I did some research on college passing records and came up with this list of the top 10 quarterbacks in NCAA history in terms of passing yards:

1. Timmy Chang, Hawaii (2000-04)
2. Graham Harrell, Texas Tech (2005-08)
3. Ty Detmer, BYU (1988-91)
4. Colt Brennan, Hawaii (2005-07)
5. Case Keenum, Houston (2007-Present)
6. Philip Rivers, North Carolina State (2000-03)
7. Colt McCoy, Texas (2004-08)
8. Kevin Kolb, Houston (2003-06)
9. Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan (2006-09)
10. Tim Rattay, Louisiana Tech (1997-99)

Most of these guys never played more than a handful of games in the NFL, and most of those who have filled starting roles have been mediocre at best.

Names like Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, John Elway, Jim Kelly, Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Warren Moon and Brett Favre are nowhere to be seen on that list. That's not a coincidence.

Of your list, Rivers has performed the best..........and he throws a lot of passes side-armed..........

the top 10 quarterbacks in NCAA history in terms of passing yards:

Passing yards won't tell you anything about how good a QB anyone was in college, or what their pro potential was because the balance of run and pass has varied so greatly over the years at different schools.

I can think of three old Alabama QBs who wouldn't be anywhere near that list: Bart Starr, Joe Namath and Snake Stabler.
