Prediction:
5 Jordan
4 Whitehurst
3 Boyd
2 Lawrence (maybe Watson)
1 Watson (maybe Lawrence)
Though I could see Fuller sliding into 3 or 4 and knocking out Whitehurst or Boyd. Do you get more points for being a Rhodes Scholar?

I liked Charlie but Fuller was a better Clemson
QB in his era than Charlie was in his. Both good
but Fuller better.

All great qb’s in their time. I guess it’s somewhat fun to do while we’re trying to pass time but I struggle doing it. I have an appreciation for each one of them and a few more.
Rodney Williams did a lot for Clemson football in his time as well. But he did have a lights out defense on his side!

Exactly T Nasty! But as far as favorites go, I hate to leave Dantzler out.

It's difficult to compare the ACC then and now. If Fuller
had grown up in this era, you better believe that he would
be a great QB. He also had a scholly offer from Dean Smith
to play round ball at the UNC. We can only compare them the
way that they handled their time.

1) Watson
2) Lawrence
3) Fuller
4) Jordan
5/6/7) Dantzler/Whitehurst/Boyd in any order!!!

As others have pointed out, Watson and Lawrence are either 1 or 2.
After that, it's got to be Homer Jordan because of national title.
Then, I would go with Boyd and Fuller.
What will be interesting is if Lawrence's team wins another title this season and I believe they will. That would put TL at a clear #1 and then after he is the very first pick in the next NFL draft, the next QB will probably be in the top 3 as well because he is talented. I am not even going to attempt spelling his name.

Asinine to have Jordan at 5! Bogus judgement excuses as well. What the hell does the NFL have to do with College players?! It's simple...
1 Watson
2 Trevor
3 Homer
4 Rodney
5 Whitehurst
Sorry Tajh, not gonna happen!

Not simple if you think it's easy to leave Boyd and Fuller out.

Good point, I was a huge Rodney fan, he had the "It" factor. Boyd made too many bonehead moves, i.e. the interception in the 0310 St. game when everyone else in the building knew it was a run. Fuller was a program changer, after reconsideration... #4 Fuller, #5 Rodney! (The top 3 get there with the nattys, 1 & 2 are likely to flip next year.)

Homer would not have been in my top 5. He played on a great team that probably had more NFL All-Pros than any team at Clemson but Homer just ran the show and did it well. If he is 5, I am not going to like the list because either Rodney Williams, Steve Fuller or Tajh Boyd will be left out. My 5 would be Rodney Williams, Tajh Boyd, Steve Fuller, Trevor Lawrence and of course Deshaun. Of course that leaves out guys like Jimmy Addison, Woody Dantzler and Charlie Whitehurst.

I don't get that line. Trevor and Deshawn are debatable in my opinion. Love them both.

DW4's 3 years is difference today. 2020 may tip it to TL if
Jun 7, 2020, 11:06 AM

it's a good season. Both have 2 NGC appearances and 1 win. They both have a first season when they didn't start full season. 1 more bowl win, ACC title, and win over scar for DW at moment. 2020 should be fun!

Steve Fuller was a far better quarterback than everyone is giving credit. Not putting him in the top three is outrageous. With all due respect to the others on the list, who else was twice named ACC player of the year? Who else was a first round draft pick? Never mind that he was Rhodes scholar, and a great guy who redefined Clemson football. He was quite simply a far better quarterback than everyone other than Deshaun and Trevor. So it goes like this:
1 Watson
2 Lawrence
3 Fuller
4 Boyd
5 Whitehurst
