In 5 games, D.J.U. had 1,065 yards, four touchdowns, and six interceptions, and could not seem to do anything of note. The California game was the only high point. High expectations put him down at the bottom. Let\u2019s just move on. Not much else needs to be said. Let\u2019s just move on.<\/p>\n
21. Chubba Purdy (2020-21)<\/p>\n
In four games for the Seminoles, just one of which he started, he had just 317 yards, four touchdowns, and one pick. This is basically just a cameo season for him before he went on to play for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Nevada Wolfpack.<\/p>\n
20. Fabian Walker (2002-03, 2005)<\/p>\n
His 2002 Sugar Bowl start wasn\u2019t great. With Chris Rix\u2019s suspension prior to the game versus Georgia, Walker had very little practice time, per head coach Bobby Bowden. He said that he wishes \u201c[he] would\u2019ve had an extra two weeks of practice.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n 19. Luke Kromenhoek (2024)<\/p>\n Melina Myers-Imagn Images<\/p>\n 2024 was a down year, but he did earn a late start against FCS Charleston Southern. Bad situation, but what can you do? His freshman experience puts him higher on my list than DJU simply because he had lower expectations.<\/p>\n 18. Tate Rodemaker (2020-23)<\/p>\n A 2023 emergency starter win at Florida is big. He looked competent when he needed to be. Limited experience in the game holds his rank back, though. I hope he has an excellent 2025 season at FCS Western Carolina<\/a>.<\/p>\n 17. McKenzie Milton (2021)<\/p>\n Alicia Devine\/Tallahassee Democrat \/ USA TODAY NETWORK<\/p>\n McKenzie has perhaps one of the most interesting career arcs in Florida State history. Coming from UCF\u2019s national championship season (yes, it is legitimate), playing at UCF from 2016-18, then suffering a brutal knee injury in 2018, to make an incredible comeback return in 2021 at Florida State is amazing.<\/p>\n 16. Alex Hornibrook (2019)<\/p>\n Playing at Wisconsin from 2016-18, then transferring to Florida State for his senior season, wasn\u2019t the change he was likely going for. His 7 TD-2 INT ratio is tidy, which, to be fair, I can appreciate.<\/p>\n 15. Brock Glenn (2023-24)<\/p>\n Photo by Chris Leduc\/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/p>\n Led us to an ACC title, so I\u2019m okay with putting him above the rest of the backups from the Travis-DJU era. His numbers aren\u2019t the best, but I think the win versus Louisville cements his legacy.<\/p>\n 14. Wyatt Sexton (2003-04)<\/p>\n He actually started more games in 2004 than Chris Rix. An 8 TD-8 interception ratio puts him ahead of Glenn simply on the fact that the numbers are just a smidge more impressive. Just a smidge. He was also a part of the 2003 ACC title roster. Yipee!<\/p>\n I think his numbers put him above the folks we\u2019ve talked about so far. 2,323 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in his career is pretty alright. A 2005 ACC championship bolsters his resume further.<\/p>\n 12. Everett Golson (2015)<\/p>\n Prior to being with the Seminoles, Golson put up two seasons above 2,400 yards at Notre Dame in 2012 and 2014. A 29 touchdown to 14 interception season in the latter year likely had the Seminoles thinking big in the wake of Jameis Winston\u2019s departure. If Florida State had a Hall of Pretty Good, he would be a member. His stats are: 147\/219, 1,778 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions.<\/p>\n 11. Adrian McPherson (2001-02)<\/p>\n Finally, we get to someone who had a decent season starting in more than a few games. While he was still sitting behind Chris Rix, he had good numbers. 98\/192, 1,215 yards, 14 touchdowns to just one career interception. Is he better than Lee and Golson? Perchance. You could make an argument for either being better than the other. He was also a part of that 2002 ACC title team. Adrian, you are in the Hall of Pretty Good.<\/p>\n 10. Sean Maguire (2013-16)<\/p>\n Four years at Florida State, the first person on the list to accomplish this incredible feat. He helped bridge the post-Jameis years as well. He peaked in 2015, going for 112\/189, 11 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. The 2013 national championship puts him ahead of the folks we\u2019ve talked about so far. Welcome to the Hall of Pretty Good.<\/p>\n 9. Deondre Francois (2016-18)<\/p>\n Photo by Mark Brown\/Getty Images<\/p>\n Despite his 2017 injury, his comeback in 2018 was impressive for an era when Florida State football fell off. 36 touchdowns in his career compared to 21 interceptions might seem like a lot, but since he did win the Orange Bowl, I gotta give him a top 10 ranking above Maguire and McPherson. Officially in my Hall of Pretty Good.<\/p>\n 8. Drew Weatherford (2004-08)<\/p>\n A 2005 ACC championship coincided with his starts, and Weatherford, while I don\u2019t think he\u2019s brought up often in Florida State circles, was a genuinely decent quarterback. He did throw a ton of interceptions (32, compared to his 39 touchdowns), but still was on the team back when frequent bowls and titles were prevalent.<\/p>\n 7. James Blackman (2017-20)<\/p>\n Strong seasons in his freshman and junior years are muddied by his sophomore and senior seasons. But he does have the best numbers so far, going for 433\/716, 43 touchdowns, and 26 interceptions, by far the most in any category out of anyone we\u2019ve talked about so far. An Independence Bowl victory, while not a New Year\u2019s Six bowl, is still notable. Hall of Pretty Good inductee.<\/p>\n A 2002 and 2003 ACC Champion, I imagine Rix was a fun quarterback to watch. 575\/1042, 63 touchdowns, and 40 interceptions in his career with 8,390 yards firmly puts him in the Hall of Pretty Good.<\/p>\n 5. Christian Ponder (2007-10)<\/p>\n Photo by Doug Benc\/Getty Images<\/p>\n 3-1 in bowl games, a 49-to-30 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and getting drafted to the NFL in the 1st round is incredible despite the lack of ACC title success. He did win the Atlantic division, and did get them to the title game though! Welcome to the Hall of Pretty Good.<\/p>\n Manuel was a great quarterback. Finishing his career with an ACC title as well as the ACC passing completion percentage title in 2012, Manuel was good enough to go in the first round to the Buffalo Bills. With a career statline of 600\/897, 7,741 yards, 47 touchdowns, and 28 interceptions, the fourth-best QB in Florida State history up to now feels right. Hall of Pretty Good inductee.<\/p>\n 3. Jordan Travis (2019-23)<\/p>\n Photo by John Byrum\/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/p>\n Revolutionized Florida State after a half-decade of mediocrity, an ACC title, 8,715 yards, 66 touchdowns to 20 interceptions, being perhaps the best dual-threat quarterback the Seminoles have ever had, firmly puts him in my top three. And if anyone has him outside their top three, they\u2019re just incorrect. He is the biggest what-if of the top three, because if [THE PLAYOFF INCIDENT THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED] didn\u2019t happen, who knows what could\u2019ve happened. I think he should be in the Florida State Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n Enjoy retirement, legend. Hope to see you coaching sometime.<\/p>\n 2. Jameis Winston (2013-14)<\/p>\n Kirby Lee-Imagn Images<\/p>\n A starter in the 2013 national championship, going 14-0 as a redshirt freshman, being the youngest player to ever win the Heisman trophy at the time, an ACC Champion in both 2013 and 2014, and leading Florida State to 29 straight wins is a lot. Ask any fan, and their number one is probably between Winston and Weinke. 65 touchdowns to 28 interceptions, and 7,964 career yards in an era of Florida State dominance. Well-deserved to put him at number 2. I love Jameis, man. Of course, it goes without saying that he\u2019s in the Hall of Pretty Good by default.<\/p>\n 1. Chris Weinke (1997-2000)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
