Only one I know out of that list is Mariota.



:jnc She's a UGA journalism alum and is one of the anchors of Good Morning America.

Florida missed their opportunity. They could have had this fine woman represent them.

Sad state of QB play, when it just takes 2 good QB's in the league to claim "best Conference QB in CFB."

True, and then outside of Stanford, you wonder who else plays defense in the PAC 12. It's hard to tell if these QB's are great or if the defenses they're going against are horrible. Could be some of both.

Speaking of, SEC defenses will look better again this year due to all the new QB's.

Auburn is now claiming the 93 national title. The 2004 one is old news.

Rick Perry is the textbook definition of "full aggy." Great choice.

Oh yeah, that was the Eric Ramsey situation. Among many others. And it wasn't just a TV Ban, it was a 2 year bowl ban. So they were banned from the postseason the year they claim this MNC.

USC was pretty good on defense after they dumped Kiffin last year.

Only one I know out of that list is Mariota.

Brett Hundley is a likely first rounder.

Mannion had some amazing WRs to throw to the last couple of years. If he puts up big numbers without them this year he could end up a fringe first rounder.

 

[andycapps]

USC was pretty good on defense after they dumped Kiffin last year.

That they were. They ended up at #13 in total defense ahead of Stanford (#16)

 

[cdyhybrid]

1) Don't watch Pac-12 games
2) Don't recognize Pac-12 QBs because you don't watch Pac-12 games
3) "I don't recognize those names so they must not be very good!"

This is how the SEC gets 10 teams ranked in the preseason every year.

Mariota and Hundley are top 10 picks, Hogan and Mannion could be mid-late first-rounders, Kelly is probably a mid-round pick. Kessler we'll see, he showed some promise and he has a coach that isn't Lane Kiffin, so he'll probably turn out pretty good. Halliday sucks because he's a Mike Leach QB and a dirty fucking Coug.

 

[StrikerObi]

Hay guys I'm back what's going on in this thread? Also, only two freaking weeks until the start of the 2014 season!

 

[cashman]

It was either Mannion or the other OSU QB that ended up sucking complete dick against Texas in the bowl game a couple years back. I'm not saying the guy sucks, but he's no Taysom Hill.

 

[Talon]

Andy, plz. Any self-respecting college football fan should know Hundley and Hogan at the very least.

Lol at Hogan as a 1st rounder though. Cdy plz.

 

[Lonestar]

Mariota I'm iffy on being a 1st rounder, simply on having the possible "system qb" effect, even if he really doesn't.

Hogan might get some of that "Andrew Luck" effect and fool a team into picking him higher than they should.

But overall, it's a wide open year for QB's in all of football. Get past CrabLegs, Petty and Mariota, it's a lot of unknown's. Some have already played well, but still are relatively invisible (anyone remember Auburn's CB QB?)

 

[cdyhybrid]

Hogan listed as the 3rd overall QB for the 2016 draft by CBS (and #1 and #2 are probably leaving next year)

NFL Draft Scout has him as the #3 overall QB in his class (again behind Mariota/Hundley)

Rob Rang compares Hogan to Phil Rivers and has him as the #10 overall prospect

Take off those highlighter-yellow-and-30-other-colors glasses!

Pretty much every draft website has Mariota as the #1 QB, and a bunch had him #1 last year if he actually came out of school.

I've probably mentioned it like 50 times before, but Mack Brown really did recruit that guy to play safety.

Matt Barkley was listed as the #1 QB for 2 years.

Well, using that logic there's no one in this class worthy of being a first-rounder. They might bust after all, since they aren't Andrew Luck.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I think his name was Vaz. His suckage was the only reason Texas was able to rally back to win that game.

 

[andycapps]

Andy, plz. Any self-respecting college football fan should know Hundley and Hogan at the very least.

Lol at Hogan as a 1st rounder though. Cdy plz.

I know Hundley, and he's probably a mid first rounder according to what I've seen. I can't help it man, I was really busy last college football season but my Saturdays are going to be a lot more open this year.

Mariota I'm iffy on being a 1st rounder, simply on having the possible "system qb" effect, even if he really doesn't.

Mariota is the #1 pick according to some right now, but I get what you're saying that he could be a system QB. Thing is, there's a lot of those guys that were supposedly system QB's that are tearing it up now. If he ends up on the right team he could be a franchise QB.

I've probably mentioned it like 50 times before, but Mack Brown really did recruit that guy to play safety.

I know I've mentioned it a million times before, but Tebow was recruited to UGA as a tight end. Honestly, he'd have been a great one and probably still been in the league. We've put quite a few in there.

I think having 0 experienced players to throw to will show us how good Mariota is this year. Although honestly he's a really impressive physical specimen and that's part of what gets people ranked so high as prospects.

Tom Brady is a system QB in the NFL and he's going to be in the Hall of Fame.

Chip Kelly used his system to make Nick Fucking Foles into one of the most efficient QBs in the NFL last year.

Look if shit heels like Jake Locker and Christian Ponder can be first round draft choices, I don't see why a guy with a far better track record in Mariota can't be one as well.

 

[Draxal]

Well, using that logic there's no one in this class worthy of being a first-rounder. They might bust after all, since they aren't Andrew Luck.

Preseason hype had Tajh Boyd and Teddy Bridgewater being the first two qbs off the board last year. There was some mention of Bortles, but usually not as high as those two.

Mind you, I'm not really knocking prognosticators because Gabbert/Ponder/Manuel exists.

*A note: this requires some explanation. Yes, this is a 6-5-1 Kansas State team, but it is still a pre-Bill Snyder Wildcats team and thus the equivalent of running into a doorjamb and killing yourself accidentally. That doorjamb is covered in flashing gumball lights, police tape, and has a protective walkway built around it, but you still managed to do the unimaginable, Kentucky. The Wildcats' QB that year, Randy Jenkins, had two passing TDs on the year AND THREW TWENTY INTERCEPTIONS IN JUST 187 ATTEMPTS.

P.S. There are no Florida losses on here. The SEC Network will show all of them weekly, along with Georgia Southern twice on Sundays. Kiss our asses, Birmingham, and Roll Tide.

You watch him play, and he's not a first round QB. Too skittish. Mannion's far better than him.

These preseason draft rankings are a joke as always. Shit changes so much over the season.

They're mainly transfers from PSU/Rutgers/BC/Uconn.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

The days of the "gunslinger" and "field general" are kinda over if you ask me. Of the 600 or so dudes who can play qb at the d1 or pro level, probably 75% or more of them are "system" QBs. That's how they're coached: to be highly-proficient system-executing robots.

 

[Lonestar]

It's about the NFL teams and their systems, and how many Colleges fit those systems.

 

[bucknuticus]

OSU and UNC have decided to cancel their home and home in 2017/2018. OSU has replaced them with UNLV and OSU, no way this becomes confusing.

Sadly yes. Personally I watch whatever is on the channels I get, and I will go for games between two ranked teams as my first preference, then whichever game is closest in terms of score, or any possible upsets.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Serious question, do people only really watch their own conference and not others?

Can only speak for myself but while I follow as much cfb as I can, I really only watch my team's games and then maybe 12 or 15 other games at the most in a given season (not counting time spent flipping around to different games on a typical busy Saturday).

For me it depends on who's playing. If it's a big matchup, I'm more inclined to check it out no matter which conference it is.

So who hates Tebow more after seeing him on SECN?

I would just like to take a moment of everyone's time to say that the Big 12 refs suck. You can get back to whatever you were talking about now.

I would get think about getting the secn if you could stream it and internet was decent in Australia.

Espn has two channels in oz. They play matches from about 3am in the morning to 4pm in the afternoon on Sundays. I get up and watch from about 8am.

It's ok as it's generally the big matches shown in order from acc, then sec, then big 12 and big 10 and then they finish with a couple of Pac12 matches.

Generally they only show ranked matches but the biggest match of the weekend is not shown. I assume this is the match which get shown in free to air in the US so espn doesn't get rights to it, so I missed the sec championship game last year for example.

We also get that CFB panel show at the start of the day and then between matches they cross to Lou holtz and the other guy.

I'd have to say that the coverage is good if you go for a ranked team. However you nevwr see any non big five conference match.
