Kentucky’s QB is the worst graded QB in the country?

How overrated is Florida?

Cool

Mitch Trubisky was just taken ahead of Mahommes

Not sure why that matters

I'm not sure how any bama fan could think that after he carved up your defense last season. The thing with fromm is:

-He's not asked to do much. he's like a souped up version of david greene.
-Our offense is practically archaic at this point and we rarely throw downfield. He's not going to put up gaudy stats, so most people looking at stats are going to dismiss him off the bat.

I have no clue what his stats are. Ever. I never look them up. Mostly because he’s just so boring to me.


It looks like he’s throws marshmallows. Or like the ball is way too big for his hand and lighter than a normal ball.

It just looks, off. So when he has a bad stretch it looks terrible. Like, “wtf is this guy doing?”

Although I’m being dead serious, don’t feel the need to respond to this post

Fromm isn’t boring.

They might not like the offense he’s told to run but the throws he does make are not boring.

he had a good game but I don't know about carved up.

That said, he's still inconsistent. So was Hurts his first two years, and were he not playing in the no defense Big 12 may still be.

Still, he will be drafted ahead of Burrow if they were to both go out this year. My guess is that Fromm will return next year.

edit to note that Alabama's defense last year wasn't as good as is generally the case so it wasn't as big a thing to produce a good game against Alabama as 2 years ago and before. Unfortunately, with so many injuries and another unproven D.C. this year isn't great either.

Wow.

They legitimately think they have a 2011 Alabama/LSU defense. How can someone watch their performances against Miami, Kentucky, and Auburn and think, “yeah this team is awesome.”

semantics. He threw for 64% completion, 300 yards, 3 TDs and 0 turnovers. Up until the clemson game I'd be curious the last time prior to that that an opposing QB put up as good of a stat line on bama's defense.

I have no idea what you're basing that on.

Who was better in College Tom Brady or Fromm....

But seriously though I think you understand what I’m saying. Is it numbers that are more important to you or wins?

How is he with making his progressions? I haven't watched enough of him to tell.
ETA: Seems he is rated 2nd under pressure.

You laugh, but State Farm has to resurrect that commercial once Jake goes pro.

Fromm is a nice little quarterback but he’s no Joey Heisman

Every QB is a complimentary qb.

Take away the OL, RB, and WR, and you have a QB on the sideline doing warm ups with a tight end.

You can't like football and not like Jake.

I agree with that. He's a quality player all around. He might look a little flashier if the Bulldogs didn't run the ball as well as they do.
