Actually vandy has two serviceable quarterbacks that were highly ranked coming out of high school and have in game experiance. I would have to say Florida would be the worst off at QB this year.

Since I watch Florida all the time and everyone else less, it is hard for me to fathom worse QB play than what we have had the last few years. I am hopeful, but until I see it on the field, UF #1 shittiest. Although I know lots of your have the suck at QB too, so go on and admit it.

Y'all need to remember that Bama wins SEC's and NC's with 1st year QB's.

Also Coach McElwain was the QB coach for two NC winning 1st year QB's. I look for the Gator's QB situation to be much improved this season.

I say UF's QB situation looks way better now.


I think you have a good QB in Grier but I think your OL will hamper him this year and that he shouldn't be judged harshly this year assuming it does. You'll know more about Grier the next season when OL is in a better place.

at Georgia even being listed with the other teams. Between Stafford, Murray, Mettenberger, and Mason, they've earned the benefit of the doubt.

Unless they trot out Joe Cox 2.0...

don't think we'll ever be in a QB situation like that again. Ramsey and Park were both former Elite 11 QBs and Army All-Americans. Bauta was labeled as being the next Tebow out of HS due to his physical running style and QB intelligence. Whoever ends up winning the job for us this season will be fine. And then Jacob Eason gets to campus in January and oh my damn.

Florida

1. Georgia Ramsey wasn't great but was okay and has a RB that's going to take alot of the pressure off. They are in the best position of the 5 right now.

2. LSU's have experience and shown flashes of being good but they don't have any way to take the pressure off if they start having a bad game.

3. OM doesn't have much if any depth but they have a QB that has been decent at the D1 and JC level.

4. Bama is probably in the worst position as far as experience but they have a few that were really good in HS.

5. Florida is in bad position if they are hoping to pass alot. If they are going to run alot it puts them in a little better position but not much.

That's a good question, I'm not sure. Hopefully not us, but I'm thinking it might be.

Obvious answer is LSU...because our coach has tunnel vision. He is loyal to a fault and that prevents him from making the best decisions for the team. Les will always build the team around his strategy. In the end, his strategy wins ~10/season and that is amongst the best in the game. We've seen enough of Jennings to know that he will never be spectacular but may develop into a JJ type player. Is that really what we want when we have (arguably) as talented a group of WR's as I've ever seen at LSU? I've seen enough of Harris in the Miss St game to convince me that he should have been on the receiving end of CC's attention since he arrived on campus in Jan/14.

We have the worst QB situation because we have the wrong guy making our QB decisions. Why even have a guy with CC's experience if our head coach isn't willing to (fully) leverage that experience. CC makes a lot of money to do exactly what Les tells him to do.

We should be okay if Coach Mason would just pick a damned starter and stick with him! The revolving door strategy never works.

Mason just about lost the first game of the season doing that stuff. I was really surprised that he benched Paton after a Rocky start in the first game of the season. I know he fired the oc but I believe the qb caracell was all on masons shoulders.

I've heard this "loyalty" argument regarding Les frequently over the last few years, but I was wondering if anyone ever bothered to check and see if maybe Miles just isn't all that bright in certain areas. Maybe it's like how some people kill at analogies but have poor spatial reasoning -- maybe Miles is great at lots of stuff, but can't tell the difference between a terrible quarterback and a good one without flash cards and kick to the nuts as negative reinforcement every time he says, "Gosh, I bet that Jennings kid will complete a pass if we just trust him"?

It would have to be. There's not an HC in the country that woud just leave the choice of starting QB to his assistants. So it's a bit frustrating to know that Mason has commitment issues in that area.

Definitely not LSU. Jennings for 5 Heismans! Oh wait, wrong offseason. Jennings' improved footwork! Harris has learned the playbook!

Pretty sure his gameplans for the past several years reflect that he's pretty adept at identifying when he's got a good one.

In the last 5 seasons, LSU Run/Pass Ratio has always been above 60:40 unless Mett was under center.

Mettenberger


You do know he spent a rs season there, they usually arent splitting reps in practice. He spent 3 years at LSU. but somehow he was made at UGA? No all of his big time college experience came from playing under Les Miles.

I dont really know much about ugas qb situation, they usually recruit well so they have that going for them. But id have to say Vandy in the east, Ole miss in the west. But it also isnt way out of line to think uga could have worse qb play than tenn, usce, mizzou and uf out of the east.
