QBS

1) *Tim Tebow QB 6'3 235 Florida
Tebow was the first FBS player to rush and throw for 20 TDs in a season. While some
discount this because he had tons of weapons at his disposal, the feat is great just the same.
Also, bear in mind that he did it as a Sophomore. This kid is a dual threat who'll only get better
with time. He's a smart guy and has his priorities in tact. By placing his relationship with God
as number one in his life, he'll succeed no matter what he does.

2) *Matt Stafford QB 6'3 237 Georgia
Stafford is moving into his third season as the starting QB for the "Dawgs. He has a great arm
and places the ball well with some zip on it when needed. He has a big, solid frame, yet
moves well in the pocket. In short, he's faced the type of top-notch competition that will only
further his readiness to perform at the next level. The explosive running game will only open up
the pass that much more for him.

3) Cullen Harper QB 6'3 220 Clemson
Matt Ryan was the only QB in the ACC who looked better than Harper. While Harper faced fan
and media pressure from those who wanted the starting QB nod to go to Willy Korn, he
endured nicely and showed that it's his position...for now. He just missed the 3,000 passing
yard mark last season, and showed great decision making with his 27:6 TD to Interception
ratio. With Kelly, Ford, and Grisham all back, watch out! The Tiger Offense will be sick.

4) *Sam Bradford QB 6'4 210 Oklahoma
Last season, the QB talk in the Big 12 was over Chase Daniel and Todd Reesing. However,
neither is quite the caliber of QB that Bradford is. Bradford didn't have as many yards, but he
had more TDs and a better TD to Interception ratio. Stats aside, Bradford is a tall QB with
room to add bulk to his frame. He played in some nasty contests last year and showed good
poise throughout. After 2008, he'll be NFL ready.

5) Curtis Painter QB 6'3 230 Purdue
Over the past two seasons, Painter has thrown for 7,831 yards and 51 TDs. Some QBs don't
have these stats over their entire career. However, the receptions made by Dorien Bryant,
now gone, accounted for 2,004 yards (26%) and 14 TDs (27%). When you lose your best WR
from the past two years, one could expect a decline. With that said, Painter has all the tools to
play at the next level. The Pro style system experience helps.

6) *Nate Davis QB 6'2 218 Ball State
Over the past several years, the MAC has become notorious for producing some very good
QBs. Here's another one. While Davis did struggle with his accuracy at times last year, he had
a tremendous season. He threw for 3,667 yards, 30 TDs and only 6 Interceptions. He has a
great arm and can move well. He's also a great athlete and will compete against anyone.
Threw the ball 49 times against Rutgers for 3 TDs, no picks.

7) Hunter Cantwell QB 6'4 235 Louisville
Cantwell doesn't have the stats, just potential. With Brian Brohm firmly holding down the QB
position over the last few years, Cantwell wasn't going to get many chances to get onto the
field. He now has the opportunity he's been waiting for. But, it won't be an easy year. Last
season, Brohm had Harry Douglas, Mario Urrutia and Gary Barnidge to throw to. Those three
accounted for over 50% of the receiving yards. They're all gone.

8) *Dan LeFevour QB 6'3 236 Central Michigan
If Nate Davis is in fact the best QB in the MAC, then LeFevour is a close second. As a
Freshman, this prospect led all MAC passers in yards and TDs. Through his Sophomore year,
he's tallied 6,700 yards passing and 53 TDs. He's a big kid who has great feet. He's a sick
dual threat. While he does force the ball at times, he's not a huge liability. His top two WRs are
back, so he'll light it up again.

9) Todd Boeckman QB 6'4 244 Ohio State
It's easy for folks to pick on Boeckman with the losses suffered to Illinois and LSU. However,
let us not forget that last year was his first as a starter, and he was replacing the great Troy
Smith. With a year under his belt, this massive QB should be improved. Even though he has
Robiskie and Hartline to throw to, Ohio State will not abandon the run game. Why would they?
So, don't expect 3,000 yards. Lack of mobility is an issue.

10) *Mark Sanchez QB 6'4 220 USC
Sanchez has a huge load to carry and must come up to speed quickly. If he plays to the
All-American accolades he received, then he should be okay. But, this is the same program
that sent Palmer, Leinart, and Booty to the NFL. Excellence is expected. He has had great
mentors along the way, and does possess the right tools to get it done. His WRs aren't as
good as people think, and he'll face some tough Defenses.

11) Rudy Carpenter QB 6'2 202 Arizona State
Sam Keller was a decent QB by college standards, but Carpenter's play caused people to
quickly forget about him, so he went walking. Last season, Carpenter threw for 3,200 yards
and had a TD to Interception ratio of 25:10. His top two WRs hauled made up about 50% of
his passing yards, and he gets them both back. Carpenter needs to add weight and learn to
avoid the Sack much better...took 54 last season.

12) *Josh Freeman QB 6'6 250 Kansas State
in 2006, Freeman got his shot as a Freshman. He threw for 6 TDs and 15 Interceptions...ouch.
But through it all, he showed athletic ability and a ton of promise. Last season, he improved,
as he threw for 3,352 yards, 18 TDs, and 11 Interceptions. He has a canon for an arm, which
can be as much of a problem as it is a blessing. He still thinks he can muscle the ball past
anyone. Once he learns to make better decisions and not force the ball, he'll be a phenom.

13) *Colt McCoy QB 6'3 210 Texas
Vince Young left some huge shoes to fill. In his last season with the Longhorns, he threw for
over 3,000 yards, 26 TDs, and 10 Interceptions. McCoy came in as a Freshman and threw for
2,570 yards, 29 TDs and 7 Interceptions. Not too shabby. Last season, he threw for more
yards, but had almost as many Interceptions (18) as he did TDs (22). He needs to get back to
basics and play to the way he's been coached.

14) Graham Harrell QB 6'2 205 Texas Tech
Over the past two seasons, no other active FBS QB has anywhere near Harrell's stats. In that
time, he's thrown for 10,260 yards and 86 TDs. Texas Tech QBs always have gaudy numbers
though, right? They do, but not to Harrell's standard. In the two seasons prior to Harrell's,
Cumbie and Hodges combined for 8,980 yards and 63 TDs. He'll have to overcome the hype
that he's more than just a system QB.

15) Willie Tuitama QB 6'3 220 Arizona
Tuitama had as good of a season as any QB in the PAC-10 last year. He threw for just shy of
3,700 yards, and posted a TD to Interception ratio of 28:12. On average, he threw 1
Interception for every 44 attempts. For reference, John David Booty threw 1 out of
34...Tuitama has good size for the position and spreads the ball around nicely. He gets his top
four receiving targets back. He should lead the PAC-10 in yards and TDs.
