Sporting News: Top 25 QB's 2018

[iowajerms]

Lewerke? Really? Man, there are a lot of people saying a ton in Michigan State that I just don’t see that is deserved as of yet.

I agree. He is a dual threat, so he is fun to watch, but I think ISU' Kempf and Iowa's Stanley better.

I am kind of s surprised one of Terps QB didn't make the list.

 

[Deep Creek]

If he gets the money I've heard on the radio he's be stupid to not play baseball. QB for OU doesn't pay near that much.

You guys need to increase your pay scale.

 

[Scapegoat]

You guys need to increase your pay scale.

We're on the Big 12 pay scale. Not the SEC.

 

[cwerph]

How is Dwayne Haskins this low? He has to be higher considering he is getting an invite to the heisman ceremony, right?

Yes, but only if he wins the starting job, which he hasn't (yet).

 

[Innermind]

Lewerke? Really? Man, there are a lot of people saying a ton in Michigan State that I just don’t see that is deserved as of yet.

Quite honestly I don't get it either. I can see MSU being ranked highly as a team but people are really high on Lewerke; who's had nothing but average stats all around as a starter.

I agree. He is a dual threat, so he is fun to watch, but I think ISU' Kempf and Iowa's Stanley better.

I am kind of s surprised one of Terps QB didn't make the list.

Brian Lewerke sends you doubters a face palm and a hair palm.

Why? It has a Texas QB on the list. My bad, that’s North Texas.

I don't think a Texas QB should be on the list. I don't OU should have a QB on the list. Top 5-10 should be proven guys that have had consistent success. The list is a ton of speculation. It's not uncommon for young QBs to have success early, then a good DC digs into the tape, and then he looks young again as that DC found the holes in his game. QBs that move on or have great success late are the ones that make the adjustment, some can't.

 

[JohnShadows]

Jalen Hurts at #11 is a joke. Great Kid, Great Runner, awful QB.

^^^ This. That's a joke.

 

[JohnShadows]

I didn't think Tagovailoa looked fantastic or anything, just capable. Could actually go through a progression, not just 1-read-n-tuck-it, like Hurts.

It never made sense to me why Bama wanted a QB that runs as much as JH does, and passed so erratically. They almost always have a dominant OL and a stable of 5-star RB's. Seems like you just want a guy who can hand-off and execute play-action well.

On Fromm, there's going to be more weight on his shoulders with Chubb and Michel gone. We'll see if he's up to it (I predict yes) or sophomore slump time.

Jake is at #17, doing good to be there. Has to become more consistent, and start showing up in big games. He's literally looked like a deer-in-the-headlights at times against Tater U last 2 years. He sails balls at times, too, like bad.

 

[batchaps4me]

And while Fromm had a great season for a true freshman last season, let's see how he does without a first round RB and an RB that went near the top of the second round before calling him top 3.

IMHO you will be at least as good as last year with your RBs. You have a young stud that is better than either of last year's dynamic duo. If he stays healthy then the sky is the limit.

 

[GoldRusher]

While I think Tua is the real deal, I'd like to see him play a little more before putting him that high.

Totally agree, he has what, all one one half under his belt?
Coaches and players have a little bit on him now to make adjustments moving forward. Prob a fine QB down the road but right now... No, he needs to prove a little more, much like several on that list.

 

[Racer8825]

In order to find out what these guys are capable of and if any are NFL ready I'm going to have to watch them all season. Maybe I'll be able to evaluate them better than Mel Kiper LOL

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

#17

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

I have a real issue with putting a true freshman in Lawrence on the list, and then listing two QBs from the same team multiple times.

If the coaches don't play favorites and go with talent, he'll prove it.

 

[Chewbaccer]

IMHO you will be at least as good as last year with your RBs. You have a young stud that is better than either of last year's dynamic duo. If he stays healthy then the sky is the limit.

I agree, but you have to see it in action first.

 

[Chewbaccer]

If the coaches don't play favorites and go with talent, he'll prove it.

Eh, Fields will wind up being the better QB of the two, but Fields will probably have to sit longer.

 

[Mistaken4193]

^^^ This. That's a joke.

Hurts is the 3rd best QB on Alabama.....Mac Jones is even better than him.

 

[4down20]

Hurts is the 3rd best QB on Alabama.....Mac Jones is even better than him.

Mac Jones was playing against our 2nd string secondary.

In a year when we've had a huge amount of turnover in our secondary and have a lot of people to replace.

Probably a better passer, but people seem to forget what Jalen can do with his legs.

 

[Boise4Life]

If the coaches don't play favorites and go with talent, he'll prove it.

I’d like to see Lawerence win the job. I’m sorry but I think Kelly Bryant sucks. #13 on this list. No way.

Really? I thought Tua was spectacular. As a freshman, on the biggest stage in college football, taking the first meaningful snaps of his life, leading a lifeless offense against easily one of the best defenses in the nation with the pressure on. I thought he killed it. Let’s see what he can do. I think he’s going to be a stud. I’m pulling for him. He seems like a good dude and I like his story.
