2016 Quarterbacks Rivals Rankings

Kirby Dumbass.. Had his QB and let him slip away to OSU... He should've started Fields, turned the offense loose and let Frohm transfer... IMO of course...

That cause and effect gave LSU a National Championship. Also gives Ohio State nearly even odds to win it in 2020 unless Lawrence returns to form or the freshman at Bama (Young) is as good as advertised. Either way, Georgia moved their clock to at a minimum 2021.

Two things from that list that stood out: (1) That was an exceptionally bad year for QB recruits; (2) Ranking QB's can be a very difficult process. Case in point, Justin Herbert from Oregon, who wasn't even listed, was the 26th ranked Pro-Style QB (659 nationally ranked player; 85.84). Looking at the other years evaluations, it's not just 2016 that was ugly. 2017 and 2018 (minus Lawrence and Fields) were equally brutal. It's crazy the number of misses.
