Sorry this took so long. Still struggling through the hangover of a brutal loss. Garizzalies requested during the Elite Griz QB thread that someone come up with a list of the best rushing QB’s in Griz history. Well I took the challenge but could only find complete numbers back to ‘93. If someone could come up with an all time list, I’d wager Wild Bill Kelly would be at the top but here’s a “modern day” list anyway. Here’s my top 5 list in season and career for QB’s all the way back to Dave, minus his Fr year cus those numbers are not findable online.
