Are all QB's from USC garbage?

Such as?

Hoodie was probably referring to Matt Cassel there...he's a fairly noteworthy exclusion.

Considering the motto for USC as been Running Back U for quite sometime, this is just another useless post by Captain Angsty.
Why not document all the crappy QB's that have come out of any of the Florida schools the last 30+ years, or the Big 10.
Perhaps if USC was ever known as a school that consistently put out QB's( instead of the whole RB U thing) I might buy your "highly researched if unoriginal idea".

Thanks, JTex.  I never thought to google this shit so I appreciate your time in putting this together. 

For some time I've been saying most USC QBs are spoiled with ridiculous talent supporting them.  I knew Leinart was going to be terrible but I didn't know their whole history was full of stinker QBs who never made it in the NFL.  Except Carson but he didn't exactly perform at HOF levels.

That he is.  I'd say next to Carson Palmer, he's neck and neck with Mark Sanchez for the best USC quarterback in the league.  Not that that's saying much.

I think that Carson Palmer is legit and a successful player.  He has had ups and downs, but there was a time that he was considered among the league's best QBs.  But the others, sure -- mostly disappointments.  And yes, while you could take other schools and find similar results, you will be hard pressed to find other schools that have a reputation for sending so many high-level prospects at QB to the NFL.

I think that the jury is still out on Sanchez.  He's not playing very well, but he's still had enough success to stay in the league, starting on the same team.  Perhaps he'll figure it out.

You have to wonder about what might've been had Carson Palmer not suffered that knee injury against Pittsburgh in the playoffs in 2005.  As for Sanchez, coming out as early as he did was a big mistake.  The Jets made a big reach for him and it's proven disastrous.  He's still raw and needs time to develop.

Don't you mean Landshark?

No, he means Tommy, schmuck.  Whoever that may be.

Because none of those places have a reputation for bringing out "NFL ready" QBs, like USC does.  You have to admit, they have very high hype for the QB position in just about every draft of late.

I don't recall any big time QB's coming out of USC who did shit in the pros.  One could argue Carson Palmer but I still think he's average.  (side note my beloved Fighting Irish Quarterbacks haven't done shit in the pros since Joe Montana)

USC = Running Back U. It has been called that for decades. Also I distinctly remember a plethora of highly touted QB's coming out of the Florida schools, and other big programs too.
Over the time frame that he has chosen, USC was not known as a QB school. The last series of QB's has altered the overall perception a little.
But of that list he created 9 of the 20 never even made it into the NFL, this little stat basically nullifies his statement that USC is flooding the NFL with QB's who are not earning their way.  Of the current crop of USC QB's that have been drafted, Leinart is an obvious bust. Sanchez and Palmer are still starting and earning their way in the NFL. Cassel basically evens out Leinart.
