Athlon ranks Guarantano 62nd best QB in NCAA

[VOLywood]

Interesting to look at these rankings. Assuming Guarantano wins out over Dormady, it's hard to think there are 60+ better college QBs. I would think Guarantano or Dormady either one would be top 30 or so, even with lack of experience.

Interesting side note - Torrance Gibson, starting QB for Cincinnati via JUCO, is ranked 106.

You'd put them top 30 based on what?

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Nobody... including vols fans... knows what to think of QD because he had been kept under wraps and in the shadows. All we know is he is a well developed pro style QB.

I guess they both would be our best kept secrets for those who solely glean their college football info from Athlon's.

 

[77' Vol]

Should be motivation for both of them to go out there and kick some ass this year!

 

[YankeeVol]

Ranking a guy who has never played a snap is a crapshoot.

 

[Mathias]

He hasn't even played yet...

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He hasn't even played yet...

Exactly

The young man has never taken a collegiate snap. In fairness, how does he get a rating over others who have?

 

[GoVolunteers]

Complete guesswork and means nothing

 

[njvols]

Not saying they're right or wrong (cough)...but, same people who said we UT would win SEC E... and had us ranked #7.

"Tennessee is the clear favorite in the SEC East and a legitimate playoff contender."

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Anyone who hasn't played is irrelevant. Torrance Gibson could end up being a Heisman candidate as could Dormady. Who knows.

 

[RoxyVol]

How in the world can you rank ANY quarterback before they take their first snap in a college game??

 

[ManningBerry#1]

How can you even grade that?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Completely useless ranking.

Prob the same thing Athlon used to put G at 62 ... smoke and mirrors. I'd say one ranking is about as solid as the other. :unsure:

 

[wildorange]

Way to early to rank anybody much less QB's that haven't had any playing time. Rankings at this point are a joke, good grief it's comical. GBO!!!

 

[ManningBerry#1]

If that's the case I'll rank Athlon at the bottom of all credible information.

 

[vol-un-tear]

Surprised considering he hasn't played a down

 

[BruisedOrange]

The article says more about the need to fill the insatiable maw of college football fandom 365 days a year. Pity the poor intern who was tasked with selecting & defining the factors, then entering the data into the Excel file that produced this off-season speculatory.

They probably enticed his services by showing him the old issues with "Honey Watching" articles.

 

[YorkVol]

Nobody... including vols fans... knows what to think of QD because he had been kept under wraps and in the shadows. All we hope is he is a well developed pro style QB.

Fixed

 

[dcm3w]

I'll never pick up Athlon ever again because the last time I did was for the 2005 season when we had predictions to win the NC and you know how that turned out.

 

[MiramarVol]

Produce on the field and your position WILL rise.

 

[feathersax]

If that's the case I'll rank Athlon at the bottom of all credible information.

It's what they do at Athlon. Useless rag. :hi:

Hard to think there are 60+ better college QBs? Why? The kid hasn't so much as taken a single snap in a intrasquad scrimmage game.

For crying out loud. Look, I hope we can look back in 2-3 years and say he was the #1 QB in college football....but as of now, a kid, any kid, who's never taken a snap in a college football game has no business being on that or any other list. Everybody needs to slow their roll here.
