Here are all the QB PFF rankings that involve a player who will be in the SEC next year...

quote:
121. RILEY NEAL, DEUCE WALLACE – VANDERBILT
Preseason Rank: 85; Week 6 Rank: 92; Week 12 Rank: 124
Neal wasn’t quite what Commodores fans thought he could have been as he transferred over after several successful years at Ball State, but Wallace was perhaps even a bigger disappointment in 2019.
quote:
104. RYAN HILINSKI, JAKE BENTLEY – SOUTH CAROLINA
Preseason Rank: 33; Week 6 Rank: 86; Week 12 Rank: 114
Hilinski stepped right in for the Gamecocks against a top opponent as his second game saw him take on Alabama. Hilinski made some dramatic throws in the game against the Crimson Tide even if it was out of reach, giving hope for the South Carolina team in 2019. However, that was false hope as the team rattled off just four victories all season long, and Hilinski finished with just the 120th-ranked passing grade among quarterbacks.
quote:
101. BO NIX – AUBURN
Preseason Rank: 96; Week 6 Rank: 88; Week 12 Rank: 96
The SEC Freshman of the Year was certainly not in the running to win such an award from us at PFF, as Nix continually didn’t grade well all season long, finishing with 18 turnover-worthy passes (T-28th) to just 17 big-time throws (T-47th). His highlight-reel plays were something, but he was far too often inaccurate with the ball, throwing an uncatchable, inaccurate pass on 26.5% of his throws. He finished as just the 105th-ranked quarterback in passing grade while his 63.0% completion percentage from a clean pocket ranked just 128th.
quote:
93. TOMMY STEVENS, GARRET SHRADER – MISSISSIPPI STATE
Preseason Rank: 63; Week 6 Rank: 76; Week 12 Rank: 103
as the season wore on, neither Shrader nor Stevens seemed to take control of the offense as a legitimate downfield passer. Both quarterbacks threw more turnover-worthy passes than they did big-time throws, but both also added a dimension with their rushing ability as well, just not enough to bring them into the top half of quarterbacks.
quote:
80. JARRETT GUARANTANO, BRIAN MAURER – TENNESSEE
Preseason Rank: 21; Week 6 Rank: 115; Week 12 Rank: 87
His highs were among the best in the country with two games above 90.0 overall, but some of his lows rivaled those among the worst in the nation, as he saw four single-game grades lower than 48.0. He’s a career 60.0% completion percentage kind of guy, and that was similar in 2019, but he’s yet to finish a season with a passing grade in our elite grade range despite teasing it in multiple games during his career.
quote:
74. LYNN BOWDEN, SAWYER SMITH, TERRY WILSON – KENTUCKY
Preseason Rank: 46; Week 6 Rank: 130; Week 12 Rank: 122
Smith had the lowest-graded game we’ve ever given to a quarterback at the college level when he became the first player to have double-digit turnover-worthy plays in a game in Week 4 against Mississippi State. Smith’s 14.3% turnover-worthy play percentage ranked as by far the highest percentage among all quarterbacks who attempted at least 100 passes this season. Bowden completed just 35-of-74 passes for 403 yards but ran for 1,342 yards on designed carries and another 154 on scrambles.
quote:
66. KYLE TRASK, FELEIPE FRANKS – FLORIDA
Preseason Rank: 43; Week 6 Rank: 58; Week 12 Rank: 65
As much as Florida fans clamored for Franks to be removed for Trask, we may be at a time where those same Gator fans are asking for Emory Jones instead of Trask after his average performance in 2019. Trask launched just nine big-time throws compared to his 22 turnover-worthy passes, a mark that certainly isn’t pleasing on the eyes.
quote:
49. JOHN RHYS PLUMLEE, MATT CORRAL – OLE MISS
Preseason Rank: 50; Week 6 Rank: 63; Week 12 Rank: 48
Corral saw passing game grades above 70.0 in five of his starts while Plumlee was largely ineffective as a passer and instead relied on his incredible rushing ability. If the job is Plumlee’s to lose in 2020, he’ll need to improve on his passing ability. If Corral does stay around and fights for the job in 2020, he can improve on what seemed like an improved feel for the game as his starts started to trickle on early in the year.
quote:
41. KELLEN MOND – TEXAS A&M
Preseason Rank: 25; Week 6 Rank: 42; Week 12 Rank: 37
Owner of one of the best throws of the entire season, Mond had a tremendously difficult schedule to contend with at Texas A&M this season. He still navigated through difficult secondaries fielded from Clemson, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia and LSU to field a completion percentage of 61.3% and 20 passing touchdowns against just nine interceptions. Buoyed by the aforementioned top throw of the season, Mond was incredible when working to his left, completing 39 of his 69 throws to the left of the numbers for 486 yards and four scores.
quote:
16. JAMIE NEWMAN, SAM HARTMAN – WAKE FOREST
Preseason Rank: 37; Week 6 Rank: 7; Week 12 Rank: 11
Newman’s services are headed to Georgia in 2020 and that leaves Hartman as the next man up. He’ll have big shoes to fill with the void of Newman’s transfer. Newman finished the year as the country’s sixth highest-graded quarterback on all throws at least 10 yards downfield, completing passes at a high rate and uncorking 22 big-time throws compared to just four turnover-worthy passes. He stood tall in the pocket and utilized his big arm to squeeze throws into tight windows, seemingly at will. When necessary, Newman took something off the ball and floated passes into his big receivers on the outside. He was the country’s 10th highest-graded passer on throws outside the numbers in 2019, completing 106-of-175 attempts for 1,548 yards, 17 touchdowns and 13 of his big-time throws came on such passes.
quote:
5. TUA TAGOVAILOA, MAC JONES – ALABAMA
Preseason Rank: 2; Week 6 Rank: 3; Week 12 Rank: 10
Finishing the year with the country’s fourth-highest and 35th-highest grades at the position, respectively, Tagovailoa and Jones paired to make one of the more compelling stories in sports this season actually one of the best quarterback situations in the country.
For being thrust into action the way he was, it should come as no surprise that Jones was actually the country’s second-ranked quarterback from a pressured pocket, completing 66.7% of his passes and not committing a single turnover-worthy play when he was under duress.

Lynn Bowden has already declared for the draft as a receiver. So god I hope Terry Wilson comes back healthy.

I included all of the write-ups that included at least one returning player.

Not really just a returning QBs grading/ranking really. since they are factoring in players that have left too.

That's right. But there's still some good info there. I had to shorten it some to get it to fit into the 7000 allowed characters.

[Editor's note: These rankings are based heavily on the individual player's PFF grades for the season. The avoidance of negatively graded plays, the propensity for positively graded plays, the strength of competition and value towards a team victory are all heavily factored, as well. A player's effect on their team's offense, their expected points added per dropback (or rushing attempt) and overall accuracy from our advanced ball-charting data are also considered among other factors.]

66. KYLE TRASK, FELEIPE FRANKS – FLORIDA Preseason Rank: 43; Week 6 Rank: 58; Week 12 Rank: 65 As much as Florida fans clamored for Franks to be removed for Trask, we may be at a time where those same Gator fans are asking for Emory Jones instead of Trask after his average performance in 2019. Trask launched just nine big-time throws compared to his 22 turnover-worthy passes, a mark that certainly isn’t pleasing on the eyes.
Kyle Trask has started ten games.
-He broke Chris Leak's consecutive completion record.
-He out threw Feleipe's career game high 5 times. (Or half of the game he started.)
-He has thrown more 300 yard games than all Gator QBs combined going back to 2009.
-He has the highest completion rate of any starting Gator QB in modern football (we'll say 30 years).
-He beat Chris Leak (2006) in every single passing category except for one: Passing Yards. Where he lost by a single yard. (He played two less games, started in 4 less and also split snaps.)
-He is the first Gator QB to throw for over 300 yards against LSU in Death Valley since Rex Grossman.
-First UF QB to throw for two passing touchdowns against Georgia since Tebow.
-Only Tim Tebow and Danny have a higher QBR than Trask. Trask beat out Rex and Leak.
Trask is 10th in Total QBR.
He is 15th in QBR.
This list is absolutely retarded just based on that alone -- the idea that Emory is better than Trask too is just awful.
Clickbait is clickbait.

I'm honestly not sure if any of that means that Trask is all that good. It likely just points out how bad Folrida's quarterbacks have been the last 10+ years

That is laughable.
I guarantee UF doesn't have 11 wins with Mond at QB instead of Trask this past season.
UF had no running game at all until late in the year. It was ALL on Trask.
He had a 2 TD come from behind victory in his first game, put 28 on LSU and put on a clinic most of the game, came from behind against South Carolina on the road with clutch throws in the 2nd half, almost led a comeback against UGA in the 4th quarter, and about the only bad game he had was against UVA and he still threw for 300.
I think these stats are skewed by his early sloppy games against UT and Auburn, but he really cleaned up the turnovers later in the year.

Congrats on the almost.
Glad y'all didn't have a fast dual threat QB or else y'all may have been able to beat UGA. Thats what Dan needs, right?

How can you almost lead a comeback if you never have the ball with a chance to tie or win?
Auburn almost had a comeback.
A&M almost had a comeback.
Florida just decided to join UGA in running out the 4th quarter clock.
