I don't have an Insider membership.. I'm curious to know if/where JR is ranked. Could someone with a membership let us know? http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/insi...olumns/story?columnist=mcshay_todd&id=2476496
1. Brady Quinn, Notre Dame, SR, 6-4, 228 2. Brian Brohm, Louisville, JR, 6-4, 221 3. Troy Smith, Ohio State, SR, 6-1, 209 4. Pat White, West Virginia, SO, 6-2, 191 5. Drew Stanton, Michigan State, SR, 6-3, 223 6. Chad Henne, Michigan, JR, 6-2, 222 7. Kyle Wright, Miami, JR, 6-4, 217 8. Kevin Kolb, Houston, SR, 6-3, 222 9. Jordan Palmer, UTEP, SR, 6-5, 231 10. Drew Weatherford, Florida State, SO, 6-3, 218 The next best 15: 11. Chris Leak, Florida, senior 12. Drew Tate, Iowa, senior 13. JaMarcus Russell, LSU, junior 14. Trent Edwards, Stanford, senior 15. Colt Brennan, Hawaii, junior 16. John Beck, BYU, senior 17. Rudy Carpenter, Arizona State, sophomore 18. Matt Ryan, Boston College, junior 19. Tyler Palko, Pittsburgh, senior 20. Willie Tuitama, Arizona, sophomore 21. Sam Keller, Arizona State, senior 22. Zac Taylor, Nebraska, senior 23. Brandon Cox, Auburn, junior 24. Bret Meyer, Iowa State, junior 25. Rhett Bomar, Oklahoma, sophomore Here are there rankings. I disregarded all it's credibility when I saw White at number 4. He will not be a Qb in the NFL ever, and they think he is the 4th best NFL prospect. They got the first 2 right though so who knows. Troy Smith is a Michael Robinson type guy that is 50/50 whether he can be a QB at the next level or not. He is awesome at the college level though.
Carpenter at ASU finished 1st in QB ratings last year as a freshman... and gets ranked 17th???? Leak has been ranked in the top ten most every year... I'm sure 11th is his lowest... and he finished 34th in 2005, 16th in 2004, and 39th in 2003. Yep, this all makes sense to me now!!
Well, Carpetenr may not even start at ASU, they have a helluva QB battle ont hier hans I think. White may not play a down at QB in the NFL, but this is a college poll and he will have a huge impact on his teams games, so I can see why he is rated highly.
Where do you see that? I just read the article and never saw the word NFL or future potential. "Here are the preseason rankings for the nation's top returning signal callers."
It is from scout's Inc's Todd McShay. That is what he does, scouts college players for pro talent. There is more to the article, i just cut out all of the article except the rankings.
