QB Rankings

#15 = Mendoza
#9 = Grady Adamson
#14 = Graham Knowles

Watching the 3 of them throw from a pure athleticism standpoint, Mendoza and Adamson stand out to me. Both have quick, efficient releases.

This is why I don't think Knowles will end up being the guy. I just don't see him as being athletic enough to run the GT offense.

I should have prefaced my statement by saying I am clueless when it comes to picking this stuff in football. I was basing my eval purely on athleticism and throwing motions but playing QB is much more about being able to read the defense before the play and make adjustments accordingly. And then reading the defense after the snap while an insane amount of data points are being processed in real time and getting the ball to the proper place.

If Knowles is the best at that, then he'll win the job IMO. If not, one of the more athletic running QBs will get it. If everything is equal on the reading defenses part, I think you go with the athletic guy because it gives you an added dimension when they have to defend that 11th offensive player.

So he lettered in basketball in HS, but somehow you've determined he isn't athletic enough?

I'm concerned when I see Mendoza is at least 3" shorter than his brother. I love watching passes bounce off OL helmets.

Well, it is really 3.5 yards

1st down, stretch out, gain 3.5 yards.

2nd down, 6.5 yards to go, snap, stretch, gain 3.5 yards

3rd down, 3 yards to go, snap, stretch, gain 3.5 yards.......FIRST DOWN, GEORGIA TECH! (cue steam whistle)

Repeat until breaking plane of opponent's endzone.

It is unstoppable. We will win every game we play.

Waste.

All you needs is 2.51 yards per play.
