 Tate Forcier has already been handed the starting role for the Michigan Wolverines as a true freshman during spring practice. But there’s a catch – he hasn’t exactly earned that spot. Not yet, anyhow. But becoming the starter as a true freshman may have been inevitable, anyhow. Read more from Tate Forcier Will Likely Get His Chance To Shine As Starter For Michigan  Quarterback John Brantley has some huge shoes to fill in the likes of Tim Tebow for the Florida Gators. Brantley isn’t on anybody’s radar this year, except the coaching staff at Florida, but he should be. He’s going to see a lot of playing time this year and he’s the future at quarterback for the Gators. He’ll see tons of playing time in the spring game, and he brings a lot to the Read more from John Brantley: Florida Gators Backup Quarterback – Spring Game Preview  Quarterback Tim Tebow is one of the most talked about college football quarterbacks in the land, and for good reason. Tebow has been nothing but stellar in leading the Florida Gators to the top of the SEC, to the National Championship, and has ammassed every record, trophy, and title you could possibly win along the way. He has been innovative, with his “jump pass” being a fantastically effective creation, he’s been a tremendous running quarterback, an accurate and strong-armed passing quarterback, a tremendous team leader, and has impeccable character. But with everyone aiming at him this year, will he be able to live up to the expectations? Read more from NCAA Quarterbacks 2009: The Top Three Part III – Tim Tebow  Quarterback Sam Bradford was not highly recruited out of high school. Bradford was rated a 3-star prospect and was overshadowed by many of the high-powered recruits in his class. But I’ll bet ya anything he didn’t mind that a bit. As a red-shirt freshman he won the starting position and never looked back. It’s rumored that he reads the story “David and Goliath” before every game – but I’ve got news for Sam Bradford – he’s not David anymore – and everyone he faces will be reading that same book before gametime. Read more from NCAA Quarterbacks 2009: The Top Three Part II – Sam Bradford  Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators, Colt McCoy of the Texas Longhorns, and Sam Bradford of the Oklahoma Sooners. These three quarterbacks are slated to be the premier gunslingers of 2009, but you know there will be others that rise up to steal some of the spotlight before the 2009 season is out. Who will win the Heisman? Who will play for their conference championship? For these three NCAA hometown heroes, nothing will satisfy any of them short of the National Championship – and don’t let anyone tell you Read more from NCAA Quarterbacks 2009: The Top Three Part I – Colt McCoy  Quarterback Matt Stafford was recently referred to directly, and indirectly, by a number of current Georgia Bulldog players when it came to the idea of team leadership, unity, drive, and determination. Matt Stafford’s quarterbacking skills were never called into question, but last year’s Georgia Bulldogs were a big disappointment and it seems a lot of fingers are being pointed at last year’s seniors, and the fact that there was too much focus on superstars going to the NFL rather than bringing a team together to win an SEC championship, and possibly a national championship. Matt Stafford says he’s ready to take on a leadership role in rebuilding the Detroit Lions, but we better just wait one minute before we delegate the task of Lion Savior to Read more from Matt Stafford: Leadership Abilities Questioned By Several Georgia Bulldogs  Well Ohio State Buckeye fans, you better hope Terrelle Pryor really is going to be your savior, because as Brian Cook’s article recently noted, Terrelle Pryor is the only quarterback Ohio State really has so he better stay healthy, and he better be great! “You see, Ohio State backup quarterbacks Rob Schoenhoft and Antonio Henton transferred last year, leaving Pryor, senior Todd Boeckman, and 26-year-old ex-minor-league-baseball-player and walk-on Joe Bauserman the only quarterbacks on the roster. Boeckman is now out of eligibility….So, yeah, next year Ohio State’s quarterback depth chart will be Terrelle Pryor, Walk-on baseball guy, and basically Nick Sheridan.” Terrifying! Now there’s no question that Terrelle Pryor showed he can be the man at Ohio State. And there’s no question that he’s sure he’s the man everywhere he goes. Yeah, he’s immensely talented, a huge guy at 6′6″, and unfortunately the only hope The Buckeyes have. Will Pryor Have The Leadership Skills? Terrelle Read more from Terrelle Pryor: The Only Quarterback The Buckeyes Really Have  Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger both committed to the Georgia Bulldogs for the 2009 season, and after the departure of Matt Stafford, everybody is looking to the future to see what’s in store for the Georgia Bulldogs this year. But not so fast. You have a fifth year senior in Joe Cox that’s more than ready to take the helm and has already been awarded the starting position for 2009. So either Aaron Murray or Zach Mettenberger will take over in 2010? Not so fast, again! You have Logan Gray, a sophomore, a close second behind Cox. But let me tell ya, it’s gonna be all that Gray can do to hold off the two recruits behind him for the starting job in 2010 and beyond – and maybe even for the backup spot in 2009. Aaron Murray – Georgia Bulldogs – A True Freshman Gunslinger Aaron Murray – The Gunslinger Aaron Read more from Georgia Bulldogs: Two Top Freshmen Quarterbacks Ready and Waiting Behind Cox and Stafford  Quarterbacks will be the story at several big-time NCAA football programs this year, and the spring game will be the first big opportunity to shine for several of these quarterbacks. It will also be the first chance for college football fans to see their Gridiron Generals take control of the offense and hopefully show what they can do at the collegiate level. There’s going to be a lot of nervous and excited fans in the stands, but even more nervous quarterbacks on the sidelines as this is the moment that they’ve worked all of their lives for – a chance to be the starting QB in Division I college Read more from Two True Freshman Quarterbacks To Watch in the 2009 NCAA Football Spring Games  Pat White and Drew Willy are two quarterbacks who are not getting the recognition they deserve. With all the talk about Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, and Josh Freeman, everybody is overlooking Drew Willy and Pat White. I’m a season ticket holder for the Buffalo Bulls, so I’ve watched Drew Willy play for years now. And I’ve watched my share of Pat White, including yesterday’s NFL combine, and even I was totally impressed with his quarterbacking abilities. Pat White – His Quarterbacking Skills are Underrated Pat White made a great showing at the 2009 NFL Combine. He was the surprise of the day for the quarterbacks in my book – and a lot of the analysts agreed. We know about Pat White’s athleticism – he ran a 4.5 in the 40 yd dash and hit his head on the dome roof in the vertical. He’s not big at about 6′0″ 200 lbs, but Read more from Pat White and Drew Willy: Some Notes On Two Underrated Quarterbacks After The NFL Combine  There were several surprises for the quarterbacks at the 2009 NFL combine. Find out who rocked, and who stunk up the Read more from Quarterback Review: A Few Notes From The 2009 NFL Combine  Matt Stafford Holding A Keg Stafford….have you lost your mind? Matt Stafford is coming out of college as a junior and as I stated in a previous post, Stafford is being considered as a first round draft pick by the Detroit Lions. I personally don’t feel Stafford is ready for the NFL, but he wasn’t going to risk being taken in the 345th round in the 2010 NFL draft in the middle of what could be one of the best quarterback classes ever. But unless he knows something about the 2009 NFL draft that we don’t, this move just does not make any sense. How has this worked out in the past for others that have skipped the combine? Well, you need look no further than Brady Quinn, as he waited several hours before being drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the 22nd overall pick, and Matt Leinart, the Heisman Trophy winner, Read more from Matt Stafford Will Not Throw Or Bench Press At NFL Combine  The three quarterbacks that are projected for the first round in the 2009 NFL draft are: Matt Stafford – Georgia Bulldogs Many are still picking the Although the Detroit Lions need to address the Quarterback position, it doesn’t seem like drafting a quarterback this year would be the way to go, and Matt Stafford is no guarantee when it comes to playing in the NFL Read more from Matt Stafford May Be The First Overall NFL Draft Pick By The Detroit Lions in 2009  Josh Freeman is an amazing physical specimen. 6′6″ 240 pounds. Awesome arm strength. Very good speed. Elusive. All that good stuff.
