Who do you think is the best quarterback in college football?

[SHOGUN]

Black Jesus

[Leftwich]

I'll go with Case Keenum. He isn't at a high profile college like some of the others and he isn't being drooled over by pro scouts but he gets the job done in Houston.

[longhornfan]

I hope Keenum can break Timmy Changs passing yards record this year. It would help his Heisman candidacy.

[Atlas]

Luck, Ponder and Moore are the most complete QB's... everyone loves Locker, but I want to see a complete season (and a winning one at that) before he is anointed best college QB/pro prospect...

[BrntO4Life]

I hate when people answer without giving any support to their choice

Too bad.

[Woy]

Paul Jones.
























Seriously though, I like Luck or Locker.

[SuperKevin]

I fail for not including a poll but honestly I expected too many different answers to put a poll

[DoubleDeuce]

Kellen Moore by far. Most accurate quarterback I've seen in a long time.

[Chadman]

he fails at passing the ball.

[Sportsbuck]

he used to fail at passing the ball.

Fixed.

[Chadman]

Fixed.

he still fails at passing the ball and reading coverages.

wtf 22 sacks as a sophmore and as a mobile qb? 21 sacks his freshman year. 56.6 completion percentage? 18 tds...11 ints? No more than 300 passing yards in a single game? 7.10 yards per throw? And those little numbers he dose have..is against shit teams.

44.4 completion percentage vs usc
38.5 vs wisconsin
47.1 vs penn state.

Yuck. He still cant pass. If he knows whats best for him..he better stay untill he is a senior if he wants to have a legit shot in the NFL. If not...hes the next black scrambling qb to not do shit...as an actual QB.

if you think that sounds bad..try watching him pass the ball from the pocket and in game. he has no since of timing in the passing game, accuracy, and for being touted for having a big arm..rarely do you see that big arm in action.

1st game-Purdue(7gms): 89/159 (56.0%), 1169 yards, 10 TD, 8 INT; Rushing: 86 attempts, 367 yards (4.3 YPC), 4 TD's
Post-Purdue(6gms): 78/136 (57.4%), 925 yards, 8 TD's, 3 INT; Rushing: 76 attempts, 412 yards (5.4 YPC), 3 TD's

Pryor definately improved as the season went on, culminating in his Rose Bowl performance against Oregon.

44.4 completion percentage vs usc
38.5 vs wisconsin

No doubt, USC game he was a disaster.
Wisconsin was kind of meh, we started off the 2nd half with a pick-6 and KR for a TD and the offense was bascially shut down after that since that gave us a sizeable lead. He didn't really play well, but he didn't really have to at that point.

47.1 vs penn state.

Pryor actually had 2 bubble screens that were counted as runs... not that it really makes much of a difference only bringing it up to 52%.

Yuck. He still cant pass. If he knows whats best for him..he better stay untill he is a senior if he wants to have a legit shot in the NFL. If not...hes the next black scrambling qb to not do shit...as an actual QB.

Unless he develops into the second coming of Peyton Manning next year he'll be a four year player.

Did you even watch the Rose Bowl? Pryor was a completely different QB, that was painfully obvious for all to see, against a defense ranked in the top 25 in the nation in passing efficiency. He was reading defenses much better, hitting Saine up the sideline against a Cover 2, throwing a dart to Posey right as he made his cut on a slant against a cover 2 inside the corner, multiple backshoulder fades to Posey against tight man to man coverage, etc., finding Dane right away against a 0 blitz, I could go on.

The biggest difference with Pryor as the season wore on was a schmatic one from JT and the staff. Early in the year he really didn't have a running game backing him up, and for the most part our "running" game consisted of zone reads with Pryor out of the gun, and then there was the Purdue disaster. After that, JT went to a much more pro-style attack, and gave Pryor that running game he needed (We put up over 200 yards on the ground against such stout defenses as Penn State and Iowa), allowing him to grow as a passer as the defenses couldn't key on him completely. The bowl practices is where he grew the most though... the difference from the USC game to Penn State or Iowa was already significant, but it was night and day from Michigan to the Rose Bowl.

He had a great spring. We return 9 starters on offense (It's basically 10 since Mike Adams started 3-4 games last year). The only player of any significance we lose is Jake Ballard, and Jake Stoneburner is an upgrade in the passing game at TE over him (Although we are losing something in terms of blocking). His top 2 targets are back... we have an stable of talented backs... chances are he's going to have a pretty good year and he'll continue to grow as a passer.

I feel like this year, Pryor will continue his growth and have a good season. He won't put up Heisman numbers, but I'm expecting something along the lines of 60-61% completion, 2500-2700 yards, 23-25 TD's and 5-8 INT.

My favorite is Mallet from Arkansas. Not sure how. I actually haven't seen him play much, but he gets a lot of hype and I haven't heard anyone call him overrated.

I've seen Mallet play a few times, and he's not very good. He is good for a couple nice passes, but he's usually inaccurate. Maybe he'll get better this year.


A few young QBs who could do well this year...

I really like Zach Collaros of Cincinnati. I thought he was much better than Pike last year, but Kelly decided to stick with Pike.

Kyle Parker of Clemson impressed me. Needs to be more consistent, but can make big plays.

Jacory Harris of Miami improved as the season went on. He could have a break-out year.



And my pick for best QB in college is:

I'm calling BS on this. You make it seem as if Pryor had an epiphany after the Purdue game, but he was really just the same QB he had been. He could dink-and-dunk, and the only passes he could complete downfield were play-action lobs. The 5 games following the Purdue game, which included 3 of the weakest teams on OSU's schedule, Pryor completed 13, 11, 8, 14, and 9 passes. Sorry, that doesn't seem like a "pro-style" attack.

The Iowa game is a great example of Pryor's shortcomings as a passer. Iowa actually has a good defense (unlike Oregon, who just before the Rose Bowl had given up 51 to Stanford, 41 to Arizona, and 33 to Oregon State. Ohio State could only score 26). Pryor 'played within himself' and completed 14 of 17 passes...for a grand total of 93 yards! The longest pass play for OSU was 17 yards!
