You're confusing potential ceiling with current reality.

Current reality is Haynes is 5th in the ACC in overall quarterback ratings.  There's not a single category that produces those rankings where he's better than Carson Beck.

You know you can’t judge running QBs strictly via passing metrics.   He is averaging 130 rushing yards and 2 TD a game on the ground to go WITH his passing

I'm not talking about statistics. I'm not PFF. I'm talking about watching the games and saying "who's the best college QB here?" and it's Haynes.

If you're Tennessee you absolutely have to go for the killshot in OT, settling for a field goal screwed em. Well the kicker missed the game winner at the end of the 4th quarter as well, I wouldn't have even attempted a field goal in OT. Get a TD or die trying.

I agree with you, King is a clutch Qb, heck of a player.

Expected points through rushes is factored in.  I didn't discount his rush yards. 

Now if you are arguing that he's the best dual threat QB in the ACC, I'll agree with that.

I don’t even know what stats you are referring to right now.  Lot of the stats now get dumb.  You mentioned QB rating.  Which is a pass only stat. 

If I’m trying to win a college football game and I get to pick any ACC QB? Give me the GT kid all day.   Easy call IMO.

No it's not, that would be moronic to not take rushing into account in today's game.

Nussmeier might be the best QB prospect this year 

[LinvilleGorge]

Uh oh. Sellers is down.

[LinvilleGorge]

He seems alright.

[LinvilleGorge]

Oh wow. SCar just got shafted. They decided LATE to review the hit for targeting  meanwhile, by the time the whistle blew SCar had already completed a pass and the receiver was off to the races.

Which is terrifying as a QB needy team.

[LinvilleGorge]

No word on Sellers but SCar looks to be finishing out the 1st half with their backup QB despite their being multiple stoppages and timeouts. He's on the sideline with no helmet.
