2. Jarrett Stidham, Auburn: Another short-burning 2015 star, Stidham transferred from Baylor following the school’s firing of Art Briles. Now, the former five-star recruit is expected to take the helm of the Tigers offense; he will compete with last year’s starter, Sean White, in fall camp. Stidham, who completed 68.8 percent and had a 6-to-1 touchdown to interception ratio as a freshman at Baylor, should instantly transform Auburn’s offense. He’s Gus Malzahn’s best quarterback prospect since Cam Newton.

9. Malik Zaire, Florida: Zaire is the hardest player to slot on this list for a number of reasons. First, he’ll be forced to compete for the job with highly-touted redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks, aka the future. Second, it’s a bit of a mystery as to just what Zaire has left. He wowed in flashes at Notre Dame – particularly in 2015 before an injury ended his season in Week 2 – but couldn’t regain his starting job from DeShone Kizer a year ago. Headed to Florida, it remains to be seen if Zaire is an answer to Florida’s QB woes or just another guy in the post-Tim Tebow era.

Kyler Murrey going to Oklahoma would haft to be my favorite just going off of a teams ability to enhance his opportunity . Not this year though cause of Baker mayfield.

He shouldn't be over guys like Malik Zaire, Torrance Gibson and Kyler Murray.
I think he gets a small boost over some guys because of playing time and experience, but that shouldn't matter when you played horrendously.

I would drop Kyle Allen several spots down the list as well. My first thought when I clicked this thread was that I think Barnett is better than Allen.

Some good company
Posted on 6/4/17 at 3:47 pm to TTsTowel
When asked what his jersey number would be, Kyle Allen picked 6.

Brandon Harris ahead of malik Zaire is fricking retarded. Zaire is a much better qb.

But Florida fans are ecstatic. Right?

Yeah no reason for Harris to be ahead of Zaire.
But I actually think Harris is a good prospect in terms of talent. He has an NFL caliber arm and is reasonably mobile. He just wasn't very accurate, seemed to lack situational awareness, and overall didn't appear to have a good grasp of the playbook. I think a lot of it comes down to coaching as Miles and Cameron were clowns. But from a talent point of view, he's not a bad get if you can correct or mitigate his deficiencies, like any good coach should, for a college QB with the level of physical talent he possesses. So I think from that standpoint he should get a decent spot on a list like that.
But we will see how he does in a new system at UNC. I'm curious to see how he performs there, and I'm kind of pulling for him.

Lol at Auburn, Murray and Allen are both on the list too 
Posted on 6/4/17 at 4:32 pm to Sid E Walker
Grier could have been a great one at UF and would have been better than the QBs last year but UF is a better team now without him.
You have to win your position at a top 10 program.

Yeah lol at us for landing one of the best available QBs in the country, who Texas a&m tried very very hard to get and who would instantly start for y'all

Would he have still been on roids if he stayed?

What happened with Anu Soloman? He was great as a freshman
Posted on 6/4/17 at 4:47 pm to BowlJackson
Yeah, I don't get oldsarges point right there. Stidham is going to be a good fit at auburn. If anyone should be laughed at it should be tamu for the exodus at the qb position recently.
