Can I be honest? The rest of the QBs we face suck

[OttoinGrotto]

Ward historically has struggled against high level QBs. I don't see many of those on the schedule.

Pindell at UCONN? I'll let Marsh say what needs to be said here. (#28 QBR)

Clemson's 2 headed monster? Decent, but do they scare you? (Bryant is #92 QBR)

Pickett at Pitt? Please. (#71 QBR)

Elliott at UNC? Nah. (#118 QBR)

Finley at NC State? OK, now we got to somebody that can play. (#15 QBR)

Hartman at Wake? Talented but not a refined product at all. (#56 QBR)

Whatever's going on at Louisville? Get a cramp, Petrino. (Pass is #128, two spots ahead of the sacrificial lamb on the bottom from Rutgers)

Wimbush at ND? I'd like to remind everyone that Brian Kelly killed a kid. (#72 QBR)

Brown at BC? Having a really good season, but BC isn't QB-centric at all. (Oddly enough, does not show up on ESPN's CFB QBR list at all. Which must be a mistake, because his numbers have been very good so far. Maybe he hasn't thrown enough passes to qualify?)

If you want a reason for optimism this season, this is a big one. We're not really butting up against the types of QBs that can carve a defense up through the air or is a terrifying threat to run.

I think the defense is going to be fine, and we can compete against every single one of these teams.

finley is very good. will get drafted.

Yeah, he's the outlier in that group for sure.

Pindell is EXACTLY the sort of dual-threat QB that has given our D fits in years past.
Regardless of his rankings or pedigree.

I really hope we 'spy' him if need be, since I think the rest of our D can cover the rest of them sufficiently.

 

[Trueblue25]

Brown’s a stud backed up by the best RB in the league. The rest excePt Finley couldnt carry Dungey’s jockstrap

They would have to wrestle it away from me first. It's an important job and I don't trust just anybody to do it. They would need to prove themselves first.

Yep, best QB's the rest of the way are Finley, Brown, and Hartman in that order. How in the world in ND ranked in the top 10 with that offense?

So what? He can't overcome that crapshow defense.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Also for those wondering, Dungey is in a 3 way tie for 36 right now on the QBR chart.

Yikes. You should have posted this in the H0T Takes thread...

Yeah I think BC is clearly the 2nd best team left on the schedule. Lot of talent, offense that can run, pass with dual threat QB and they are very physical. Good talent on defense line too. This is Dazzler's dream team. I will admit, they are pretty damn good. They can meat you too death but they can beat you with big plays too.

 

[DoctorBombay]

When it comes to SU football, after almost 2 decades of inept futility, excuse me but I’m from Missouri...you have to show me!
I take no team for granted.

I think they’d win the coastal fairly easily. However, clemson’s d line, aka the monstars, is absurd.

Week 1 wins are great.

When you win you automatically become the only team that beat that team while they were undefeated. Much more valuable than beating a team that has already lost week 3. See BC being ranked and us not.

I'm not taking any teams for granted.

I am suggesting that we aren't going up against Lamar Jackson here.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm not afraid of your QBs.

Now, the rest of the team...

 

[upperdeck]

brown can run, that scares me, the wake offense puts avg QBs in good running spots, that scares me,. bryant can run if healthy.

 

[djorange1989]

So what? He can't overcome that crapshow defense.

yeah, the kid is pretty good, but even if he puts up 28 points on us, we will still win by 30.

 

[gbo]

That's perfectly fine but I'm not going to judge any QBs off of 3 games. Especially teams that rotate the entire roster early like we do so neither one gets any cohesion.

Fair enough. But you get no props for the “Miracle Max”-like, Lamar Jackson visual...

Dillon is the best running back in college football. Incredible talent. I can't believe we have to deal with him for at least two more years.

 

[TheCusian]

The 2nd QB at Clemson scares me.



And he can play

He’s not staying for his SR year
