Is The Big 12 a QB Heaven?

The Big 12 is a QB heaven. It is home to the Heisman Trophy winner, Sam Bradford.  Colt McCoy has had a record-setting season, completing 77 percent of his passes. Graham Harrell has thrown for more yards than almost anyone...ever. 

And they still have Chase Daniel (4135 passing yards) of Missouri, Oklahoma State's Zac Robinson (10 yards per attempt and a QB rating of 178), and Todd Reesing (3575 passing yards) from Kansas. 

In this conference, six quarterbacks have thrown for more than 3,330 yards, three of which have broken the 4,000 mark.  One of them will more than likely break the 5,000 yard mark in his bowl game. 

So, yes, the Big 12 is the place to be if your playing QB. 

Are we watching the best quarterbacks to play in college at the same time since 1983 (Marino, Kelly, Elway)?  Or are we watching average QBs strive because of sub-par defenses? 

Consider which of these is more responsible for the Big 12's gaudy offensive numbers: 1.) having all these QBs playing in the same conference, at the same time, or 2.) the fact that the defenses in this conference seldom show up. 

With the exception of the OU/Texas Tech game, what defense would you want when you need a stop late in the 4th quarter? 

"Yes, Texas, I'm talking about you,"  Sam Bradford said, during his Heisman Trophy acceptance speech.  He said it was a team win because his linemen kept the pressure off of him all season and his receivers were always open.  He went on to say that his 4464 passing yards and 53 total touchdowns (48 passing, 5 rushing) were "fun" and "easy".  He actually used the word "EASY" when describing how he got those stats this season.

So, is the Big 12 QB heaven?  Does it matter if great offenses are playing good defenses, or good offenses are playing bad defenses? They provide us with entertaining, high-scoring, and profitable games.  So does it matter? 

Only if you're USC or Penn St. this year.  So, I ask you again, is the Big 12 a QB heaven?  Yes, yes it is.  But only because it's a secondary HELL!
