BOOM Mallett'd.

Carolina,

Nathan Stanely will more than likely be the backup for Snead this season, and according to some of the Ole Miss faithful, he throws a pretty good deep ball.

I don't know if that's the only strength he posesses, but if it is, he won't be much of a backup compared to Tyler Wilson.

I think the interesting thing is that Tyler Wilson could probably end up being near the top half of this list if he got playing time. An injury here and there and all bets are off. Who has the most capable backup? I'm not a Nutt hater but I know his strengths and weaknesses and I feel confident that he probably doesn't have a second quality qb. Florida would still be tough. God, I can't wait to get this season started.

Finally, football is here.

Good list, can't argue too much. Mallett has his Michigan experience to draw on. That will be big for his development. I really like Jefferson at LSU.

College football is all about chemistry. It is great fun to watch each new team develop as the season progresses. But, Orville always said that QB was THE position for any football team. The team would go only as far as the QB. We have two good ones and a coach who hates to lose.

Anonymous, I didn't get that 'Sunshine' tag by mistake. I think Mallett will prove his standing by mid-season.

It should be noted, for reference, that Phil Steele's 2009 College Football Preview also has Mallett on his Third-Team All-SEC team behind both Tebow and Sneed.

I thought you had caught a bad case of that Rick Schaeffer Homeritis when I saw Mallett listed at #3. Then I scanned the rest of the list. This is an unusually down year for the SEC in terms of returning marquee QBs. I'm sure some will develop into stars, but it's basically Tebow and everyone else. Let's hope Mallett proves deserving of the #3 spot.
