🏈 Sporting News ranks the top 25 QB's of 2017. (Tide may face six this fall.)

[TerryP]

22. Arkansas - Austin Allen
19. Ole Miss - Shea Patterson
16. Auburn - Jarrett Stidham
13. Mississippi State - Nick Fitzgerald
11. Florida State - Deondre Francois

Georgia's Eason is listed, but that'll have to wait.

This may be the best group of QB's faced in the Saban era.

College football's Top 25 quarterbacks for 2017: Lamar Jackson or Sam Darnold at No. 1?

They had Hurts at no 3? That's impressive. When was the last time Bama had a QB that ranked so high? Hope he has a great season.

I think Austin Allen is more of a gamer than Patterson, Stidham, Eason, and maybe even Fitzgerald. Eason is garbage and still throws off his back foot as if he's in high school and can squeeze those in there, just watch G-Day. Stidham has never seen a defense, so until he proves me wrong I'm saying he will not "shine" like Auburn fans are spewing, Patterson has no weapons, and Fitzgerald is good and fun to watch, but no weapons and a full year taking the hits we'll see what he's got.

?!? I thought for sure Tua was going to relegate Hurts to the bench.


:sarcasm:



Stidham and Patterson...When they play a few tough defenses, I might change my opinion about them.

Tua is on the way Way WAY too early 2018 list.
