Coaches Hot Seat’s Top 15 Quarterbacks in College Football Today
Last night several of us here at Coaches Hot Seat got together over dinner to talk about this Wall Street bailout plan (and there is no doubt in our minds that this is a massive bailout of a bunch of greedy bastards on Wall Street that have been playing Russian Roulette with our economy and all of our lives for the last 9 years. If you would like to understand how our financial system got into this damn mess and read about a legitimate way (as opposed to the terribly misguided Paulson/Treasury bailout plan) to find our way out of the abyss, just read Nobel Prize winning Edmund S. Phelps’ editorial in the Wall Street Journal today: We Need to Recapitalize the Banks) and to watch the FAU-Middle Tennessee football game and a discussion came up of which current quarterback in college we would pick if we were starting a college football team from scratch. We don’t think there has ever been a collection of QBs in college football like there is today, and as we watch games each week it is amazing to see the maturity of many quarterbacks and how well they stay within their team’s gameplan, and also how well they go about keeping their team out of trouble by limiting turnovers.
Here are the 15 current college quarterbacks that we would choose, in order, to start a college football team from scratch. Our rankings are based upon both current performance and their potential into the future:
1. Sam Bradford, Oklahoma
2. Matthew Stafford, Georgia
3. Chase Daniel, Missouri
4. Matt Grothe, USF
5. Riley Skinner, Wake Forest
6. Max Hall, BYU
7. Jevon Snead, Ole Miss
8. Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State
9. Pat White, West Virginia
10. Colt McCoy, Texas
11. Tim Tebow, Florida
12. Todd Reesing, Kansas
13. Mark Sanchez, USC
14. Chris Nickson, Vanderbilt
15. John Parker Wilson, Alabama
There were several very good quarterbacks that were left off our list for different reasons once the vote was tallied, and there were a number of QBs that were well down the list because they are not being utilized to the fullest extent of their capability by their coaches right now or they are just not playing very well. It is obvious that there are head coaches in college game today that do not trust their QBs to make the right decisions on the field like, take care of the football appropriately, and to run an offense that is aggressively attacking the defense to move the ball down the field and score points.
