Tell me about the strengths and shortcomings of your starting QBs, or your QBs battling to start for y'all.
Arizona's Anu Solomon.

Strengths:
Smart decision-maker
Average arm

Weaknesses:
Average athleticism (this is RichRod's offense after all)
Average arm
Accuracy on short throws

Really, he faded down the stretch but was pretty good in the first half of the season. I'm very excited to see how he improves. The biggest weakness is his speed, but he's fast enough. He will not burn you like Pat White or Denard Robinson, and it seems like RichRod isn't after the kind of QB he recruited at WVU or Michigan. He seems happy with a guy that's more of a pocket passer at Arizona. Arizona's passing game was a lot of bombs so we will see how he develops and if he can be a more consistent passer.

Well, his strength would be gunslinger cannon arm that has a tiny random chance of hitting a jackpot

everything else is weakness. we will suck and some dumb rear end team like the bears will draft him in the top 10

Having a highly-touted freshman QB coming in is so god drat bizarre. His strengths are "Potentially incredible at every aspect of being a QB", but his weakness is "Is a freshman and might actually be terrible at every aspect of being a QB".

Just about the only thing I know about Connor Mitch is that he threw 63 TD's and zero interceptions his senior year of high school. I prefer to live in bliss until the inevitable moment Spurrier yanks him after throwing 5 interceptions.

In Denard's sophomore season with Michigan he was a really good passer and had like a 65% completion percentage.

But, I'll give you the 'a lot of bombs' comment, Denard didn't go deep deep a ton.

Denard was a good passer, but Michigan passed a lot less (in terms of sheer attempts and run/pass ratio) than Arizona has in the past few years. That's my impression at least.

I forgot also that Kiffin is the OC there now, so it makes sense that the QB position at 'Bama is going to figure more prominently moving forward.

Kayak is true
Pat Mahomes

Pros:
Mobile enough to escape the pocket
Decent downfield arm
Good short accuracy
Quandray Diggs has graduated

Cons:
True Sophomore with 4 games started
Our OL doesn't know how to not hold on scambles

Davis Webb

Pros:
Good downfield arm
No longer hurt
Not Baker Mayfield
Did not transfer

Cons:
Statuesque figure
Known for throwing really confusing, terrible interceptions 2-3 times a game.


Mahomes is probably going to ultimately be the starter, but Webb will get a chance to show that he's not going to throw more interceptions.

First it was the AAC then a downgrade in competition in the Big Ten. Yeah, I went there. Flood also inherited Schiano's loaded roster, and the last of them are gone after this year.

Also his recruiting is far worse.

But that has more to do with the inherent failures of Kyle Flood than the merits of the conference. Greg Schiano, in all his mediocrity, would have coasted to a winning conference record.
