Does anyone really think that someone from Buffalo or New Mexico State is going to win this trophy, they shouldnt select a watch list until 3, 4, or 5 games through the season. You never know who might show up and play well.

CJ Bacher is a bit of a surprise. He's a talented guy but I don't know if he's even in the discussion of the Nation's best quarterback.

Yoh have to put Tyrod Taylor the nod ahead of Shawn Glennon because everywhere I've read on VT has him getting more playing time this season.

Hunter Cantwell will suprise alot of people being behind Brian Brohm most of his career at UofL. He's a winner. And he has proved himself when Brohm was injured. Theres a reason he is named on this list not ever starting a whole year until given a chance his senior year! That's amazing!!

No Stafford, interesting. No Sanchez either.
Do they usually select the watch list from the previous year's stats?

This will be interesting if Sanchez remains off this list. Sanchez will lead USC to the National Championship -- when that happens, Boeckman, Tebow, and all of the others won't hold a candle to Sanchez' bright light!!! FIGHT ON!

I think this Olson kid from UCLA could be good if he stays healthy.

Ben Olson of UCLA is frail, slow, and predictable. The next time you see any UCLA rerun from 2007, watch this clown...He always rolls out of the pocket to the left!!! Everytime!
