And frankly, I would take Kevin Hogan over Steve Stenstrom any day of the week. Sure, Stenstrom was the more accurate passer but Hogan was a better college QB.

Steve Stenstrom’s career completion percentage was 63.1%.  That’s very good, but it doesn’t make him more accurate than Hogan, who had a career completion percentage of 65.9%. Hogan also had a better yards per attempt (8.5) than Stenstrom (7.8), and a marginally lower interception rate (2.6% compared to Stenstrom’s 2.7%).

To be fair, they competed in different eras, but I just don’t think it is accurate to say that Stenstrom is the more accurate quarterback, at least by standard metrics of accuracy.

Hogan continues to be the most underrated quarterback in Stanford history.

I'm right there with you, BC. Hogan is the winningest QB in Stanford history. We saw him win games with his arm. We saw him win games with his legs. We saw him win games with his poise. Isn't that enough for folks?

BC / Spiny - Look I completely agree with you guys. I was just taking Hogan out of the list because of Snorlax's comment. I will say from an "old school / traditional drop back quarterback perspective", Stenstrom fits that mold better than Hogan. And if you were to switch eras, I think Stenstrom's completion percentage would be higher than Hogan's. However, quarterback play is so much more than that, especially today and, I repeat, I would take Hogan over Stenstrom every day of the week. 

But my overall point is that every program has struggled to string together a run of good quarterbacks unless anyone can think of a school that did have that run of QBs this century (Mick's list of Stanford QBs in the 70s and 80s is pretty great). It just isn't easy to do (and probably harder now with the portal / NIL when a good QB won't want to sit for 2 - 3 years to wait for their turn to start... And I also don't blame them)
