Josh Pate's SEC Quarterback Ratings Entering 2024 (Late Kick Cut) 

How many games would you say Kiffin or Sarkisian wins will that Alabama roster?

Gonna be down to 3 Vandy fans after 😂

Only time he talks my hogs , it's usually that type talk 🤣

Thanks

LSU over Bama. I mean Milroe held his own against the Heisman winner on the same field last year. And that guy is gone.

Thank you for your service. 😜👌🏻

I think Ole Miss quarterback room is better than all three teams with an 8.5… it’s ridiculous how he just gave higher ratings to quarterbacks that haven’t even played many games but we will see.

@@michaelroberts6534 Ole Miss is still Ole Miss. And Lane is still Lane. No Saban to throw him off but he still does stupid shit that keeps him from getting over the hump.

I wouldn't be suprised if nuss passes for almost 400 yards a game.

LSU barely beat a bad big ten team in the bowl.

@@boosted9319 LSU was also running with a new oc, qb, and wrs in that bowl game. They'll definitely be better than how they performed in that bowl game

@@madhatter1110 same guys.. just lost some to portal. That was one of the bottom tier big ten teams… not impressed at all.

@@boosted9319 uneducated

Have you seen the WR room he’s throwing to?

@@LaFlamaBlanca757 Of course. There is a lot of talent, none of it has been the go-to guy at UGA yet. I personally expect Beck's numbers to improve next year over 2023. But it's always tough to project future performance in CFB. He managed almost 4000 yards in his first year starting. If he improves on that, UGA could be absolutely sick in 2024.

@@saldiven2009 Important to note that Kirby has said that he and Bobo held Beck back in the early part of last season. They say they are ready to "take the leash off" completely. If Arian Smith stays healthy, he stretches the field quite a bit.

I'm also curious. He always had slightly stronger fundamentals than Bennett, but Stetty's great strength was being able to dig in and find a way to win the game no matter what. Beck is also very very good but I'm not sure he's got that level of deep nasty grit. I was at the spring game and it was incredibly boring football - because the defense is so good it stalled out both offenses. One defensive player admitted they'd seen those offensive plays for the last month straight so they knew exactly what was coming. That..... kind of makes me nervous? But it's also a testament to the core strength of Georgia, which has always been a rock solid defense. We've just actually had good enough offensive production to match it for the last few years, which has been a treat.

​@@wpony714 Arian Smith or Anthony Evans

Just start him

Maybe at some point but you gotta see what Mertz can do. His numbers improved A LOT his first year in Gainesville. Also its not great to rush your freshman QB into action with the toughest schedule in the country.

My FFXIV addled brain hears "Lagway" and thinks he's a Lopporit. (All their names end in "way.")

@@Gibb591start him over a 6th year qb who had a td / int ratio of 20-3 ??? 😂 don’t watch a lot of fb do ya

@@adammauer6424 you win

Well since neither have really played in college, we can only go based off where they were ranked coming out of high school.

​@jemazondo9331 Walker played against real competition in high school. Arch played at a 2 A school, so Basically played against kids just above home screen. He is being ranked by his last name.

well you have to put a lot of stock into the scripted spring game against TX's really bad back up secondary, so if you buy that then you can say he's better than avg.

@@stweaselSame 2A school where he beat Peyton numbers in TD and Eli yards

And even if you want to say Texas back up secondary sucks, that first play 75 yard bomb TD was a dime to Deandre Moore.

Texas ain't playing an sec schedule, it's all fluff

Sarks scheme makes Ewers look better than he is imo, not to mention being gifted freaky athletes to throw to his entire career at Texas. And he’s still yet to be tested a full season in a true defensive conference like the SEC is, and considering he still struggled against big 12 defenses I believe that he’s got quite a long way to go to be where some think he’s at.

yeah back then the big12 really was the next best thing to the SEC

@@greenwave819 The SEC wasn’t special in the 1990s. It was the big 12 and the Florida schools running CFB.

Playing hard isn't aggie's issue.

@@dcurry5550exactly. They’ve played harder than Texas over the last decade…

The Big XII south could’ve been another worthy SEC division back before conference realignment began with Mizzou and aTm

Very true, just shows the limited knowledge on OU. Wait wasn’t ARNOLD also an Elite 11 MVP as well.

@@Dengland83 he was and is lol but they crazy Hawkins is crazy crazy good

@@Dengland83 Jackson is just as every young fresh start player is, but he’s gonna do his thing eventually

I’d rate the room at an 8 or 8.25. I thought 7.5 was far too low in comparison to how he rated other teams’ QB rooms.

OU gotta earn SEC respect. Ain't none being handed to them.

Why would he. Nobody cares about y’all

Big 12 lol they dont deserve a top 4 bid in playoffs they just lost the only teams that made it even decent ​@@kyleadams5273

Cutter Boley hasn’t played a single college snap. Wdym his decision making has to get better?

He’s tough. Thankfully the offensive line should be better. There’s also a pretty big difference between the level of competition Dart has been playing versus Ewers. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ewers doesn’t improve much this year or if he regresses because he’s going to be playing better teams, although Texas does have a pretty favorable schedule.

Florida fans are saying the same thing about Napier and losing to Kentucky.

Homie Florida is loaded don’t take it to heart, and they just added best wr in portal today.

Speaking as a Georgia fan..... please beat Florida.

@@freshyjones9062 that's fair, but everyone is severely underestimating Tennessee's talent/ roster/ depth. They lost next to nobody important in the portal but brought in a lot of day 1 SEC caliber players

@@katarhthey will. This is the most talented team Tennessee has had in almost 20 years. People trash them, but they barely lost anyone to the portal besides liabilities. They aren't winning a NC, but they quietly improved every weakness from last season, including multiple freshman all American DBs, the top TE, a 5 star LT, and got their team leaders back and healthy.

With a TD and 3 more rushing TD’s, in his first ever start, against a top 10 defense in the country? Yeah I know right. Just say you don’t like TN instead of beating around the bush and posting some delusional out of context BS.

You and JP are both off your rockers. Beck is better than Ewers both as a college player and a pro prospect. Gunner Stockton has more experience than Manning. 2 more studs behind them in Rashada and Puiglisi.

@@denniscarney5249 all unproven dudes other than ewers. I also think they have lower ceilings than the qb’s I mentioned. I think the UT qb room is great tho. They have what they need to compete at a high level.

@CiviTac again, the backups for every school are pretty much "unproven." I'll take the guys practicing against the best defense in the country, tho. How exactly are you defining "upside" with dudes whose last serious tape came from high school? Are you one of these guys that are going to tell me DJ U, Cam Ward, and Jordan Travis will be franchise QBs in the NFL?

@@CiviTac that's True, UT has #1 Nico, follwed by Moore who knows the system really well and has done well when he's had the chance, followed by 4.5 star Merklinger the gunslinger!!

4.5 star? Lmao

who'd he earn that QBR playing against??? D2 schools

That dline and secondary that they didn’t fix with the portal might hurt the team enough where he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves

@@Fluffyboi95 to be fair having a terrible defense will help him stat pad like Daniels did. Not saying Daniels only won because of stat padding, but y'know, it helps.

@@PirateOfPlayTime fair enough but Daniel’s benefits greatly from lsu having that good season before the letdown one last year.

@@PirateOfPlayTime still hung up that game I see.

@@Fluffyboi95 Bo Davis, Kevin Peoples and Corey Raymond going to have to earn that money. Good thing that's 3 of the best in the country.

Well let’s see Florida had graham mertz who had one of the highest qbr’s in the country last year with a TD/INT ratio of 20/3 and they picked up the #1 qb in the country out of high school who does ole miss have after Jaxson Dart

You're rating the team not the QBs. Mertz has the potential to be a top 5 maybe one of the top 3 QBs in the SEC and DJ Lagway is a future star. The rest of the team is a big ol ? I'm not just drinking the koolaid, his stats backed it up last year, I was originally very underwhelmed when we got him out of the portal. He was also playing some of his best football before he got hurt. Not discounting Jackson Dart at all, he's a serious contender for one of the best in conference, but if he goes down, I would be more excited for Lagway than Howard.

SEC champion Undefeated in the SEC despite a porous o line and being a first year starter 5th in heisman voting Bad snap away from a Natty But please keep going with your narrative...

@@pjpugh2526he was 6 in heisman voting

At some point a causal fan like you should stop talking...but it is not today.

Simpson struggled against USF. Milroe is the best QB on that team and he’s only gonna get better under Deboar

He’s only played for 1 season. Jayden Daniels had a very average season in 2022 then won the heisman in 2023. If at the end of this season Milroe is still underperforming, then you can talk, and I’ll actually agree with you. But until then, I think you’re jumping the gun way too early.

Is the new OC a step up for Oklahoma U?

@@dmanwainright2132 1,000% he literally cost us the Kansas game with HORRIBLE PLAY CALLING AND CLOCK MANAGEMEMT

Guys that know have a year in the system as well

Gaston Moore may not be a flashy name but he is a very solid backup. He has been in Heupels offense since Heup was at UCF

I totally agree regarding Gaston Moore. He understands the system, and he's a vet. Very underrated.

The freshman, Jake Merklinger tore up the orange and white game as well.

@@huntercondra1113 I am sure Tennessee has a second stringer. I was basing off Josh’s evaluation.

Jake Merklinger was a 4 star recruit and we have another 5 star coming in after this season. TN QB room is fine. It’s kind is similar to LSU. They have the No. 1 and No. 2 QB’s in the 2025 class

Dart definitely more proven. Won’t disagree there. Kid from Tennessee has a higher ceiling tho. I just have no idea what depth looks like with either of their rooms tho

@@CiviTac OM has good to great backups. I can understand ranking TN higher after the season if he does better, but there’s just no reason to rank him higher than Dart at this point. He’s a Heisman contender.

Did you watch anything on him from the spring games?

@@bigtexas517 The spring game supposed change your opinion?

@@CardinalChris502 yes, I was meh on him because he hasn’t done anything, but he looked good. Most people will say stuff about how the Texas secondary is bad and I would agree. But he was putting the ball where it needed to be nearly every time, the third string also looks really good and I could care less what his last name is

Yeah bad qbs have a way of looking pretty good in spring games where they can’t get tackled

Bingo

He can’t be. He wasn’t a 247 5 star. He must suck.

@@ShaunRHouser lmao, so true

You need to inform the NFL scouts of your opinion..I think there saying he is the 1st qb taken...

@@adryellehastings4675you mean the QB who makes half of his yards plus off of dink and dunk RPO gimmick schemes that don’t exist in the NFL the way they do in college? Or are you talking abt the QB who’s deep ball has a 50/50 chance of winding up in the defenses hands? 1st off the board my ass, if Ewers is the first QB off the board we’re confirmed living in a simulation

@@willtaylor6793 "dink and dunk"..odd...Sark ran the same offense VERY successfully in Atlanta..🤔🤔🤔...#1 high school Qb....Playoffs his 2nd yr starting...Ryan Day accepted his commitment and enrollment at 17...Sark greedily accepted his transfer commitment..Predicted to be the first Qb taken in the draft...You hate Texas..You hate Quinn...Or do you just flat out hate both??Cause the kid has been the no 1 Qb in his age group since he got old enough to be ranked....FACTS..

Speaking of dink and dunks btw, did you know that 90% of Ewer's passes in 2023 were under 20 yards? Or that over half were under 10 yards? Or that 30% were behind the damn line of scrimmage? If you seriously believe that he actually did anything to deserve full credit on the stats sheet for these passes that were entirely on the ball catcher to make the play then you should never argue in a football context ever again. These kinds of stats don't make an NFL QB, and his deep ball accuracy concerns, sloppy footwork, low release and gimmicky offense that doesn't develop a QB's necessary NFL skills are all valid concerns I have in regards to Ewer's skill. Just for a lil info too, I was born in Austin and have been to nearly 50 Texas games in my lifetime and in all likelihood know more about the program than you ever have :).

@@adryellehastings4675 and despite his #1 ranking in HS he got continually outhrown in the elite 11 competition by both Ole Miss's walker howard and Texas A&M's conner weigman and has yet to live up to that ranking by a pretty good sized margin.

And u need to wake up your not in the pancake league uve been in for decades now smh you will learn soon ou is very avg

Trollwave819

@@medzards Medtard meets TruthWave

@@greenwave819Tennessee room is unproven so you can’t say 9 I would have said 8.

"2 ACC teams" just glossing over the fact that one of those teams went undefeated in the regular season last year lol

A person with no knowledge of college football in 2024 wouldn't think the Gator's schedule is hard. There are maybe two games on the schedule that would be embarrassments if they lost. You put TAMU on the easy list. They've had strong recruiting classes for years. I see them being better than they have a right to be. GA is always in Florida, as though that makes the game easy. If the ACC teams weren't Miami and FSU you might have a point.

Yeah he's just a dick rider for the audience - more Bama fans than Vandy fans listen so he's gotta ride their dicks. Nothing new although I generally do like his content and his takes are in general quite solid

Garrett Nussmeier dropped 300 yards and 2td's in the SEC championship game in his 1st ever start at LSU against the best defense in the country (Georgia) dude is a stud when it comes to the deep ball. go watch those highlights. Collin Hurley was a 5 star QB in the 2025 class but he reclassified to 2024 and he got lowered to a 4 star since he's a year younger. but Nuss has definately proven that he can ball and he played behind and learned from the Heisman for 2 seasons.

It’s called LSU privilege. They get ranked high every year no matter what they actually do. Brian Kelly gets ranked high even though he hasn’t done much. College football media loves LSU more than any other team it seems. They can go 9-3 every year and still be picked to win it all. All talk no substance.

Is that a joke? Look up his resume beyond Texas 😂

Really? Have you ever followed him as a coach? He has made plenty of bad decisions when it comes to QBs.

​@@kyleverdun4586like?

​yeah look it up....He is only considered 1 of the best qb developers in football..

U will learn soon that ou isn't all that , they been in a bs conference since Switzer better hang those banners cus u ain't getting any in the sec

🤫 shhhhh don’t tell anyone. We gotta hide him from the prortal

@@ethanfaulkner5930 aye you right😂😂😂

Kevin Sperry will be future

As a SCAR fan I agree, outside of an unproven Sellers, our back ups are not good. High ceiling, but right now we can't say we have a good QB room

Thanks. 80% of this video's viewers thank you

I’m thinking we’re about even with Georgia, but I’d give Texas an edge… RTR

@@skipgumphrey9579 Based on Manning?

I think you have a great QB but only if your new HC can make his offense work with him. I don't see Milroe putting up the passing numbers Penix did. Asking Milroe to pass it over 500 times might be a stretch so I hope they can adapt the offense to complement him.

@@stevejohnson6248 Don’t expect him to put up Phenix type of passing numbers. It is possible that he could combine passing and rushing numbers that are equally good. However, I’m comparing this room to UT and UGA.

Milroe not even the best qb at Alabama Simpson is. Roll tide!

It became obvious when he played against elite competition in high school, won Elite 11, and then stepped in when Ewers got hurt and lit up the teams he played.

My condolences. The eye test is much easier when they aren't crossed.

He meant to say "Arch is the most overrated back up in the country"

Walker Howard is unproven, so Ole Miss has 3rd best qb room. But Arch Manning has 5 completions for 30 yards and is the best backup in the country, lol

​@ShaunRHouser he did not play elite competition in high school, nor did he light up any team

Milroe had some serious flaws last year (I watched the Iron Bowl. Final miracle play or not, most of that hot mess was on Milroe to begin with. ) DeBoer can hopefully work out those problems and fix them. Georgia's loss to Bama last year was fair and square, as we were plagued by injuries and lacked the depth of years past to compensate. I think both teams were pretty much equal in terms of strength overall..... but Beck was the better QB throughout the season. Funny enough, Georgia's _worst_ game was also against Auburn on the road last year. We scraped by 27-20. A better score than Bama in the Iron Bowl.

Uh, no. Milroe was not better than Beck last year.

​@@geebeeingalol ok homer. SEC champs. RTR

​@@katarhMilroe had a trash line and a terrible center but still won the sec and made the playoffs. Cope all you need to tho.

@@geebeeinga Milroe had one of the worst offensive lines in the country. Beck had so many bad games and bad passes and was overhyped by his stats (against trash teams btw). Go watch him against Auburn, Bama, and Mizzou... did not play well at all.

They about to find out this year

Ewers is the most injury prone QB currently in college football and screws up at the slightest sound of foot steps being gun shy as hell. That UGA defense is gonna light his ass up if he makes it that far into the season

​@@paulshears5202lol..you didn't learn when bevo dunked the lol bulldog last time?😅😂🤣😭

@@adryellehastings4675 I don’t understand what you said. UGA bulldogs gonna get after Ewers and his scared bitch ass he will be running for his life and screwing up like he always does when he gets even the slightest pressure. Texas will not win that game and I’m not a fan either team

Yeah electric garbage can 🗑 🚮

come back here in 7 months when georgia is in the playoffs. you’ll probably backtracking about their schedule calling it soft by then

1. He is more mobile than you think, I watched him tuck and go a few times last year and was surprised. 2. If you actually watched him throw the football, he is an elite passer. A very good QB and the best thrower Georgia has had since Aaron Murray/Matt Stafford

he threw for over 74% 2 years ago, he threw for over 72% last year. he threw for 4,000 yards last year with 24 tds and only 6 ints. if you dont think that is elite in the sec, i need about 400 dollars of whatever the fuck youre smoking.

@@TheGonzorelic elite my ass ,against who ball st,uab, Austin p,vandy south carolina, my fkn momma could pass on those weak ass teams ,bet that dude don't have 4000 this year ,weak ass schedule is gone, Georgia don't have the receivers and your superman is gone

All I know about Beck is that the dude looks like a Fallout ghoul. I can't rate him above a B+ based on that alone.
