Tony B, Your a good journalist and know what your talking about. However, Matthew Stafford #3? You have to be kidding? Cox at Aub had a horrific year and threw 2x the TD’s and far less INT’s. Wilson is a far superior QB but so are more than 1/2 of the honorable mentions. I agree w/ PRESEASON #1,2,4 & 5 (move JP Wilson over Teabow) but remove Stafford and leave #5 BLANK. I think all the “honorable mentions” should be left out of any Top list until at least 3-4 games into the season.

FYI, I’ll admit Stafford was a true Frosh. and cut his teeth accordingly..but Top 5 no #$ing way.

My Year End Top 5 1. Ainge (Tenn)will also be top 5 draft pick… 2. Teabow (Fla) 3. Flynn (LSU) 4. Cox (Aub) 5. Wilson (Ala) Sorry Woodson, good but bad support staff around you/to throw to.

when jay cutler went to the elite 11 camp two years ago, he spotted only one superstar whom he said would be a star in the nfl. that kid was matt stafford, not teeblow, not mustain’t.

ainge benefited from having very good wideouts last season, so let’s see what he does with inexperience out there this year.

stafford started out slowly but picked up tremendous steam. stats weren’t overwhelming, but he is a winner.

teeblow couldn’t hold matthew’s jockstrap with 5 hands. not even close. teeblow is just an overgrown fullback. harvin makes a better qb IMHO.

I think this is a pretty accurate QB rating. I’m not so concerned about Georgia’s line as I am about the game plan and Georgia’s receivers.

It was no coincidence Georgia lost last year when we got away from the run. In the 4 games we lost we ran the ball 50% of the time. We abandoned the run when it was working against Tennessee and Kentucky both.

The games we won we ran the ball an average of 60% of the time. The last 3 games we ran it 62%.

The wide receivers have truly underachieved. The number of drops was just appalling.

The O line will be fine.

For now, the list is accurate, mid-way, Ainge will show his true colors when he cant just throw it up and have great WR’s run under it.

None of the SEC QB’s is that impressive at this time. Teeblow may turn out to be impressive but really he has yet to prove himself as a starter at the college level.

As an AU fan I have to say that Brandon Cox has yet to make a believer out of me. Unless none of the recruits can play (doubtful) then he’s got about 2 games to show something or otherwise Auburn needs to look to the future. Jason Campbell got booed until he was a senior at AU and then was a first round draft pick and the future of the Washington Redskins after leading AU to a 13-0 season. Players need experience and so far Cox just hasn’t progressed from season to season. He is healthy this year so there can be no excuse for mediocrity.

By Dennis

He (Blake Mitchell)almost beat Florida last season, completing 24 of 33 passes for 275 yards. Then he goes 13 of 39 in the spring game.

That is a stupid comparison. I will take the Florida stats any day over a spring game that means nothing for a senior QB.

By Matt

July 17, 2007 12:00 PM | Link to this

The list seems accurate, except I would move JP Wilson to #3 ahead of the freshman phenoms. Stafford can make all of the throws, but his stats are less than impressive and his teamates bailed him out of his mistakes last year. Tebow has a cannon for an arm and is a very athletic QB, but I have yet to see him ‘win’ a game. Chris Leak won those games last year, not Tebow. As for JP Wilson— if Alabama’s record last year was say, 9-4 rather than 6-7, he’d be at the top of the list. He had broke all of Bama’s passing marks for a season last year, and smoked the play of Croyle during Bama’s 05’ 10-2 season.

The most talented WR set in the SEC is Bama’s, so it will be interesting to see how they do under Saban.

Hey frances, I don’t know what your smoking but Andre Woodson has his top 4 WR from last year returning as well as First Team All-SEC TE Jacob Tamme and RB Raphael Little. I don’t know if UK will be as good as last year, but Woodson comes back with more experience and talent around him. I don’t see any reason why he won’t lead the SEC again this season.

Tony B I agree with your assement for now. I think Woodson in phenominal and assuming the guys around him aren’t absolutely terrible, he should be a pretty high pick in the draft at his size.

I’m with Kendall on the Ainge thing. He’ll have a hard time w/ no Robert Meacham and a marginal running game.

Tebow was great in the Spring game and was made to run the spread option.

Mel Kiper has already said that Matt Stafford will be the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft some day. That’s pretty high praise for a guy his age.

Tony…I have great respect for the work you do but I disagree with a couple of things in here. Those 2 things are Stafford and Tebow. While I think the two have the potential to be good QB’s, They are not among the top 5 in the SEC at this point. Stafford had one very good game against AU last year, a decent game against GT and had a defense that won them their bowl game. Tebow showed he was a bruiser with some potential but what has he done to warrent himself in the top 5. Being an Alabama fan it pains me to say this, but not having Cox ahead of these guys is ridiculous. He had an injury plagued season in 06 but healthy, he is a heck of a QB. Wilson at BAMA was a 1st year starter and had a very good season but was hurt by Mike Shula’s late game play calling. I think you are right about 1 and 2 as well as Wilson but I think he is 3 or 4. At 5 I would have Nickson who is a very athletic QB who plays for a bad team…much like Woodson.

Matthew Stafford threw 7 TD’s and 13 INT’s and he is number three on your list.

Your reasoning for Brandon Cox being left off is because he threw only 14 TD’s and 9 INT’s.

He’s 19-5 as a starter in this league and beat Florida and LSU last year WHILE being injured.

The ranking right now really do not matter. After this year the talk of the NATION will be about Matt Stafford.

There is no one in the SEC that can make his throws and if he stays healthy, he will rewrite the Georgia record book for passing.The boy is big and strong and can run over you too.

Stafford is the most talented QB that Georgia has ever had right now. Last years stats would have been much better had the Georgia receivers not dropped so many passes.

With Bobo calling the plays and opening up the offense, Stafford will truly show he is the elite QB in the SEC and perhaps the entire nation this year.

I hate Florida, but have to respect Tebow. He has the receivers and coach to make him a great college QB. Urban’s system does not make his QBs throw long passes.

Win or lose it will be fun to watch.

In the last three games of last year Stafford proved that he belongs in the top three of that list. He managed those last three games and they were tough opponents. He actually took control of the offense and made things happen. Tebow didn’t get the opportunities to do that. Not to say that he couldn’t do it but he just hasn’t had the chance to. Woodson at #1, no problem with that. KY will be tougher this year. Ainge if he can stay healthy and bring along his young receivers, okay @ #2. Stafford good spot at #3. Flynn at LSU will be the suprise. I say he has a big year. He might have played back up to Russell but in that Peach Bowl game he proved that he can manage a game as well.

Tony, for now, I think the ranking are about right. If people don’t think Tebow can throw the ball then they don’t know much. JPW IS a very good QB and under Applewhite’s new system he’ll thrive. Stafford? He took his lumps but he also didn’t have Coutu for 7 games , the receivers dropped balls all the time and of course he made his own errors. In spite of everything he showed that he got ice water in his veins, he’s mentally tough and like Meyer is doing with the Reptiles, Bobo has built his offense around his best player. Stafford. I’m not wearing Red and Black glasses this morning. Stafford will end up being the best QB in the SEC IN ‘07.

Tebow will be the H-back or TE by season end. JP Wilson will be a good college QB but not a game breaker. Why hasn’t Spurrier developed a QB in three years?

Based on the facts, I’d actually have to agree w/ most of Barnhart’s QB ratings (agreeing w/ Barnhart on CFB is a rarity). Woodson (UK) has the best numbers & Ainge (TENN)could be a really good QB. He has the size but can he handle the pressure week-in & week-out? Stafford (UGA)has the most upside & will probably be the envy of the SEC by years end. He’ll also draw the biggest pay checks when the time comes. Tebow may work well in Meyer’s system, but how good is Meyer’s system gonna work in the SEC? His Defense is what carried the team last year, and the fact that Leak was there to throw in another dimension. Cox (AU) was a let-down last year, and will probably be another this year. He’ll have a few good games, but overall be just so-so. Matt Flynn (LSU) is the sleeper of the SEC. JP Wilson (ALA) is also a good QB. With the right people around him he could be really good. Blake Mitchell (SC) is only an OK QB, at best. Spurrier will make him over-achieve. Chris Nickson (VANDY) will be a decent QB, but there’s really no reason to pick him for any type of special awards.

june_baby : I can answer that question. It’s probably the same reason that schools don’t recruit white RB’s. There’s just not as many to choose from. And to me this is a racial question.

Bear in mind, this is coming from a dyed-in-the-wool Tech fan.

Stafford is not a great QB. However, he WILL be a great QB with another full season of experience. He’s an accurate passer, has a cannon for an arm, and he’s got enough elusiveness to make the first few guys miss. The only thing he needs is more experience making decisions in a game setting. Remember: he doesn’t even have a full season under his belt yet.

He’s got all of the tools to be an all-time great, but having the tools and using them are two different things. Remember: Ryan Leaf and Todd Marinovich had “all the tools” too. Not to say that I think Stafford will go off the deep end like those guys, but he’s still got to put it all together.

I live in Florida and I know all about Tebow. He beat Niceville down here almost by himself and he has a decent arm NOT as strong and as accurate as Staffords though. I have seen both play live. And if it were not for the WR’s dropping the ball last year so many times that hit them in the chest it might have been a different outcome. When Stafford throws the ball it is coming pretty darn fast…Elway Fast. My honest opinion is that Matt Stafford will be the future out of this bunch that will make it in the NFL. Tebow might go as well. But he is an awesome runner. He will take advantage of the new Scroption that has made Utah a great team while Urban Meyer was there. And do not forget that M. Richt is also one of the top coaches/recruiters in the country.

I saw the ball game with Kentucky versus Clemson and I came away impressed with Woodson. He is by far the most talented QB in the SEC and that includes Stafford. Forget what Mel Kiper said I am basing this off of my 2 eyes and those same 2 eyes saw Woodson in person hand it to GA. Yes I am a GA fan but lets be fair. Stafford has all the press but he is a long way from breaking records considering David Greene has the most wins in college football history. My estimation it is impossible for Stafford to break that record. Completion percentage was horrible so he defintely will not do that. In terms of talent the most talented QB in GA history would have to be Eric Zeir or Quincy Carter. Say what you want but these 2 could make every throw and they both were mobile. When Stafford has a 4 TD game in college and doesnt use the excuse of the receivers (name a receiver besides Hines Ward), then I will be truly impressed. I can only call it like it is but honestly receivers did not catch everything he threw but at the same time he did not exactly make all throws catchable. He has to learn when to throw it 500mph and when to use touch. That touch thing is the difference between the great ones and the also rans. John Elway hasa cannon but he also had touch. Woodson reminds me of Jason Campbell and it was scary how alike they look throwing the ball. Look for Campbell to be the best QB in the NFC this year (Yes indeed I said it).

Tebow did not impress me either but yet instead he was made to be this great QB jsut like Mustain who did nothing great but transfer to USC of all places like a Nutt (LOL). Mel Kiper ranking mean noting cause he rated Brody Croyle and Jay Cutler ahead of DJ even though DJ had the better stats (Go Figure). I believe D will succeed in the NFL when given the chance. Ainge I believe has the talent to be a good NFL QB and has showed glimpses from time to time. I cant say what Tebow and Stafford will do because they have not even showed great glimpses on the field. Winning against Auburn, GT, and VT would eman more if say he had 3-400 yards passing and 4-6 TD’s but managing the game will not get you in the NFL. Right now Stafford is all talk and not production and Tebow has shown me noting besides he can be the next Larry Csonka.

Stafford definitely has potential, but he is not all-world yet. Even in the last three games he didn’t do anything spectacular, but he did manage the games well enough to get a win. He only threw one touchdown pass in each of the last three games. Granted, the touchdown against Georgia Tech was pretty clutch, Stafford isn’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard. He shouldn’t be top 5 yet.

No argument with the rankings, but they don’t really say much either.

Woodson may very well be the best, but he’s probably not going to win the SEC or even the SEC East.

Ainge has talent but never seems to be that “into” the games. He needs to show some excitement.

Stafford had a great finish last year. The question: is the first 75% of last season indicative of his talent or is the last 25%?

No one saw Tebow have a bad game, but then again we really didn’t see much of him all year long.

Wilson may have talent, but it was obscured by a lack of coaching and a lack of a supporting team. Who knows if that will change this year?

As for my alma mater, Auburn, Cox had some really good games and some really bad games. He may step up like Jason Campbell did in his senior year, or he may have another year just like 2006. We’ll know soon enough.

Buck, in Staffords own words, its one thing to throw it hard, its another to throw it harder than you should, off the back shoulder, because you are late recognizing the play. Accourding to him, thats the biggest difference going forward. (not doing that)

The receiver can catch a hard thrown ball in high school because its in slow motion compared to the SEC and he hit them in stride. Not saying they didnt drop a few in stride, but accourding to him, he was one step late most of the year and tried to make up for it in velocity, which doesnt make for a catchable ball.

Cutcliffe also had Heath Shuler (who flopped in the NFL, but was either the number one or number two draft choice during the era when we hung nine in a row on the Dawgs). TN may lose six games this year, then again they may not lose any. No one knows at this point. But until you stop seeing things through those red and gold glasses, you may not even be able to count at the end of the season. There are four teams who could win the SEC East, and GA is only one of them. As far as a td loss to the Dawgs, might happen, might not.

For you UGA guys that are already annointing Stafford the next great UGA quarterback, just remember that while he has incredible potential, your praises are based on three games. After 3 games back in 2003, Reggie Ball looked like a future star as well (although he was a star for Georgia).

The fact that Tony B has Tebow and Stafford in his top 5 just illustrates the lack of experience at the QB position in the SEC. Most of them are going to be relying very heavily on their supporting casts, which in that conference, isn’t a bad thing.

I’m think Flynn and Mitchell are going to come from nowhere and have monster years…just a preseason guess.

Great Post. This says it all.

AS a QB you must take the good with the bad cause there were lots of balls that receivers made good plays on that go down as a good play for the QB. Mark Brunell set the NFL completion record but he threw one ball over 10 yards teh whole game. That is how stats can be diluted by the press cause he had 300 yards but most of the yards came because of runs after the catch. Did the Ga receivers drop some passes, of course they did but name one QB that did not have the same problem. Blake Barnes would be talking about hw he beat Auburn if not for a dropped pass by his receiver so Stafford was rigth on point.

I guarantee all you doubting Tebow are the same fools who on the AJC blogs said Urban Meyer and Chris Leak would never win an SEC or National Title.

Like I said earlier Stafford will be great but Tebow has a MUCH better cast of playmakers around him. That will be the difference, not who’s more talented or better suited for the NFL.

Thanks, Matt Dooley. The future of the Falcons is now clear. They need to sign Stafford tonight. After the sensational freshman year he had there is no reason he should not be an NFL QB immediately.

By Ta-dow Please

Ta-dow says “Tebow has proved absolutely nothing except he can run a QB draw”. How about completing 66.7% of his attempts last year (22 or 33) with only 1 interception and 0 sacks? How about being a key contributor to winning SEC and National Titles (and beating UGA)? I would say he proved a lot considering the plays Urban Meyer let him throw. Stafford proved he can lift kegs over his head at Talladega, lose 4 games, throw 13 interceptions, get sacked 12 times, and have a 52.7% completion rate (wow, he proved a lot). Oh yeah, Tebow owns the Florida state prep football records for total offense (12,960), career passing yards (9,940), touchdowns (159) and completed passes (631)…Also owns single season state records in total offense (5,552), passing yards (4,286), touchdown passes (46) and total touchdowns (70)…don’t worry, the full proof of Tebow as a starting QB is right around the corner and all you dawgs can talk as much as you want; it makes it so much more enjoyable seeing all the red pants leaving Alltel Stadium early after another great Gator Victory…

Atltyger,

Cox has never been labeled as light on his feet. I don’t think the lack of injuries would have made any difference in his foot speed.

Cox is a decent QB cause he usually doesn’t make mistakes. He will not play a down in the NFL but will be remembered as an avg college QB.

Ainge is overrated; he and fat Phil are not going to do well this year.

Stafford and Tebow are high on talent, low on experience. They may be the future bests in the SEC but not this year.

Cox is high on experience and has finally overcome an injury to his back ankle. He was sick and injured last year, so his previous year stats are a better judgment of him. Cox should be in the top 5.

Wilson may be good if he has any support from the rest of his team. We’ll see if Saban is the second coming of Christ, as proclaimed in T-town.

I notice the statement- “Here is one man’s ranking of the top five quarterbacks in the SEC heading into the 2007 season.” Until I see another mans rankings today, Tony’s looks pretty good. Here is mine:

Woodson Stafford Parker Wilson Tebow Ainge For the Tech folks that get on here, why do you? Is it because no one from UGA comes to your blogs? Just curious.

Bill plenty of Dawg fans get on Tech’s blog as well and say some pretty horrendous and outrageous dribble. Now as far as the ranking of SEC QB’s. These are only opinions and mean nothing at this point, but do make for some lively banter between fans.

IMO based on last year Woodson, Ainge, and Wilson deserve to be in the top 5. As for Stafford and Tebow both are very talented guys and if they play like they are capable then they will wind up the year in the top five if not the top 2.

You and your grammar are another indication of the types of people who support Vick. Let me explain something to you…dog fighting is a “felony” which makes it a “federal” crime, which means the “Feds” can investigate if they want to. Understood?

“2N4YEARS” @ 2:22pm Unfortunately, color has mattered and will continue to long after you are gone, my friend. Why? This is America, which purposely embedded color into its very foundation so it should come as no surprise that it translates into today as far as stereotypes and perceptions and that includes sports. An example is what “june_baby” was referencing.

“june_baby @ 1:39pm” No disrespect intended but it sounds like you need a history lesson, my friend. There is no room to begin here but be mindful that stereotypes adversely affect “blacks” and “whites”. The “white” RB or LB who is asked to change positions, usually to fullback, and the “black” QB who is asked to switch to DB or Receiver usually face those situations due to stereotyping (not all cases but most). Contrary to what 2N4years stated, there are a lot of “white” RBs but a “white” guy running 4.5 is not viewed as a “black” guy running a 4.5 even though they are the same. I’ve got to stop there and state that Matthew Stafford is more overrated than Ohio State times Notre Dame so stop making excuses for him.

And to brooke. Stafford probably chose UGA over those other schools you mentioned because his father is an alumni of the school.

Plus Georgia does have a nice track record of being ranked. Over the last 10 years UGA is the ONLY school to finish in the to 25 each year, five of those years in the top 10. Tech can’t say that. Texas can’t say that. USC can’s say that. UF can’t say that. No, UGA hasn’t cleared the hurdle and taken a National Championship in that time, but you can never accuse the school of being over-rated. In the last 10 years even the bad years have landed UGA among the elite in the nation. I would say that is good reason to say you are proud to be a ‘Dawg!

You can hang on to your “nice try”. I did a little Internet research a while back, so I know that most of Tebow’s scores were as a result of either Leak or a turnover. As to your “only 3” assertion, it was easy enough to look up that he had at least 5 from inside the 3 yard line (1 yard vs. Southern Miss, 2 yard vs. Alabama, 1 yard vs. LSU, 1 yard run vs. Western Carolina and 1 yard vs. Ohio State).

There’s no way Stafford and Tebow should be in the top 5 (especially Tebow). Cox and Nickson should be moved into the top 5 with Stafford and Tebow being honorable mention. You can’t rate people on potential but on what they have achieved. Even though Ugag won the last 3 games, except for the AU game Stafford really didn’t do much, and even in that game the Ugag defense was the real difference, stifling the AU offense and putting the Ugag offense in good field position. Tebow was a 2nd stringer that got most of his PT and pub inside the 10 yard line after Leak had driven th team down the field. They may both play lights out this year, but until they do, unless the QB’s in the SEC are just that weak, neither deserves to be in the top 5. By the way, Mel Kiper saying Stafford will be the top pick this far in advance is like Beano Cook saying Ron Paulos was going to win 3 Heismans.

What Ainge has going for him is experience in readability. The two step-drop and fling to a WR is practically indefensable. Pass-catch puts the ball in a play makers hands. Many a first down comes that way. That is the objective. Ball control…and on the deep ball, Ainge ain’t bad. It’s up to recievers to get there. I believe Ainge will have to tutor his inexperienced WR’s as to where they need to be because that’s where the ball is going. He may have to throw away a few before the youngsters and he gel, but youth has a way of surprising the naysayers…I also get the feeling UT will employ a Cobb-Webb type of running attack in 2007. Don’t be tooooo shocked to see a double back set of TB’s from time to time, if for no other reason then to confuse the D…Cut is a sly ol’ fox and he and Ainge gee-haw…WR’s, secondary and PK need all the attention they can get to rise up…

2N4YEARS, my intellect extends waaaaay beyond sports. I suppose I shall entertain you.

As an example, I could merely reference the 3/5 rule, which was/is in the Constitution but I will state, which is fact, that the U.S. government supported/endorsed slavery from 1774-1865 and Jim Crow up until the mid-60’s. The common denominator/prerequisite in it all is COLOR. Granted, the “founding fathers” of America were not all for slavery/racists but the bottom line is that the Constitution (3/5) is proof that COLOR is embedded in the very foundation of America. When the opportunity to eradicate that thought process presented itself, it was passed upon. Today’s proof of that mouth-breathing leg-humping level of thought permeating its way through generations is the use of the highly inaccurate terms “black” (brownish) and “white” (pinkish) to describe certain people’s color. Asians, Latinos, and the like are not referred to as “yellows” and “tans”, respectively. They are recognized by their country of origin (e.g., Chinese, Portuguese, etc.). Yet, that should come as no surprise because again, color is embedded into the very foundation of America. You actually perpetuate it by denying that fact and please enlighten us if any of the above is not truth.

“Whites” can jump, shoot, dance, and run but due to the fact that their physical prowess for such a long period of time was not valued, it is viewed as atypical. On the other hand, “blacks” were historically prized solely for their entertainment value and physicality. Smarts were not an option as they faced death if it were found they could read. Therefore, a “black” individual who is smart is seen as atypical even today (i.e., he’s articulate). Unfortunately, this has skewed people’s perceptions. As I stated earlier, sadly a “white” guy running a 4.5 is not seen as fast as a “black” guy running a 4.5 for that very reason. In regards to the many “white” running backs (& linebackers), you will find them mainly in high schools, which is where you will also find a high number of “black” quarterbacks. Yet, transitioning to college many are asked to switch to positions, such as fullback and db/receiver, respectively. Transitioning to the NFL, “black” QBs or even those who exhibit “their traits”, such as scrambling (e.g., Matt Jones from Arkansas) are asked to play receiver/db. Not all people asked to switch in college fall under that umbrella but I’m skeptical of NFL teams that ask proven QBs to switch. And even the lingo is skewed. For example, Jamarcus Russell played at a top football program (LSU) in the top conference (SEC), and consistently put up gaudy numbers against ridiculously stiff competition. Brady Quinn consistently tanked against the best competition he faced. Yet most “draft experts” only made references to Russell’s size, while Quinn consistently received praise of being “smart” and a “thinker in the pocket”. I personally say they’re both huge and smart but Russell separated himself via his performance against quality competition (thankfully Oakland had their wits about them).

Yes, I do agree with MLK but I must point out that his beliefs arise from what I touched on in the first paragraph (i.e., cause and effect), which you so conveniently overlooked. Also, my personal beliefs are that a winner is a winner but unfortunately in America, color does still matter because it is embedded into the foundations of America. Feel free to mosey on over to the blog about MV7 and scroll through, while picking out catchphrases (i.e., thug, low-life, etc.) if you need more current proof. Also, I could bombard you with a list of books but I’m sure I’ve gone over my time and it is just past midnight. Therefore, I will leave you with the link below to provide you an alternative perspective that I’m sure you did not learn in school (or it was probably an airbrushed version). It is a six part BBC series so don’t forget to watch the other 5 (youtube). 2N4YEARS, you have a good night and before I forget, Columbus did not discover America, my friend.

Always entertaining.

A few responses:

SW—Cannot dispute your post. Well-written and accurate. MLK was right in that men should be judged by the content of their character, but unfortunately the world is full of people who are too ignorant to see beyond skin color.

Brooke—Just move away. Really. We don’t want you here. Take your friends with you, if you have any. The idea that Stafford “would have gone to a better football school” if he were the nation’s top-rated QB is intentionally inflammatory and inaccurate. Calvin Johnson went to Georgia Tech, a school not exactly known for its offensive firepower, and he was one of the top receivers in the country in high school. The top DT in the country last year, Marvin Austin, signed with North Carolina, a basketball school. The list goes on and on. The best athletes don’t always just line up to sign with the defending national champs. Stafford signed with Georgia because of the ability to play for a top football program in the best football conference in America (you really can’t dispute that no matter what planet you came from), a program that ranks in the top 15 all-time in wins and in the top 10 in America over the Mark Richt era. He signed because Mark Richt has a huge reputation for QB development (Charlie Ward, Chris Weinke, David Greene, DJ Shockley, to name a few). And he signed with Georgia because, quite frankly, he knew he’d be “the man.” And he is.

So please do us all a favor and move back to Detroit, or Pennsylvania, or whatever other economically-depressed hellhole you came from. The best days of the South are ahead of us, not behind us. If you’re not able to assimilate, you don’t belong here.

Here’s a tip, though: if you want to get ahead in the business world, don’t run your mouth about how you did things up north. Don’t make fun of people’s accents and imply that, because people “down here” talk differently than you, they are somehow less intelligent. And for God’s sake don’t denigrate a man’s (or a woman’s)football team. That could cost you your job. Because the odds are overwhelming that at least one, if not more than one, of the people your job depends upon is a Georgia graduate.

Now, to address the issue of this article:

Woodson is the best QB in the SEC. He has the tools and the stats. No one can really dispute that. And he’ll be a first-rounder unless something catastrophic happens.

Ainge has to be number two. He’s a senior, and had a great season last year. He’s tall, has an excellent delivery, and accurate.

Even though I’m a Dawg fan, I’d have to put John Parker Wilson third, primarily on the basis of production. Stafford may have the superior physical tools, but he needs to show me he’s learned not to try to force the ball into coverage. JPW is the only reason Alabama went to a bowl game last season. With a lesser QB, they might have been 4-7.

Stafford is fourth currently. He may move up by season’s end, but that will have to be based on production. He has a ton of potential, but that and 25 cents won’t even buy you a cup of coffee.

Tebow is fifth, again based on a lack of production. Yeah, he ran the ball a lot. He had to (so did Percy Harvin), because the Gators had no running backs.And yeah, he completed 67% of his passes against the Little Sisters of the Poor, but that was not against SEC defenses in big games. The dude was backed up by a national title team! He may end up being the best QB ever to grace the field of play since God himself suited up for Notre Dame one fine Saturday a few decades ago. But see the Stafford commentary about potential. Stafford gets the nod over Tebow here because he’s actually started an SEC game.

Matt Flynn will make some noise no matter what because of who he plays for. The Tigers have the best talent in the SEC. Also, the fact that he can hold off the talent behind him says a lot. Plus, he’s played in (and won) some big games for them—the Peach Bowl against Miami comes to mind.

Brandon Cox is an enigma. He’s had some great games and some truly terrible ones (The Tech game his first year; the Georgia game last year). He won’t play in the NFL, but if he could be consistent, he could be quite effective for Auburn, given their emphasis on the run.

Blake Mitchell is a mediocre QB in a great system. Danny Wuerffel he ain’t. (Sorry, Brooke—Danny Wuerffel he is not. He is not Danny Wuerffel. No one mistakes him for Danny boy, that old cuss who used to be the Florida QB under Spurrier back in the day.)

The rest? Really, not relevant. Ole Miss and Mississippi State will be bad no matter what. Casey Dick wouldn’t start for anyone in the SEC except Ole Miss or Mississippi State. Vandy’s QB is actually pretty good, but he does not have the personnel to make a dent in these rankings (Kentucky does, by the way—they probably have the best receiver in the SEC).

That’s it. One man’s take. Fire away.

I’m not “outraged” by Matt’s ranking. After all it’s still just someone’s opinion, of which we all possess. Aren’t you glad you didn’t have to pay eight bucks for a magazine to find out?His ranking seems to be about right anyway. Although, he definitely displayed some mettle and moxie last year, especially in the last three games, I’ve yet to be impressed by the “pinpoint” passing that was advertised. But there’s more to it than just throwing. It was his first year, so he definitely gets a pass on some of the finer QB skills. Reading defenses is particularly near and dear to my heart. And there’s nothing to suggest that he won’t learn and practice those things. I look forward to a very successful season. Can’t wait actually.

sw : ‘my intellect extends waaaaay beyond sports. I suppose I shall entertain you.’ Thanks, but no thanks. You’re not entertaining me. Talk college Football. That would entertain me. This is a CFB site. Just so I can help guide you back to reality, the original question I was answering was from ‘By june_baby’, and he asked “My questions is why do the sec schools continue to not recruit the black qb’s”. My answer, as stated above, was that black QB’s are not recruited for the same reason that white RB’s are not recruited. That’s a fact. There’s no need to go off on some l-o-n-g history lesson here. Let’s not make this about anything other than CFB. You said that there ‘plenty’ of white RB’s, and I said name them. You have failed to do so. Instead you have gone off into ‘History’, which I might add, is probably from a slanted view to direct people toward your agenda. I’m done with this subject. If you want to talk CFB I’ll listen. I’ve wasted enough time on this subject.

Matt, everyday you come on this blog and start blasting UT.I notice that you never seem to have much to say about other teams. To be honest with you, folks in Knoxville don’t really care very much about Georgia. We’re far more concerned with the FLA. or Bama game every year. Honestly, until Richt got there UGA was pretty much a gimme. Eight in a row until 2000. You guys have won 3 in a row In Knox Vegas, but we’ve won two in a row in Athens and played the 02 game with our third string QB. And the 04 game was won by Ainge as a freshman who outplayed Greene and Shockley.In any # of quantifiable terms that you want to use, UT has outproduced GA over the lat ten years, except for SEC championships. You’re constant belittling of a team that has outplayed you makes you look like an idiot. Plus we’ve won 50% of our games vs Florida over the last six years, played Notre Dame, Miami, Cal. out of conference…… For the love of God, just shut up.

Brandon Cox (Auburn)is at best mediocre - this last year he showed very little mobility to evade defensive pressure and most of time would take a sack rather than even attempt to scramble out of the pocket. He appeared “flustered” in many of the critical games and I hope Auburn coaching will look at dual playing a QB with improved athletic ability this year.

mitchel will win this year,or he will sit down. spurrier is noted for pulling qbs out of a game when they don’t produce,soon after he tosses the visor. i think the ratings are about right,stafford has the nfl arm,if he has learned the finer points of his position he will be rated much higher at the end of the year. he[stafford]looks a little heavy to me,i hope he is puting the work in to improve himself. the qb is the leader,he can’t afford fatigue,fatigue leads to mistakes. ainge has the size,and the talent,but he has always seemed,at least to me,to lack something,maybe his unclea fire. woodson is good no doubt,but will be judged on his teams wins,not fair,but thats the way it is. a qb can have a lousy game,and win,and be considered great,while a good qb on a losing team gets lttle credit.does anyone doubt that cutler would have been drafted much higher if he had played for a winning team with a better tradition?

I think it is a fair assessment of Ainge and Woodson proving themselves a high ranking due to their play as an effecient signal caller last season with or without stats. Tebow “The Raging Bull” and Stafford the “gun slinger” will get their chance this season as the main man, but they have yet to prove it over the course of a full season(Tebow did well as a plug in situational player). But don’t be surprised if Cox, Parker, Flynn, or even a Gamecock QB has a better season than all of the above.

I think Chris Nickson at Vandy will have a break out year. He will have the SEC’s top receiver in Earl Bennett and an all senior offensive line. This is the team that beat Georgia in Athens last year. They should be a lot better this year. Nickson is a true dual threat quarterback. Don’t be surprised when they beat Alabama to open their SEC season.

to say the sec does not recruit black qbs is wrong. the sec has some of the highest paid coaches in the country. to keep their job they have to win. they will recruit the players that will help them win,period. jones was a runing qb,[white],while neither leek or russell[black],were known for their running ability. uga has a new qb coming in this year that is fast,he may be switched to se,not because he is a dual threat,but because they want to get him on the field as soon as possible and uga has three top 25 qbs ahead of him. by the way,he is white. i would also mention shockley at uga was coached by mark richt,and the fact that richt coached charlie ward at fsu and ward won the heisman. it is true that mustain,stafford,and tebow are all white and signed to play in the sec,it is also true that they were the top three qbs in the country.

Tebow’s lack of experience will cost Gators bigtime, but look out next year. A healthy Brandon Cox will put him in the top 5. Ainge and Woodson have the tools, but are not winners. John Parker Wilson will surprise and defeat some favored teams. Stafford will be great in another year. Mitchell will probably get beat out again. Nickson is dangerous, watch for some upsets from Vandy. Matt Flynn is key for LSU, but he’s not Jamarcus Russell.

7 TDs 13 INTs

I do not care whether or not you are a true freshman or not, those are not encouraging numbers. Stafford is going to be a solid QB, but there is no reason at this point to believe he is going to be the next Zier.

As for the impressive 3 wins that Stafford led UGA to at the end of the season, those victories were a result of great defensive play by UGA and had little to nothing to do with Stafford.

Horrible logic by Tony.

By Jeremy

July 18, 2007 2:22 PM | Link to this

IMF, of course you can look at potential. Tebow has potential and had decent numbers although they were not as good as other QBs. But this isn’t high school recruiting where you rate guys on potential. This is college football and the SEC. All of these guys expcet for Flynn have played a year in the SEC. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever for Stafford other than potential. It’s crap. JP Wilson is rated a little too high as well. Both JP Wilson and Mitchell have the same amount of experience. And BM is slightly better at this point.

I will ask you one question. If the #13 and 14 ranked QBS in the NCAA are #1 and 2 in the SEC, explain how the #15 ranked QB is 8th in the SEC? Look at the rest of the passer efficiency rankings. How is #91 ranked 3rd in the SEC? Potential or not, it’s crap.

“Tebow’s lack of experience”

No doubt he does not have as much experience as some of the other SEC QBs, but he played a lot of downs in critical situations throughout the season last year. How many other SEC QBs have played in a SECCG and BCS Championship game? Never mind throwing for and running for TDs in those games.

By Jeremy

July 18, 2007 2:38 PM | Link to this

BTU, let me say this. If Tebow starts in the game against USC, Florida is not in the SECCG or the BCS game. Heck, if Jarvis Moss was suspended for that game rather than Western Carolina (what a great disciplinarian Meyer is!), Florida doesn’t beat USC either. Tebow road the coat tails of Leak and that defense. Let’s not hype him up as the reason UF was natioanl champs. He played a minor role for Florida last year and helped out a few plays here and there.

By IMF

July 18, 2007 2:59 PM | Link to this

Jeremy, Are you talking about Barnhart’s rankings for the 8th QB in the SEC? I’m not sure he was ranking the honorable mention QBs.

I’m not sure if you’re saying we should pr shouldn’t use potential in ratings (you have conflicting statements on that). It’s my opinion that you should look at stats, interpret those stats based on circumstances, and mix in a little bit of potential for ranking college QBs. You’re right that college isn’t high school, but it also isn’t the NFL where we have 7-10 years of a QB to see what he’s done. Eventually, we’ll have a pretty good resume to look at for Stafford, but guys like Flynn or DJ Shockley you can’t just look at stats/resume to project QB rankings.

As for Stafford, I think his performance at the end of the year is enough to justify his ranking mixed in with his extreme potential. His performance early/mid season is about what you’d expect from any true freshman that had to split 1st-team practice snaps and playing time with two other guys. And likewise, his performance late season is what you’d expect from a highly touted QB prospect.

Since we are offering “opinions” here. John Parker Wilson is the best of the bunch. I can’t believe you put him at 5. He benefited from having Shula as a QB coach and will THRIVE under Saban. I might add that any QB with Spurrier as ‘head ball coach’ should be placed in a top 5 list. He is a master of maximizing an athlete’s potential (like him or hate him).

Barnhart, to accurately put together a best QB list…you need to ask yourself (assuming you’re the coach) “Who would I want to take the snaps in my most important game of the year?”. Of all the SEC QBs, you’re telling me that Andre Woodson would be your guy? Seriously? Athletic, sure..maybe…but, has he ever led UK to a big win? What about Stafford? Would you really take him over John Parker Wilson, or Brandon Cox (who has won more big games in the SEC than any of these jokers). How on earth is Tebow 4th here? This kid hasn’t even led an offensive drive yet, let alone a game. Come on! To add - - somehow, Cox’s 14 TD performance warrants an “honorable mention” ranking…despite the fact that he won 11 games last year (INJURED!) and 9 games in ‘05. Stafford was as inconsistent as anyone last season…threw less TD’s. What’s up with that? I expected more from you.

“Boy, did you even watch a minute of those games?”

Watched every minute of all three of the games. Here is a recap of the games as it is obvious that you did not watch them.

• Auburn - Auburn completely came apart and Brandon Cox threw 4 INTs (3 inside Aubs 35 and 1 inside Aubs 45 - one was returned for a TD) against Georgia last year. Stafford’s only job was not to turn the ball over.

• Georgia Tech - IF ONLY REGGIE BALL COULD THROW! UGA D scored one TD and Stafford led UGA to a game winning TD at the end of the game, but the UGA offense did nothing in the previous 3.5 quarters.

• Virginia Tech - Va Tech had a big lead and then completely imploded in the second half … 4 turnovers … 2 INTs at midfield … a fumble inside their own 20 … and an INT inside their own 15 by Va Tech let UGA back in the game. UGA had all of 200 yds offense. What part of Staffords 9-21 for 121 yards and 1 TD/1 INT are we supposed to be impressed with?

No selective memory on my part. I do recall the one pass over 50 yards that Stafford completed on the first drive of the game. Whoohoo! Pass him the Heisman.

I also recall the 39 yard run by Stafford deep into Auburn’s territory. I also recall that Stafford fumbled the ball at the end of the run and that Auburn recovered. I also recall that it was in the third quarter and that UGA was up 30-7 and Auburn had been out of the game at halftime due to Tra Battle picking off three Cox passes in the first half returning one for a TD and returning the other two to setting up 10 more UGA points by giving the offense an extremely short field to work with.

While it was likely Stafford’s best game, the fact remains that Tra Battle and the rest of the UGA defense dominated Auburn and that was the story of the game.

Seeing as how neither UGA or TENN have to play that D, those QBs should survive and do well, although I believe Stafford will do better, Ainge lost receivers. What was that guy who said Bama had the best WRs smokin, it wasn’t legal. I’m not sure Woodson will make it out that well either with their schedule, but its hard to predict how well anyone will do with the defenses that are in the SEC. Flynn is definitely the sleeper, seeing as how there was a constant debate amongst the coaches as to who was better, he or this years #1 pick in Russell, that says a lot…

It is ridiculous to assert anyone other than Woodson is the best QB in the conference, and more ridiculous to question whether he will have anyone to catch the ball. The only legitimate question is whether UK’s offensive line will deliver.

Tony is not too different from a lot of posters at AJC. He couldn’t find it in himself to complement Woodson without taking a backhand swipe at UK.
