That list is retarded. McElroy that high? Come on the guy is average!

I really like Jefferson and I think he'll be great next season. he should be a bit higher. Stats don't do him justice in my opinion.

I actually think he's more like top 10-15 returning if we fine tune a couple of points in our offense. I hate to keep defending the kid, but I honestly think he's got the tools and the desire. He just needs more focus and coaching. I think he'll be better than McElroy next year (you can hold me to that).

Lol. Can't tell if you're joking to make a point, but I honestly didn't think he was capable of the kind of game he had against Florida. I still peg him as just slightly above average, but he has shown some impressive flashes.

When we played Bama as far as I could tell McElroy was unable to throw a pass farther then 12 yards.

Josh Nesbitt at # 10? Wow. Take away G Tech's running game and see how many games Nesbitt can win with his arm.

How many of you guys were predicting that JR would be in the Pro Bowl by this season.

JJ is a fine prospect and is playing well for his experience level. However, Snead is 2-0 vs JJ. LSU certainly was a damn strong football team and had a want but JJ clocked the ball.

Indeed.

Did they play one-on-one?

You missed the video of Miles CLEARLY telling him to clock it.

Take away Mallett's passing game and see how many games he can with his feet.

He's an option QB he's supposed to run. It doesn't make him any less good.

Jeez, how many games have you watched Nesbitt play? He has a horrible throwing motion and would not complete close to 45% of his passes playing for an SEC team running a balanced offense. Mallet? He is a drop back back passer with good NFL potential, certainly more upside than Nesbitt as a QB, and left UM because of his lack of mobility. Your analogy is weak at best, much like the Breport rankings.

Good thing he's a Triple Option QB.

No you just don't understand that Nesbitt's primary job is to be a runner and handle the reads for his offense.

1) This list is about college.

2) You see my point. Mallett would suck doing what Nesbitt does. Nesbitt would suck doing what Mallett does.

Ah, yes, I slightly understand how often GT runs the ball. That fact alone makes me question the ranking. His passing would be even more abysmal if D. Thomas wasn't wide open all the time due to defenses playing the run allowing poorly thrown passes to be caught. The #10 QB in the country should be as talented throwing the ball in most people's minds, he is subpar at best as a passer, whether he is proficient at running the triple option or not. He was going to Tech as a traditional QB until BJ showed up. Regardless, he might be a good RB, but I am not buying at the #10 QB position.
