybody else.
The NFL Career Value of Andrew Luck is a story of "what might have been..." I feel like he had the potential to rise to the very top of this list, if he had played another 10 years, received some protection, and won one or two Super Bowls. I think all of these accomplishments were well within Luck's reach.
But the dude was way too smart for that - and fortunately for him, he was already a centimillionaire and the proud founder of the Andrew Luck Book Club!
