Was Carter Stanley an all-time great at Kansas?
Don’t laugh, it’s a serious question.
Consider - Stanley started just 21 games in his Kansas career (2016-19). He ranks fifth all-time at KU in passing yards, second all-time in touchdown passes, sixth in completion percentage (minimum 100 attempts), fourth in pass attempts, and third in total completions. He beat Texas as a redshirt freshman, then nearly did it again as a senior. And to top it all off, he owns the third-longest pass in school history at 95 yards (2016 vs KSU).
If you just go by the numbers, yeah, it looks like Stanley should definitely be considered a top-10 quarterback in school history, but of course, that’s not exactly a tough group to get into, especially with the way offenses throw the ball around these days.
