College Football Starting Quarterback Rankings for 2018

https://athlonsports.com/college-football/college-football-starting-quarterback-rankings-2018

94. Feleipe Franks, Florida

Florida’s offense struggled mightily last season, but the entire unit is getting a fresh start under new coach Dan Mullen. The Gators averaged only 21 points in SEC contests last fall. Mullen should make better use of Florida’s talent, which includes development at the quarterback position. Franks led the offense with 1,438 yards and nine touchdowns, but he also tossed eight interceptions and completed just 54.6 percent of his throws in 2017. Franks is far from secure at the top of the depth chart. Incoming freshman Emory Jones and redshirt freshman Kyle Trask will push for the job in fall practice.

#2 — Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama
  • #6 — Drew Lock, Missouri
  • #9 — Jarrett Stidham, Auburn
  • #10 — Nick Fitzgerald, Mississippi State
  • #11 — Jake Fromm, Georgia
  • #14 — Jake Bentley, South Carolina
  • #24 — Kyle Shurmur, Vanderbilt
  • #29 — Jordan Ta’amu, Ole Miss
  • #42 — Nick Starkel, Texas A&M
  • #72 — Keller Chryst, Tennessee
  • #86 — Myles Brennan, LSU
  • #89 — Cole Kelley, Arkansas
  • #94 — Feleipe Franks, Florida
  • #95 — Terry Wilson, Kentucky


1. Will Grier, West Virginia

The Big 12’s unquestioned No. 1 quarterback resides in Morgantown this season. Grier – a Heisman candidate and a likely All-America pick – is at the controls of one of the nation’s top offenses. After sitting out 2016 due to transfer rules, Grier threw for 3,490 yards and 34 touchdowns in 11 appearances for West Virginia last fall. Additionally, the North Carolina native’s eight completions of 60 yards or more ranked third nationally among all FBS quarterbacks. Grier missed two full games due to a finger injury suffered against Texas on Nov. 18 but will be back at full strength for 2018.

I doubt Franks is truly the # 94 QB in reality. He is triple digit level bad at this point.

Grier will have huge numbers in that system with that receiver coming back especially but I doubt he does much at the pro level whether he is a very high pick or not. This does seem to be a very weak year for returning college QBs.

It's such a bad year that a kid that has only played one half of the national title game is second. add this to the list of reasons that off-season polls are bogus.

Grier has to be the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman.

According to Vegasinsider, he is tied for 7th at (20/1)

Bryce Love (9/2)
J Taylor (6/1)
J. Fromm (10/1)
T. Tagovailoa (12/1)
K. Tate (14/1)

it is a terrible year. Nick Fitzgerald is dung. He's about half as good a quarterback as Jordan Reed was.

Could be another Mac record. First Florida coach to have a former player win a Heisman for another team.

Just when you thought how really bad it was. We hit new lows.

Bama back-up and Georgias back-up are better than our starter.

Hell, I bet their 3rd string is close also.

Fromm a better chance than Grier? In Smart's offense?
