Unpopular opinion…I don’t think Chambliss is elite whatsoever

I think if you go look back at the games against the better defenses OM faced, you’ll see he had pretty damn good outings. His completion % could certainly be better.

Maybe he’s not elite per se, but I think he makes the guys around him better, and that’s tough to quantify. Ole Miss is not in the CFBP without him.

Kid plays hard and you can tell he’s a gamer.

I do think he has a ceiling with his limitations though

Often times we judge a guy’s play by considering his NFL potential. Chambliss is not an NFL caliber QB, at least not right now. But he’s a darn good college QB and will likely get better if he gets the waiver this week.

I’m guilty of this, in particular with his teammate Austin Simmons. To me, he looks like he has an NFL future but it’s not really debatable that Chambliss is a better college QB right now.

Either way, it’s a strong possibility that one of those is LSU’s starter next season. I’ll be ecstatic to have either.

He has shown signs of getting rattled in big situations as well.. With that being said he came from a D2 school to OM and was not the season starter. Gets thrown in week 3 when Simmons goes down and has lead them to an 11-1 record while playing pretty good for the most part. I’d say he’a done pretty well!

He doesn't have to be elite to get you to the big game. He's more than good enough to get you to the NC. He did it in the SEC against some of the best defenses. You have no idea if a guy like Leavitt despite his high end NFL talent potential will do in the SEC. Chambliss is safe and easy pick. You know what you're getting with him. Ceiling might be higher for some guys in the portal but do you want risky or safe? I'll trust Kiffin on this. He knows QBs.

They're going to need multiple guys so it's reasonable to look at the lower ranks to give a guy an opportunity behind whoever the big get is in the portal. So maybe you find another hidden Chambliss that's cheaper in the portal for depth.

I think he’s a pretty good option. Accuracy is a little bit of an issue, but he doesn’t turn the ball over and he makes good decisions. He reminds me of Khalil Tate from Arizona back in the day, I think he’s a better passer than Tate ever was.

They put up 69 points against Georgia and Oklahoma. Tennessee put up 68. Alabama was the next highest scoring opponent against either team and they put up only 45 in the two regular season matchups and 7 in the SECCG. They were right there with Tennessee as the best offense in the conference.

Chambliss leads the SEC in passing yards and has led Ole Miss to an 11-1 record and home playoff game with a subpar defense in his first season starting in the SEC

Out of your MIND if you don’t think he’s elite

Question of the day, in these modern times where words aren't really used as they are defined(great, generational for example), what exactly is elite? Many around these parts thought Nuss was elite. We dont really seem to be the greatest judges of what it looks like.

And no Chambliss isn't elite. He plays better than Nuss but im not sure hes more elite than Nuss is. Just a better fit for Kiffins offense than Nuss was for ours.

If we was elite he’d go pro this year.
