NFL quality QBs past 20 years
UM's last NFL quality QBs prior to JJ were Henne and Mallett in 2007.
QB is the most important position (arguably) in any sport.
We finally have an NFL quality QB and it's great! We are contenders.
But why over 7 years has Harbaugh not recruited/developed an NCAA champ level QB or NFL caliber QB during his reign?

I will bite. Whether NFL caliber or not, every team needs great college QBs to compete. When the rest of the team tends from good to great, a "good" QB could work as well. Michigan sent all of their starting QBs to NFL between Elvis to Chad, for nearly two decades. These were great college QBs. While Denard, Devin, and Ruddock did well, they were hampered by something around them. Since 2021, the situation seems to have changed again, for the good I believe. And hope.
Cade was a good college QB. And JJ seems, well, a lot of has already been spoken :)

Because it's hard, and rare, at any school. Just off the top of my head, was tOSU successful at developing NFL level QBs? High draft choices but busts in the pros?
