There's an article on ESPN that tracks Total QBR and Adjusted QBR (based on strength of defenses faced):

<a class="bbc_url" href='http://espn.go.com/ncf/notebook/_/page/onthemark-131007/total-qbr-measure-college-football-quarterbacks'>http://espn.go.com/ncf/notebook/_/page/onthemark-131007/total-qbr-measure-college-football-quarterbacks</a>

Hmmmmm....Where's teddy? Lol #1 pick??? Naahhh

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive about what could go right!!!

Hmmmmm....Where's teddy? Lol #1 pick??? Naahhh

 

You know, Total QBR isn't the end all be all. But feel free to lol in your ignorance. 

 

RG3 and Lucks Total QBR were behind Kellen Moore.

 

Ryan Tannehill behind Dan Persa, Darron Thomas, Jacory Harris, and Chandler Harnish.

After a few weeks since this thread has started, lets see how everyone's rankings stand now.

Wanted to edit Bridgewater's section after the Rutgers game on 10 October.

1. Teddy Bridgewater -
   All the skills, plus the reps but he doesn't have top notch arm talent. He'll have almost 40 games under his belt when this season is over. If this season plays out as projected, he'll have notched close to 30 wins and post a 0.60+ completion percentage. Simply put, he's the best option out there as the field stands right now. Is he being hampered by Louisville's run-first system? How much production is being lost by their Offensive focus being on the running game?
   
   
   
2. Zach Mettenberger
   - He's come a long way and he still has a ways to go, but the skills are there. I'll admit that I wasn't impressed with him last season, but it appears that he has things figured out now. He's not pro-ready, but he has all the ability that you want in a QB. He's dropped off a bit since that rather weak showing versus Furman, but the skills are still there. How much time will it take for him to be "ready"?
   
   
3. Aaron Murray
   - You just don't find four-year starters in big time college football, you just don't. So when you see one, you better find out why he's had the keys over every one else. Murray has an excellent grasp of a pro-style Offense and the tools to make it go. Yeah, he's got a height limitation which is a legitimate concern, but there isn't a read that he can't make, nor a throw that he isn't willing to try. I can see him being a Flacco/E. Manning type of player who will consistently win games for you, but might not blow your skirt up all season long. As his supporting cast has wilted around him due to injury, more and more of the Offensive Load is on his shoulders. I still think that he's a player that you can win with at the next level, but he will need help. I love his approach to the game.
   
   
4. Marcus Mariota
   - Probably the best athlete at the position right now. He's got scary speed and a nice arm on him, but will the offense need to be tailored around his strengths at the expense of the entire offensive group? If he can grasp an NFL playbook, the sky is the limit with this guy; but that's an unanswered 'if'. Keeps rolling along; the same strengths, the same unknowns.
   
   
5. Tajh Boyd
   - The middle class man's Murray. He'll have comparable playing time, and a very good grasp of a complex Offense. He has height limitations as well, but he's probably a better athlete than Murray since Dabo likes to run Read-Option with him. I don't like him as much as Murray, but he's still a nice looking prospect. Super bad showing versus FSU. Is he capable of rebounding within a game?
   
   
6. A.J. McCarron
   - He's handled the keys to Alabama's offense for a long time now and he has all the reps you could want. That being said, he's got limitations and they are kind of hard to pick out since Alabama simply out-talents most everyone that they play. Is that arm of his strong enough? How dependent is he on the running game? How much does he need his wideouts to bail him out? He's a good Quarterback, but I don't know if he can put a team on his back and carry them to eight or nine wins by himself. I haven't seen a lot of his games this season, so I really have nothing new to add here. Hey everybody! Look at me! I'm not adding anything!
   
   
7. Brett Hundley
   - As raw as they come, and in my opinion he needs to stay around to get more playing time. The PAC-12 ain't the greatest competition in the world, but he needs time on the field before he gets to the NFL. He's got every tool that a QB needs, he just needs to figure out how to put them to best use. A really intriguing player. For your own career Brett, stay in school!
   
   
8. Stephen Morris
   - He's got the goods, but there's always a hitch with him. It's like he can't string together four or five good games, and he needs to be able to do that to make it at the next level. If he got the Aaron Rodgers treatment where he could sit and learn for two to three seasons, that's be perfect for him. NTA
   
   
9. David Fales
   - Everything you want except the arm; and that's a major concern. If you can't make the 20 yard out, You'll never make it against NFL Defenses. His arm will get stronger as he ages, but will he have enough of everything else to wait for that to happen? NTA
   
   
10. Johnny Manziel
    - I hesitate to even put him here. He's showing worrisome immaturity and that will eat him alive in the NFL. He is as elusive as they come, and makes things happen on the field, but how well we he take to coaching? How much structure does he need to be successful? That shoulder injury versus Auburn should give pause to any talent evaluator. With his play-style, he's either going to take shots like that, or you are going to have to choke back on his production. He's still not a guy that I would want in the Locker Room.
    
    

 

 

I've added my updates since I'm kind of self-centered.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Hundley shouldn't even be in the discussion of top 10.

hundley has fallen off and i expect him to stay in school
mettenberger has been so inconsistent
only qb that significantly improved his stock is mariota. teddy with a firm hold on #1, waiting for his bowl game performance.
