Really it should come down to:

1. Johnny Moxin

2. Johnny Utah

3. Shane Falco

No particular order

Winchell from Friday Night Lights should get a mention, but Moxin did it well and didn't even care all while having mean ole Bud Kilmer trying to keep him out of Brown.

Ronnie Bass
Junior from Little Giants

Jake Wyler from Not Another Teen Movie
Shane Falco

Ronnie Bass! Good One, forgot about Sunshine. He finally learned that pitch and played both ways.

Paul Crewe?

Even though I don't think he played official CFB, he did in High School.

Jeremy Grey - He was all State and could make it rain.

Lance Harbor - Full ride to FL St. until he hurt his knee...again as we found out

Joe Kane?

Paul Blake?

'nuff said

Ronnie Bass. The rest of the list is null and void

Steamin' Willie Beamen

Kane is Able

It won't apply to OP's original question because it's TV, but Jason Street had potential

Shane Falco is my favorite. I love The Replacements.

Grantland - The Best Fictional QB of All Time

But there's no way the best line delivered by a quarterback in a movie isn't "I don't want your life!" as spoken by Jonathon "Mox" Moxon in Varsity Blues.

MOST REALISTIC-LOOKING QUARTERBACK
Bill: This also has to go to Jamie Foxx's Willie Beamen. I'm convinced the Browns would be better off signing him right now, especially after watching "My Name Is Willie" about 20 times in a row. Could it really be that much worse than Brandon Weeden? Maybe the Colts would get excited and trade them a midround pick and we'd get a music video from Jamie Foxx and Jim Irsay.

Beat me to it

OP, you don't put your own username on the list?

Joe Pendleton - warren Beatty in heaven can wait

Or

Reno Hightower - Kurt russel in best of times

Paul Blake - necessary roughness. Left college for all the right reasons and led the Texas State Armadillos over the movie equivalent of tu.

Burt Reynolds, the Longest Yard

Idiot....that was Adam Sandler.

No love for Joe Pendleton?

can't think of his character's name, but wasn't the character damon wayans played in the last boy scout a former superstar QB?

Troy Aikman, Jerry Maguire

How about Dizzy Flores from Starship Troopers? Commands the huddle, nearly impossible to sack, throws 50yd touchdowns.

Levander "Bird" Williams - Wildcats
Bobby Boucher when he lined up for direct snap / fake FG
Johnny Walker - Johnny Be Good
AC Slater (TV's best), led Bayside to upset victory over Valley

Don't forget Aggie linebacker Everett Smith. He played the quarterback for the all-black team in the championship game in the Friday Night Lights movie.

(Was also a roommate of mine summer '00.)

Easy. Brett Favre in "There's Something About Mary"

Reno Hightower and his white shoes.
