I'll be the first to say that Kyle still has too many drives where he seems off, and seemed to regress in the 1st half yesterday. However, it seems like this is year where there are very few truly elite QBs, and Kyle may still actually be one of the best? I was taking a look at ESPN's total QBR, and he's ahead of some notable guys that I bet a lot of us would trade for. Obviously it's just one version of a total QB ranking, but it's a good reminder that a lot of fanbases are cursing their QB situation right now too.
- J.J. McCarthy (MICH) - 93.6
- Michael Penix (WASH) - 91.6
- Dillon Gabriel (OU) - 91.0
- Jayden Daniels (LSU) - 90.1
- Conner Weigman (TA&M) - 87.7
- Kyle McCord (OSU) - 86.6
- DJ Uiagalelei (ORST) - 86.5
- Caleb Williams (USC) - 86.2
- Drake Maye (UNC) - 85.8
- Tyler Van Dyke (MIA) - 84.5 ... 15: Quinn Ewers (TEXAS) - 81.1 ... 21: Drew Allar (PSU) - 75.2
For discussion purposes, I'll note that CJ's full-season QBR last year was 87.7.
