Also...lets not act like hitting on 2 QBs in 5 years is a negative.

**** you know how many NFL teams would KILL for that sort of success rate? A lot more goes into it than just talent, system fit, location, teammates, coaches, maturity, etc. great example Daniel Jones 6 years with the Giants and was pretty much considered a bust and just an average QB at best. Now just 3 games with the Colts and so far a completely different narrative.

Geno Smith = bust for the Jets, gets with Pete and suddenly a different narrative.

With college its even more difficult IMO to land a truly great QB. And if the NFL struggles like they do with 3+ years of college and film of guys then image how much more difficult it is with thousands of kids all over the country. Very few HS teams play more than 1 or 2 other good teams in an entire season, if at all and some of these good QBs that are basically average college players put up video game numbers.

Baker Mayfield is another one who was a total bust at the crappy Browns, but then he goes to the Bucs and looks good. Teams make the QB more often than the QB makes the team I think.

The takeaway for me is not that the media sucks at their job, it is just that this preseason stuff is impossible and pointless.

No serious person would have put Aguilar at the top of this list. Heupel himself hooked up to a lie detector would not have put Aguilar on top of this list.

Yes, Sellers and Lagway are terrible and I think a lot of us knew they were terrible. But you're still left with the task of replacing them on the list.

Most of the media just doesn't do their research anymore though. Just talking heads.

I wouldn't have put JA at the top of the list, but I certainly wouldn't have put him last. I was excited to see him perform because I knew JH's system would cut down the INT's. Plus, the stats were out there that JA was a proficient passer of the deep ball. Use the facts and history, and apply it to the current situation. Media doesn't do that anymore.

Apparently Mississippi State's defense is all about taking away the deep ball.

They are 14th in the country in passing yards allowed giving up only 129 yards a game.

They're longest completion given up is 37 yards.

That being said, we are by far the best passing offense they have played so far.

So they’ll play a shell, umbrella coverage forcing Joey to hit underneath routes.
LFG!!

A little bit of perspective:

Against ASU, Leavitt got hurt, and they ended up running the ball so well in the second half that they only threw for 82 yards the entire game.

ASU ran for 250 yards against them

I could be wrong, I don't think they have been tested yet through the air

They are the equivalent to gossip columnist. So many of these cfb media guys have zero ability to talk x’s and o’s.

Alcorn, enough said
NIU is one of the worst offenses in FBS so far.
Southern Miss with 80 new players

And ASU who just ran for 250+ instead.



I think their defense can be had big time. Also last week a starting LB didnt play and not sure where he is at currently. Also the safety Manning may or may not play.
