We finish with what some argue is the most important position on the field: Quarterback. We’ll give you the names and a very brief synopsis of their career, some of them drawing from the cases our bloggers sent us. You can do the rest. Politicking is encouraged.
SB Nation College Football Hall Of Fame: Brees, Detmer, Frazier, McNair Among Nominees
Vote for a quarterback to include in the SB Nation College Football Hall of Fame. The choices include Drew Brees, Ty Detmer, Tommie Frazier and Steve McNair.

The SB Nation College Football Hall of Fame is a summer project involving all of the network’s excellent college football blogs. Each community could nominate five of its own for inclusion, with 10 of those nominees being inducted by our selection committee, which included reps from most FBS conferences. The remaining 10 will be chosen by public vote Wednesday and Thursday.
