SEC Quarterback Ratings

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

Please keep this up for every position. Also you list Brantley as an 84, then as an 82 when its by team. I think he deserves the 82, until proven otherwise. Also, you got Bray on par with Relf. I think Relf is better NOW, although but Bray has the potential to be better, but again until proven otherwise Bray should be down around the 84-85 mark. Also not quite sure why you rated Kiehl Frazier higher than Brissett. But pretty good stuff

Brantley's at a 84 was a typo. He was supposed to be an 82. I can see what your saying about Relf and Bray, Personally, I like Bray better and think he's a better QB, but since he is still a bit unproven I would have no problem with him at a 85. Frazier and Brissett were very close together. Brissett to a 76 would not be a strech at all. Honestly, I know more about Frazier so that is part of the reason I put him a bit higher. Thanks for the input. I'm hoping to get the RB ratings posted soon.

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

I'd lower Jordan Jefferson to be closer to Brantley. His numbers last year were actually a little worse than Brantley's, but he has had good games before.

Brantley - 200/329 (60.8%), 2061 yards, 9 TD, 10 INT, 116.36 rating
Jefferson - 118/209 (56.5%), 1411 yards, 7 TD, 10 INT, 114.65 rating

Jefferson is a better runner than Brantley though.

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

That's pretty creepy. Your list almost matches how I re-rated them. These are the few exceptions:

Aaron Murray-88
Jeff Brantley 84
Tyler Bray- 85
Jefferson-82
Clint Mosely-80 (Still think he may have a chance to start. Heard just as much about him as I have Trotter, as far as media is concerned. Auburn fans thing Frazier will eventually start. I go against this thought because he played in such a low level of competition in high school.)

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

I think 86 is a little high for Bray. I think the kid has a high ceiling, but I hesitate to give him so much credit for throwing a bunch of TDs against Memphis and the 3 worst teams in the SEC to end the season. (also threw a whole lot of picks in those games). I would probably go as follows:

Murray: 89
Garcia: 87
Wilson: 87
Jefferson: 84
Relf: 84
Bray: 84
McCarron: 83
Brantley: 82
Newton: 81
Smith: 79
Trotter: 78
Mackey: 76

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

Overall ratings don't really tell me much. Show me their speed, agility, acceleration, awareness, throwing power, throwing accuracy. Those are what really matter IMO on how to gauge a QB in a football game.

Smith: 79
Trotter: 78
Mackey: 76

That looks pretty good. I think both Relf and Bray should be higher than Jefferson. I wouldn't put McCarron that high just yet.

I'm not at my PS3 now but I'll try to get those up later.

Dang ya'll don't think too highly of the SEC QB's this year huh?

Personally, until proven otherwise, I think they are spot on.

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

As a long time follower and fan of the SEC, this might just be the weakest group of QB's I have seen, coming into the preseason. I think this may be the key in the SEC losing their current streak of national championships. With that said, if LSU figures out their situation, they have the best shot. I am an Alabama fan by the way.

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

Experience wise? Yes it is a terrible year for the QB's in the SEC but talent wise not so much IMO. Murray, Connor Shaw, Tyler Wilson, and AJ and Phillip Sims have very high ceilings. Tyler Russell and Relf aren't going to be chopped liver this year either. Russell is a young version of Jason Campbell luckily for him he has Relf ahead of him so he hasn't been thrown to the wolves like Jason Cambell was as a young QB but there's no doubting the potential in Tyler Russell. Tyler Bray at Tenn has a strong arm too. I just think as the season goes along you'll be a little suprised. I might be drinking too much of the SEC kool-aid though lol.

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

Also Jordan Jefferson suprised me by holding off Mettenberger in Spring. I thought Mettenberger would beat him out just from how good he was at GA. Not saying JJ is Peyton Manning lol but I think he'll finally have a solid year.

I think Sims will pull ahead by the end of fall practice. McCarron Not sold yet on AJ. I think Sims will pull ahead and win it by the end of spring. Something is just missing with AJ. His attitude is sort of like Mallet's. We know how that was in a tight crunch.

Re: SEC Quarterback Ratings

I lean towards Phillip Sims too but both are pretty equal. All us bama fans have been wanting to see a gun slinger wear crimson and now we'll get to see it because AJ and Phillip can both sling it lol. Only thing is hopefully they don't make too many young mistakes. The big plus with Sims though is he's heavier and I just worry about AJ being skinny taking big hits you know
