I would love to know how you can rank someone that hasn't starter a game? I know that 2,3,5 played last year, I don't remember about 4,6,7,8,9? We all know about Ty.

SEC sure appears to be wealthy at QB spot.

Good morning. I'm not ranking them at all. I just listed all of the sec QB for no reason. Feel free to rank them as you see fit.

Yes I knew you didn't rank them, but I just can't rank someone for mop up duties.

Tank them based on potential and what you think could potentially be this year.

 

[BAMAneck]

First year starters shouldn’t be in the rankings.

Lots of tools and great size, but was a Freshman too.

Lagway is a special talent. If he stays healthy and keeps developing, he’s a 1st round/all American talent.

Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina
DJ Lagway, Florida
Marcel Reed, Texas A&M

Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt
Taylen Green, Arkansas

John Mateer, Oklahoma
Arch Manning, Texas
Gunner Stockton, Georgia
Ty Simpson, Alabama

It's hard for me to rank anyone that hasn't thrown the ball more than 100 times in this league in the top 4.

With that in mind, I don't understand how anyone can say Manning is better than Nussmeier, Sellers or Lagway at this point. He hasn't really done anything yet. His name appears to be the thing that keeps him highly ranked. Now, I might eat my words at the end of the season, but at this point.....no way he's a top 4 qb in the SEC yet. Same with Stockton and Simpson. Both are completely unproven.

I also think Sellers has the potential to be the best qb in the SEC at seasons end.

Manning did start few games last year. We saw limited body of work.

You are correct. Still isn't proven. He sat behind a 7th round draft pick in Quinn Ewers. Not saying Ewers wasn't good, but I still don't buy into the Arch Manning all world talk yet.

Ewers dropped into 7th because of injuries history.

Ewers dropped into 7th because of injuries history.

He did.

I think Manning can be really good, but I refuse to rank him in the top 4. Not until he's showing it on the field.

Good topic and question... IMO, while the SEC as a whole lacks an elite QB as of now, as a whole, top to bottom, I'm not sure I ever remember it being this stacked with quality QB's and QB's with as much potential. Ranking them is difficult, there's many ways you can do it and at least with mine, the rankings would differ significantly each time. Rank them on potential? Rank them on where they stand as of now? Rank them as if you were picking a QB from the league to start for your own team? I'll do it this way.... I'll rank them with a blend of how they stand now + their overall potential.

1. LaNorris Sellers
2. Garrett Nussmeier
3. DJ Lagway
4. Arch Manning
5. John Mateer
6. Austin Simmons
7. Taylen Green
8. Ty Simpson
9. Jackson Arnold
10. Marcell Reed
11. Gunner Stockton
12. Diego Pavia
13. Blake Shapen
14. Zach Calzada
15. Beau Pribula
16. Joey Aguilar

Ohh, I like this. Seller isn't nothing to sneeze at. He's hell..

 

[TerryP]

When I see a QB with 1:2 TD:INT ration againts Tulane ... when I see 12:9 for the season...put me in the corner of wait and see. Literally, he had one SEC game that was a sold performance last year: Ole Miss.

Lagway.
