2021 SEC Unit Rankings: Quarterbacks

8 MIZZOU: Connor Bazelak
Well, he lit up LSU like a Christmas tree. However, he never really lived up to that performance, and his 400+ yard game stands more of a testament of how terrible LSU’s defense was. Though Bazelak did throw for 380 against both Vandy and Arkansas. That’s not a bad freshman year, and he flashed talent, even if he looked lost against the top teams. But even if he never develops further, he’s reached a level of Good Enough for Missouri. If he can bully the bad teams and lose to the top programs, that’s still a 7-8 win team and a nice bowl. Bazelak is on a nice Drew Lock career path.

This was during the COVID-19! No time to connect with receivers and there are now much better receivers coming in and will start and should be a lot better. Some never got a chance to show anything from the last class. Throw out last year season and this year will be a lot better and Bazelak was never the starter and didn't get the reps early on. Also add that Bazelak was still recovering from knee injury.
