hmm... virtually every Irish fan's list has Montana as the starter, but he never won All American, never won Unitas, never came close to Heisman. He had a 20-5 record as a starter, so that saying something. Still, not sure his college career warrants it considering the number of QBs who did do those things at Notre Dame. He's in the top three at any other school in the country.
As of right now, I've got Johnny Lujack, John Huarte, and Paul Hornung, though I'm considering moving Beuerlein or Theismann into the three so there's someone people know.
Clausen? I can understand having never heard of Lujack, but Clausen over Mirer or Theismann? Or Quinn for that matter?
Please do, you seem to have some perspective.
