Ridiculously weak year for QB's following one of the best in SEC history. It's crazy, but hell it might be Jacob Coker. If he can just be a game manager and lead Bama to an SEC title, that is probably all it will take to be the best QB in the SEC with such a weak group.
Do you know how weak last year's group was prior to the season? McCarron, Murray, Manziel, Wallace was it.
The year prior was Murray, Wilson, and you could possibly make a case for Bray because of his WRs. In 2011, Wilson, Murray and that was it. As a matter of fact, the 2011 squad was so bad that only four QBs passed for over 1600 yards. We have four coming back that accomplished that.
I get so tired of you short memory folks with all this hyperbole about a weak QB year. It's like you've all forgotten that last year was the humongous exception to the rule in the SEC. Marshall and Dak have the talent and talent around them to go 35, 35 (3500 total yards 35 TD) and have the production with limited resources, experience and playtime to prove it. Wallace dropped 7 ints off his first year and had over 350 yards and 6 TDs again in the run game. Mauk threw for 900 yards in four games with 10 TDs and 2 ints. UGA is loaded at WR, Mason is a 5th year senior and Mike Bobo is still coaching. For how bad Cox did in turnovers, he still threw for nearly 2600 yards and 24 TDs. Thompson is possibly in the top five of most experienced back ups in the nation. He brings back a good core of receivers, I can't see less than 2800 passing yards. Sumlin always has a top QB even back to Drew Brees at Purdue. Somebody is throwing for 3k with 20+ TDs.

Coker is a realistic possibility.
SEC has a weak crop this year and JC has better tools and more talent at his disposal than any of his competitors. I'll be rooting for him this year.

on paper nick marshall, his passing on long pass plays leaves a lot to be desired. but none of the other QB's look to be all that great either. I think marshal is great running the ball though.
