Here's some data I just played with from ncaa.org.
I took the data they had on player passing efficiency 2000 to 2009. They take the top 100. So you're missing anyone that didn't make the top 100, but I think it's pretty much everyone. They include anyone with 15 pass attempts per game and played 75% of team's games. The lowest rated usually are around 100. No BYU QB's ever been below that for a season. But there could be some data missing at the bottom that could change these results.
89 freshman in the dataset for avg pass rating of 123.8.
216 soph's for 127.7.
300 jr for 129.2
293 seniors for 134.2
The following QB's were in the dataset for all four years.
Averages were 125.4, 127.5, 131.3, 136.4
Max Hall from soph to senior: 137.7, 157.2, 160.1
My thoughts on this is the expectation for a QB to improve from year to year should be modest not drastic. Beck definitely did improve significantly each year, but he is more the exception than the rule.
