Which former SEC QB is an NFL starter 1st?

Aaron Murray in KC?
Murray was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs who really didn't have a need at QB in particular. Nevertheless used their draft board value and took Murray and I believe got a steal. Alex Smith is a starter in KC and he isn't as entrenched as some of the other QB's in the League but managed the Chiefs to a great record last year. I could still see Murray upending Alex in a couple years and earning the starting job there in KC.
Zach Mettenberger in Tennessee?
The Titans did a great job in getting 2 offensive weapons and pieces for their future with Washington RB Bishop Sankey and QB Zach Mettenberger who has enormous upside and talent but slid because of an undisclosed back issue and possible off the field stuff (which was overblown IMO). I think the QB situation is up in the air right now in Tenn and while I do not think Mett is ready probably this year and may need some development. I think he will have an opportunity early to make his name known and grab the job for the Titans and run with it.
AJ McCarron in Cincinnati?
No one except AJ expected him to go 1st or 2nd round, but he still fell a little lower than where most projected him because of an attitude problem. Andy Dalton has had the gifts of an outstanding WR and one of the most innovative OCs (Jay Gruden, now Redskins HC) and still can't make it over the hump of a playoffs win. Dalton is not as loved there as he was after his first year and a fiery motivated (particularly by his slide) guy like McCarron has a chance to earn the chance to start at QB in Cincy. He might need some developmental time as well, but he is a fast learner and very underrated thrower, just needs more pocket presence work.
So who do you guys see starting for their NFL team first?

Mett

Zach Mettenberger in Tennessee?
Not because I think he's the best, but because the man in front of him is more likely to be hurt or benched for poor performance.
quote:
Aaron Murray in KC?
Not a bad choice either. He and Mett could very well be about equal on their chance of playing this year.

AJ McCarron in Cincinnati?
Nah. Dalton is the man there.

Zach. Locker is glass joe.

Shaw beats on Manziel. Starts for Cleveland.

Out of those three?
Mett. He's in the best situation for PT.
AJ could easily be the starter in 2015 for Cincy. Especially if Dalton chokes again. Even if AJ ends up being no better than Dalton, he's clutch and wins big games. So there would be a noticeable upgrade.

We know Manziel starts so I didn't put him in the discussion
Posted on 5/13/14 at 4:25 pm to BuccWildBammer
Mett, easily.

Murray won't take over for Smith this year unless he gets hurt
I already saw a mock draft with the Titans taking Mariota first overall next year
so Mett won't be a long term starter
McCarron won't see the field
So Mett first but none will be long term starters for the team that picked them except maybe Murray eventually

He has a better arm than Dalton IMO

I don't get the love for Mariotta...the one game his pocket was collapsed he choked, he doesn't have great arm strength from most of what I've seen, he's fast but it is what works in that offense
AJ will eventually be the starter in Cincy IMO

Out of those, Mett will probably be the first starter. The other 2 have established starters. Tennessee has Locker who's made of glass and not that good.

Murray should put either Tyler Bray or Chase Daniel in the unemployment line seeking another team this fall...

Except Dalton has actually won a NFL game before.

All that text just to purposefully snub Manziel. Pathetic.

they really believe this is a reason that AJ will start. Hey Greg McElroy won big games too!
