College Football Magazines (Top QB's)

[da ThRONe]

I just hope they really do what the say and scale back the numbers. No QB should be rated over 92 Overall.

Ryan Mallett- Arkansas 3. Jake Locker- Washington 4. Case Keenum- Houston 5. Terrelle Pryor- Ohio St 6. Andrew Luck- Stanford 7. Jerrod Johnson- Texas A&M 8. Greg McElroy- Alabama 9. Josh Nesbitt- Ga.Tech 10. Christian Ponder- Fla.St. 11. Blaine Gabbert- Missouri 12. Andy Dalton- TCU 13. Colin Kaepernick- Nevada 14. Tyrod Taylor- Va. Tech 15. Landry Jones- Oklahoma 16. Russell Wilson- NC State 17. Robert Griffin- Baylor 18. Jacory Harris- Miami 19. Ricky Dobbs- Navy 20. Scott Tolzien- Wisconsin 21. Matt Barkley- USC 22. Ricky Stanzi- Iowa 23. Nick Foles- Arizona 24. Tom Savage- Rutgers 25. Zach Collaros- Cincinnati What do you guys think? Who should be added or eliminated? Who will be rated highest in NCAA?

McElroy cant complete passes in the redzone. Take him out of the top 10. Josh Nesbitt cldnt throw to save his life. I suggest you put Robert Griffin in the top 10. Trust me on this one.

Potential 1st rounders for next year: Locker, Mallet, Luck, Ponder, Keenum, and Jerrod Johnson. Then there are guys like Gabbert, Stanzi, Enderle, Foles, and others who could be prospects, maybe even Pryor. I've heard there are as many as 22 guys who could be drafted next year. Anyway, just for fun: OVR Keenum 96 Ponder 95 Moore 95 Locker 94 Mallet 93 Luck 92 Gabbert 92 Pryor 92 THP Mallett 98 (Maybe 99, has there been a better arm in the last 10 years? Maybe Jamarcus or Stafford?) Locker 95 Gabbert 94 Luck 93 Glennon 92 Jerrod Johnson 92 Barkley 92 THA (I would give Bradford or McCoy a 98-99 in THA) Keenum 96 Moore 95 Ponder 94 Gabbert 92 Brantley 92 Sheffield 92 Luck 91 Collaros 91 Locker 90 Foles 90

What you said is right, but it seems odd that there are so many quarterbacks that could be taken next year, but I can't really see any that are in that "elite" category. Most years there is at least one, sometimes more quarterbacks who are either just untouchable and far above everyone else at the college ranks, or who are worthy of being a #1 pick and modeling your franchise around. I don't really see that with anyone in this years class, with possibly a few exceptions.

I love playing with different styles of Qb's. I have a feeling Pryor may be too potent with the spread because of his running ability. Locker should be a beast. I agree Brantley should've been in the top 25. I really like that Dobbs kid at Navy.

Jacory Harris and Robert Griffin in the top 10 and Josh Nesbitt and Greg McElroy out!!!

Had Robert Griffin not gotten hurt last year, he would have been higher imo. Nesbitt is strictly an option QB but, that's what I love about college football.

Grey McElroy has no business being in the top 10. I'm not sure if he's even one of the top 20 QB's in college football, he's not much of a prospect either. He's a sucessful QB, sure, but that doesn't mean that he's incredibly talented.

Yeah I think the guys who could be elite obviously have to have big years. Locker and Mallet have huge potential. I think Ponder might be the best all around. They might be the best bets.
