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

[BrntO4Life]

Not to mention he's on a team whose defense is coached by the best defensive mind in CFB.

I don't know about that. I'm a homer, to be sure, but I'd make the argument that Muschamp is better. Bama's D rattled a freshman with little game experience and a terrible O-Line while Texas' D vaporized a "winner's" brain (McElroy) and gave up one big play to Richardson.

Either way, they're both elite.

Landry Jones, Garrett Gilbert, and Blaine Gabbert are going to be that next wave of Big XII QBs that will be in that "Top 10 QBs in the Country" and will be recognized as such by November.

Also, a forgotten player, but maybe the most athletic QB in the country is Robert Griffin from Baylor.

I'm curious to see how this season goes for the Big 12 QBs, because the conference is in a state of flux and all of these QBs have shown promise, but their careers could still go in multiple directions.

I'm sold on Griffin, but how does he return from the knee injury last season? How will Landry Jones perform against a decent defense this year? Will Gabbert be any better 100% healthy?

I don't mention Gilbert because he's only played in one game, so there are tons of questions about how he'll do.

Yall are sleeping on Jerrod Johnson..

Picked by the coaches to be Big 12 offensive player of the year.

It's unfortunate that the A&M defense will wind up losing them a few games. Johnson is a fantastic quarterback, but will be stuck on a disappointing team.

Yeah our defense is pretty pathetic outside of Von Miller.

I think with another solid season Jerrod can maybe move up and be a late 2nd or a 3rd round pick. Some team is going to fall in love with his size and athletic ability, 6'5 240 4.65 speed.

Muschamp owes his entire career to Saban.

How can you not forget about him? He blew out his knee...and he plays for BAYLOR!

 

[BrntO4Life]

Muschamp owes his entire career to Saban.

Hmm, I wouldn't say his ENTIRE career. He's kinda made a bigger deal for himself at Auburn and Texas.

Saban may have given him his start at LSU, but did you ever think it happened to be because Muschamp was just that good as a coach?

If that's the case, I'd say Muschamp owes no one but himself. Hell, Jimbo Fisher (who coached with Muschamp at LSU) even said that Muschamp deserves more credit for the defensive performance of 2003.

Gilbert got REAL FUCKING LUCKY. I'm not saying the kid's not talented, but to say he grew up in the BCS NCG is way too much. Anybody who watched it saw he was getting wrecked before Jordan Shipley started saving his ass with long catch-and-runs.

Gilbert's got something, but I just don't think he made his bones in the BCS NCG. He may prove to be nearly as good as McCoy, (In my mind, he's one of the greatest ever... the most winningest quarterback in NCAA D1-1A history.) but he hasn't yet.

Btw, when was the last time the kid from Baylor even played? I know he's fast and what have you, but he's been hurt for a minute.

Do you guys think he'll actually leave up to the hype and potential this year?

Locker is GOAT

Griffin's been out for a year. A lot of people miss a year. It's no big deal. Especially when Griffin was one of the most efficient QBs in the nation as a Freshman

I'm not sure how he hasn't lived up to it so far? He won big 12 freshman of the year with a 15-3 td/int ratio [also rushed for nearly 900 yards] then started his second year in similar form [4-0 td/int] before tearing his ACL and missing the rest of the year. So apart from one very bad injury [which happens in sports] he has looked more than impressive in his short college career.

I wonder how many people in this thread have actually watched more than 4 or 5 Baylor games the past few years.

Honestly, living on the east coast I can only watch when they are on TV.

Riley is a smurf

so is troy smith...

 

[longhornfan]

Yeah but Troy Smith is black.
Your argument is invalid.

I think - unfortunately - Crist is talented and in a good system with Notre Dame. Granted, the spread is going to make him look overrated whether or not he is.

Keenum's talented and his pro prospects may be entirely dependent on how Kolb does for the Eagles this year. It could set a precedent for the ability and skill level of Houston-system QBs.

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.

And Pryor. I love his athleticism. I think if he broke from the trend and stayed for his senior year, he could learn the position better and become more pro-ready.

I've called him overrated since he was at Michigan.

Dude couldn't hit water if he landed out of a fucking boat. For a possible "Top 10 pick" he's fucking horribly inaccurate.

But I guess if you're tall and can throw it 80 yards, you can get away with a few things.

While on topic though - Jake Locker is the best college QB in my book. Sarkisian is molding him into a more traditional pocket QB as well. Basically if Tim Tebow wasn't overly religious and could throw the ball accurately with a delivery that doesn't look half retarded - you'd have Jake Locker.

Also love Andrew Luck and Matt Barkley.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Do we really need 6 pages of this? It's Locker.

Now go die, homers. Your guy isnt as good as Locker.

Honestly, not giving a fuck about Baylor prevents me from watching many.

In all honesty, I was talking out my ass on that one. I just know he was injured last year.
