Dola - while WSU has gained some noteriety for producing NFL QB's, Washington has actually produced more and without as much fanfare. Every primary starting QB at the UW since 1979 has gone on to play in the NFL:

Tom Flick
Steve Pelluer
Hugh Millen
Chris Chandler
Cary Conklin
Mark Brunell
Billy Joe Hobert
Damon Huard
Brock Huard
Marques Tuiasosopo
(Cody Pickett will join this list shortly)

Under Don James, Washington ran a pro-style offense and recruited prototype NFL-style QB's - big tall guys with great arms, and success bred success in terms of recruiting these guys. The UW was also helped by the fact most of these guys were local and were easy sells for the Huskies - of the above list, only Mark Brunell and Cody Pickett didn't come from a Washington H.S.
