The Big 12 has nine of the top 15 quarterbacks in the nation in terms of passing efficiency. That is just sick. What a bad time to be a Big 12 defensive back.

2. Sam Bradford - Oklahoma
3. Zac Robinson - Oklahoma State
4. Colt McCoy - Texas
5. Chase Daniel - Missouri
8. Graham Harrell - Texas Tech
10. Josh Freeman - Kansas State
12. Todd Reesing - Kansas
14. Robert Griffin - Baylor
15. Joe Ganz - Nebraska
--------
32. Jerrod Johnson - Texas A&M
56. Austin Arnaud - Iowa State
79. Cody Hawkins - Colorado

Cody Hawkins is terrible. Awful. 79th my ass.

I don't even know who Robert Griffin is. I though Baylor had intramural football. They seem to be scoring points this year though.

If Todd Reesing is the 7th best quarterback in your conference that is simply amazing.

I'm really surprised Freeman is listed that high.

I've heard the baylor QB is going to be a stud

why? he has the numbers....

So do several other QB's ranked below him. Including last year's Heisman trophy winner.

They're ranked by passing efficiency for this season. It's not a subjective ranking.

they are ranked according to their QB ratings....

That's amazing.

The top three QB's are from the State of Oklahoma. They have a record of 17-1 with OU being the one loss LOL.

:spock:

I see.

A subjective review would be more interesting. Incorporating wins, losses, come-from-behind victories and the such...

I suppose your opinion of this is skewed by the fact your QB is rated lower and you of course think he's better than the others?

No, not really. I just don't think Freeman that good.

This doesn't even account for the fact that many of these guys are threats to hurt you running it also. Robinson, McCoy, Daniel, Reesing, Freeman and Griffin can all take off and run the ball.

Not to mention, A&M's QB put up 450+ yards of total offense against KSU this week, so I know he has to be in that top 10 somewhere. ;)

Just give Arnaud another year or two.. ISU is a young team showing flashes!

Yeah, you are right. I forgot the A&M QB.

32. Jerrod Johnson - Texas A&M. 11 TD's, 4 INT for 1089 yards.

based on what?


2008 season, 6 games

111 completions on 169 attempts (65.7%)
12 touchdowns and 2 interceptions
1,509 yards (251.5 per game)
8.93 yards per attempt
13.59 yards per completion

47 carries for 221 yards (net of sack yardage lost)
12 touchdowns
4.70 yards per attempt


He is #2 in the nation in all positions in scoring.

A (not so) quick run of the numbers yielded these results. I did it all by hand, so hopefully my math is good.

I assigned points to the following categories with regards to the Big 12 QB's COMPARED to each other in the conference: Come from behind victories, wins/losses, passing yards, interceptions, and completion percentage.

If a QB was a 1 in conference he got 12 points and so on down to one.

If there was a tie, both(or more) were added up and averaged.

I'm going to post the school name instead of the QB.

1. Texas
2. KU
3. MU
4(tie). TTU
4.(tie). OSU
6. OU
7. KSU
8. Baylor
9. Nebraska
10.ISU
11.TAMU
12.Colorado


When I looked at the numbers again, I figured that the come from behind victory category gave a substantial bump to 4 QB's. There have been only 4 comeback victories this year for Big 12 schools(I classified coming back as being down by any margin at anytime in the second half). Thus it gave 4 QB's an extra six points compared to the other 8. When the total of the leader Texas' QB was only 50 points, that's a large bump for a relatively benign stat. Taking out that category, the results changed slightly.

1. Texas
2. Mizzou
3. KU
4. TTU
5. OSU
6. OU
7. KSU
8. Baylor
9. Nebraska
10. ISU
11. TAMU
12. Colorado

I think if Freeman comes out this year he would be a Top 10 pick potentially depending on how he performs in the combine. His team sucks, and he's looking like a Stallion right now.

Freeman is a good QB on a bad team. His only fault IMO is he makes very bad throws when he is running.

:cuss: I spent a lot of time on that breakdown, I better get at least one good fight out of the KU/MU people.

What's there to fight about. Looks good to me.

and you did a good job.

Colt McCoy? He's not a top 10 in my book. Chase Daniels is the only QB I'd feel ok in drafting. Especially if he brings his coaches.

Wow :rolleyes: Let me guess, you like Mizzou?

I'll say it....I don't think Reesing or Daniels have pro talent.

I think Bradford and Freeman could have starter potential. I think McCoy will end up a backup.

Haha, are you kidding me? A midget with average arm strength? I don't know how his game translates to the NFL very well

The Chiefs are gonna draft Bradford... and all the MUrons will be sad.

I've only seen Daniel play a couple of times but he fell apart under OSU's pressure.

Yeah, he certainly did. Worst game I've seen him play in a long, long time.

Think Daniel will wear #25 ever again?

No, because clearly the reason he played badly was the jersey number.

Not really. I don't know if Bradford would be my first choice. But he'll probably be a better NFL QB than Chase. It's a whole different game...

Why even bother responding?

Good advice.

I'd rather have Stafford over Bradford...
Chase isn't a realistic NFL option, just like Todd Reesing

Can you get rid of the Avatar? Between that and the "S" name, I keep thinking you're Sam Hall.

Heh, I do that too.

Sure-Oz > Sam Hall.

ROFL

This avy rules and i believe Sammy has scarlett johansen as his avy now.

HAHA...

I've gotten compliments for this avy, it's too bad Sam had a similiar one as well, but it's gone now thank goodness. I've had the whole Joker avy for awhile

At least we'll have something to look at while he's bleeding all over the board.

The good news is that Johnny Cash is no longer spinning in his grave.

So true...i forgot that was his Avy.
