Atlas' Top Ten College QB's for 2013: THE GREATEST LIST EVER COMPILED IN HISTORY!!!!!

[SuperKevin]

:golfclap: on having Hundley here. I'd probably put him even higher but still there is no doubt he's a top 10 QB in college right now.

 

[Tengo Juego]

Man, I remember Hundley and J. Franklin just tearing up Nebraska last season. Hurry up and post 8-1!

Chip Kelly and his offense seems like it can plug in any athlete at Quarterback and make him look amazing. Can you run really fast? Check. Can you make a lot of short and intermediate throws? Check. Can you efficiently hand the ball off to a plethora of weapons? Check. Do not get me wrong, I love this offense and how they utilize their QB’s, but let’s be honest about one thing: this kid is not going to be an NFL QB, not even as a backup or tackling dummy. That being said, this is a list for college QB’s, and he probably fits his team’s offense as good as or better than any other QB in the country. The stats and record do not lie, the kid is a great leader, and he led this team to being a FG away from a National Title shot in his first year at the helm. However, the absence of THE GURU may or may not have an adverse effect on him, the offense, and the team as a whole. Based on that, I will err on the side of caution, but I will not be remotely surprised when, at the end of 2013, Oregon is 13-0/12-1, has one of the best offenses in the country, playing in the Pac12 title game, with this kid sitting in a chair in NYC waiting to (hopefully) hear his name called.

Up Next, #7: to be released later today (hopefully)​

If you put your little blurbs in a quote box, will it mess with your format? It's a bitch to read it, as it is.

Yea I'll fix it when I get on again.

TEXMEX!!!!!!! I just like this kid, he threw for 2,871 yds and 23 TDs at a 62% clip, as well as rushing for over 1,000 yards and 10 TDs. He has made strides as a passer, and even though his OC's have been inept, he continues to progress. I'd like to see him and Nebraska finally get over the hump in the B1G, b/c this will be their last year to have that opportunity for at least a few more years.

wont happen and I'm a fan. They wont win when it counts cause defense wont stop anyonyone. They'll have to keep scoring and the fact is he is nothing more then a college QB . He isn't really that great a passer...He's improved but that doesn't say much over all. And this may well be Bo's last year as coach

 

[Hasselbeck]

Good list Atlas. Would read #10-8 again.

Nahste and some of the other SEC/LSU homers overrate him a bit, solely because he pooped on their team in the Chick Fil A Bowl, but my lasting thought of Boyd is his imploding while he and Clemson were on their largest stage: their 70-33 loss to WVU in the Orange Bowl. Sure he had a great statistical year last year, but if you go back and look at their schedule, they only played three capable teams all year and lost to two of them and barely beat the third. Yes, Boyd and his Clemsonites will walk through the ACC with relative ease, mostly because its shit, but the two SEC games that bookend their schedule could be their only two losses on the season. However, with that Clemson should be the ACC’s representative in the Orange Bowl again, barring injury, and they will probably get blown out by whoever they play (assuming it is a BCS school).

​

:rofl: at calling the Orange Bowl a large stage. I prefer to evaluate him going up against pro defenses.

MACTION!!!! Another throwback quarterback makes the list, this time in the form of Jordan Lynch, who led his NIU team to the Orange Bowl in 2012. He is not a great passer like some of the others on this list, but he is more than capable while slinging it, but add in his ability to tote the rock like a running back, and you get a true blunderbuss of a weapon back there taking snaps. NIU should and probably will walk through their regular season schedule undefeated this year, with games at Iowa in week 1 and Kent State in week 6 being their only true tests (if you can call a game with a middling B1G team a test). Even still, Lynch and NIU should roll through the schedule easily and end up in the Fiesta against the B12 champion (which would be a great matchup, since NIU can not stop anyone and the B12 does not allow defense at all.)

it was for clemson, and they subsequently got pooped on... then they played in a mid tier bowl the next year, didnt feel any pressure, and beat a decent SEC team...

Murray might be the only guy on this list with the "NFL ARM", but he is statuesque in the pocket at times and against SEC defenses, that usually spells trouble. However, all of their truly tough conference games are neutral site or betwixt the hedges, so UGA might have a shot at repeating as SEC East champions for the third year in a row. Their defense is green and will have a trial by fire the to begin the season battling the premier state schools of South Cackalacky, in Clemson and USCe, respectively. Still though, Richt is a seasoned vet, they have numerous playmakers on their offense and a stud QB to divvy out the touches, UGA will be fine. See you in the SECCG and then the Capital One Bowl, again.

​

 

[ThomasTomasz]

My cousin is on the UGA staff, and they are essentially treating this year as a retooling process for next year. Given the weakness of the SEC East, that probably still means they are in on the title game, but their focus is big on next year.
