He also produced the dud (#1 pick) from LSU. As much as we all want to disparage Jimbo and more so, FSU....the fact is the guy can coach QBs. In fact, he's arguably the best QB coach in college football (numbers don't lie). I hate the guy, but he's produced very productive COLLEGE QBs. And because those college QBs play at a high-level P5 school they tend to be top NFL prospects. Sure, 3 of his 4 1st rounders have been duds....once they leave school they are no longer "his", they belong to their new coach - the NFL coach.
My point is this thread is stupid. Talking sh*t about Fisher's QBs? That's just stupid. He beat us w/ McGuire and a redshirt freshman twice (last year - and Jameis). He's an *******, but he has a proven track record of developing QBs. Period. You can't argue it. The kid he has there now (Francios?) looks like he's going to be a good one too. Dammit.
Other than Jameis whom has really made an impact on the College football landscape?
Winston 66% 7964 yards 65/28 over 2 years (notice how in two years he has better status than anyone else?)
FSU:
Everett Golson 67.1% 1778 yards 11/3 (1 year under Fisher)
Sean Maguire 57.9% 2039 yards 16/11 ints over 4 years
Christian Ponder 61.5% 6872 yards 49/30 over 4 years (2717 is a one season high)
EJ Manuel 66.9% 7741 yards 47/28 over 4 years (3397 season high)
Francois 58.8% 3350 yards 20/7 (too early to tell)
LSU:
Josh Booty 50% 2121 yards 17/15 (1 year under Fisher)
Rohan Davey 59.9% 3924 yards 25/11 (2 years under Fisher)
Matt Mauck 58.6% 3831 yards 37/18 (3 years under Fisher)
Marcus Randall 56.1% 2854 yards 18/12 (4 years under Fisher)
Jamarcus Russell 61.9% 6625 yards 52/21 (3 years under Fisher [3129 biggest season])
Matt Flynn 53.8% 689 yards 10/2 (3 years under Fisher [took over starter the following season])
Your right numbers don't lie, he has had a bunch of guys, which you are making sound better than they were. He was able to get NFL teams to take his quarterbacks in bad quarterback drafts (except Jameis which was a decent QB draft). Are you saying that he is one of the top college producers of quarterbacks, take a look at the stats of most of his quarterbacks.
As far as he beat us with X, Spurrier beat us with a 3rd string quarterback at South Carolina... when you opponent can't get out of their own way (hell we even blocked ourselves in two of those years), and you are the superior talented team, which has been the case since probably 2010.. then you should win.
