Welcome to the ACC Dino:
Is this the toughest group of QB's we've ever had to face in a season?

Lamar Jackson
Deshaun Watson
Deondre Francois
Deshone Kaiser

I hope I'm not forgetting anyone...really hoping

I know it's early, but Jackson, and Francois look the part of Heisman hopeful. We've all seen what Watson can do, and Deshone Kaiser is a handful.
 
I thought that other QB for Notre Dame was a total stud, too. The QB for UNC is no slouch, either,

We don't play UNC., If you're referring to NC State, Jacoby Brisette is gone.
 
He is an Lville fan.
Yeah, my bad. That was in the off chance that they were on your schedule. I liked his game, anyway. The ACC has a bunch of worthy suckers back there.

Closing the gap on the SEC.
 
I was amazed at how bad the SEC teams looked. Missou, USC, Vandy, UK, Tennessee - that was a dog's breakfast last weekend.

I still think Ten is going to be good, If Uga plays that Eason kid all year, I like their team a lot, not sold on Florida, but then again I wasn't last year, and they had a good year.

Probably the toughest group of athletic QBs in one season.

Non ACC, throw Flowers in there, who we struggled with last year. (Although his 8-18 against Towson is far from scary).
 
1999:
Mike Vick
Ken Dorsey
Tim Hasselback
Tom Brady

We actually did a pretty good job defending Brady, if I remember correctly. Even thought I am a fan of both teams, I rooted for Su that day.
 
How about these QB's in 1981:
Tony Eason - IL
Babe Laufenberg- IU
Boomer Esiason - MD
Todd Blackledge - PSU
Dan Marino - Pitt
Doug Flutie - BC
Oliver Luck - WV

That was my first thought too. Hard to beat that group for tough QBs.

Wow
 
Not every school can claim to have played quality lists like this in one season. I like the ACC but I do miss the variety of schedule from the indy days.

All great lists!

How crazy is it that they are all black?

20 yrs ago, It was basically Cuse and Nebraska for black QB's.
 
Jimmy The Greek must be spinning in his grave, lol. Then consider Russell Wilson, on top of all the others. The least flashy yet - like Brady - a relaxed winner at football.
