QB Grading System [Big 10 QB's]

OSUBuckeye4Life

"THE" Ohio State Buckeyes
Scout Inc. Evaluation


<HR><!--EZCODE HR END-->Scouts Inc. will evaluate the quarterbacks on the following criteria:


1. Arm Strength: Do they show good RPMs and wrist snap to get good velocity? Do they consistently throw a tight spiral? Do they have enough zip on deep outs?


2. Set Up Quicks: Do they have quick feet and is their drop speed at least adequate? Are they balanced when they are set? How is their body positioning?


3. Accuracy: Do they have the ability to throw the deep ball and the touch to throw the short ball? Do they throw a catchable ball? Do they have the ability to fit the ball in where only their receivers can catch it or where their receivers can make a play?


4. Field Vision: Do they see the whole field? Are they quick enough to go through their progressions and locate the second or third receiver?


5. Running Ability: Are they a threat to run out of the pocket? Can they make plays on the run? Can they avoid the rush? Do they have quick feet and can they make people miss?


6. Delivery: Do they have a quick release or is there a windup? Is their release high or low? How are their overall mechanics?


7. Ball Handling: Are their ball fakes good enough to freeze linebackers? Do they have the ability to look off defenders, or do they zone in on one receiver and force it?


8. Leadership: Do they possess the ability to move the team when the chips are down? Do they have poise under pressure? Do their teammates believe in them? And how do they play after an interception? Do they get rattled?<!--EZCODE HR START-->

On a scale of 1-10 [with 5 being average] what would you rate the following QB's?

Chad Henne

Drew Stanton

Troy Smith

Drew Tate

Etc [Brasic, Powers, etc]

Henne - 7. He looks like he can be a solid QB if you give him a good running back to take the pressure off him, and if you give him a good target to hit (like Braylon Edwards was). But I haven't seen anything that would indicate that he can be relied upon as "the man" on that offense.

Stanton - 7. Good mobility. Unlike Henne, I think he can be "the man" on his offense, but I've seen him throw passes that were like, "Where the hell was he throwing that?"

Smith - 9. Not much to complain about, if anything. He has great arm strength, great mobility, better than average field vision. He doesn't make many mistakes (I think it was only 4 INT's last year). His accuracy is nothing to complain about. Why don't I give him a 10? I guess I'm saving 10's for the out-of-this-world QB's. I can't think of any QB in college this year who deserves a 10, off the top of my head.

Tate - 8. He seems to pick defenses apart (except he didn't against tOSU last year). I think that he and Smith are similar in many aspects, but Smith has him beat on his mobility.
