Mateer, Sellers, and Reed all belong ahead of Leavitt for now.

I'd urge anyone bashing Gunner at #1 to read the UGA board. Any possible criticism has already been said tenfold by our many chicken littles & the backup QB (as usual) is one of our most popular players.

That said, I think Arch will have better weapons & a better overall season if Texas gets their line straight. I'm curious to see if Curtis moves up and how well Philo does. Tech fans really seemed to hate losing him

If he's still out there balling good for him !

Gunner belongs at number 1.

Arch requires more imagination and speculation to justify number 2.

Arch Manning’s QBR wasn’t even in the Top 30

Stop it.

Does being an Atxgump mean you sleep with your brother and not your sister?

Should Trinidad be playing next year, where do you think he slots? I also think Kamario Taylor is an absolute problem and should be better than 9th, even if he only has 2 games of film.

If Chambliss plays next year, he is the best QB (pure skills) in the SEC

Trinidad top three I would think. I thought about putting Taylor higher, that dude is a freak athlete. Just don't know if he has the weapons around him to finish higher.

Chambliss will be the top QB. I actually think the kid LSU singed from USC will be better that Sam

I don’t know anything about the kid from USC, but I am less than impressed with Sam Leavitt and wonder why there’s so much hype around him. But Kiffin has done more with less in that regard. Blake Sims is the prime example.

Just kinda feel like the USC kid may fit his offense a little better. Plus Sam will miss all of spring practice.

Do yall know the details for the deals in place for them? Even if Sam misses spring ball, he may just start due to the sunk cost of the contract for the first few games.

I don’t. Don’t keep up with it that closely, but I’m sure for what they paid, LSU certainly wants him to start and play

8. Keelon Russell - Alabama


Can't really argue for or against this. He has a high ceiling but we haven't seen enough of him to form a positive or negative opinion.

He may have the biggest upside of any QB on the list, considering he came in as the #2 rated QB out of HS last year. That he's stayed and not shopping around with that on his resume speaks volumes to me. Considering his tools, his age, and if he stays with us I could see him becoming REAL special.

His senior year in HS are the kind of numbers you put up playing NCAA Football in career mode.
