JMO as an old guy - I don't know how anybody can rank QB's at UT other than PM being the one guy at the top. Then the other top guys either had personal physical, teammate talent, or coaching system limitations. Tee benefitted from a huge talent advantage and proven system from Cut, but he was a winner and a leader. Talent wise the #2 IMO was clearly Heath. Combo runner with a bit of both Dobbs and Tebow with far better arm and ability to read coverages. Would absolutely kill it in today's game with the RPO/zone read stuff. Which would have made him a better version of Nick Foles in the pro game. Clausen was the next as a pure pro style and leader. Won some really big games, but his lack mobility prevented the team from getting to the very top with the talent around him. Kelly played well above the roster talent and lifted the team on his shoulders, but could get erratic at times. Tony Robinson before the drugs messed him up was probably the most talented QB in UT history. Condredge was amazing with what he did and how he did it with the lesser talent he play with. He lifted the team on his shoulders as well. Made for the RPO, but it would not translate well into today's NFL as his arm strength was suspect.
Back to Navy. Having Helton and Pruitt making a point of going to his SP tells me they like what they see as a potential fit for this O. So I am all in for this legacy.
