UPDATE: QB Malik Zaire officially a Gator

[Gator Fever]

Zaire has never turned the ball over or lost a game he started. ND threw that other guy in there who padded his stats against patsies and proceeded to go 4-8. Zaire beat the SEC's top ranked defense in the Bowl game.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

Malik Zaire stats that matter:
6 foot, zero.

Some list him at 6'1" but if he is a true 6 foot that puts him up there with a lot of successful college QBs.

 

[aka]

Just wondering, why were some slobbering for Stidham but Zaire gets the cold shoulder? From the standpoint of grad transfer, I realize they are different.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

SEC projected starting QBs.
Danny Etling 6'2"
Kellen Mond 6'3"
Feleipe Franks 6'6"
Quinten Dormady 6'4"
Kyle Shurmur 6'4"
Drew Barker 6'3"
Drew Lock 6'4"
Nick Fitzgerald 6'5"
Jake Bentley 6'4"
Jacob Eason 6'5"
Shea Patterson 6'2"
Jalen Hurts 6'2"
Austin Alen 6'1"
Jarrett Stidham 6'3"

Average 6' 3.5"

At 5'12" he's a midget. Plus in three seasons at ND he couldn't win the starting job. I couldn't be less impressed.

Tell that to Chris Leak and Rex Grossman...

A lot of those QBs are terrible, so what's your point?

He beat LSU with like 90 passing yards. Thats like saying treon beat Georgia that year we threw 6 passes.

Lol because stidham is a stud and Zaire is a bum. Pretty simple.

QBs are tall.

 

[MertzJay26]

QBs are tall.

That's not a requirement brah. Plenty of 6 foot QBs have had success in college. The list you shared contains a bunch of tall, crappy QBs

More good QBs are tall than are short.

Those numbers give Saban, Mushchump, Smart, Butters and Nusschump an erection.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

QBs are tall.

Danny Wuerffel, Eric Kresser, Doug Johnson, Jesse Palmer, Rex Grossman, Brick Berlin, Chris Leak (and a thousand other Qbs) say hello.

Every damn one of them was ten times the QB of anything we have on our roster.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

So shorter is better

 

[Swamp Donkey]

No, good QBs are better.

Plenty of tall QBs are shyt.

More short QBs are shyt.

We've seen repeatedly that 6 foot QBs have had plenty of success. If your only point about why you don't want Zaire is his height, then you really don't have anything.

Yeah, I would not describe Rex Grossman as that for sure.

As 6 foot? Not sure what you're implying to be honest
