Brent Stockstill at 23, too high? too low?

2016 CFB Top 30 QB Rankings

It feels too low to me but when have we ever had a top 25 caliber QB as an FBS school? It's pretty cool to see him there with that group. I think he's on the level of Kelly and Rosen to be honest. He murdered Tanner Mangum's stats last year and he's too high. If I were to rank him with all of those QB's I think 11th would be a better ranking given that he was statistically the best freshman QB last year with 4000 + yards.

Since he has only been a starter for one year, I think its ok...then I saw Dobbs at #15. All this is a crap shoot.

Seven returning QBs threw over 4k yds in 2015. Stockstill is the 7th QB

Stockstill is 9th in QBR

Stock should be at least in top 20. He will get some Heisman hype this year if all goes well.

Can we slow the Stock-hype train down just a bit? Stock is a RS-So QB with loads of potential but he has much to work on. Opposing teams now have a year of film to analyze and game plan for the upcoming season.

Can he make the jump? Certainly. But let's stop writing him in as a darkhorse Heisman contender and keep everything down on planet earth where it belongs... I

Sorry but he deserves it. The more hype he gets the more exposure our program gets and the more players will take a serious look at our program. He can handle it. Technically he is a rs sophomore but in reality he is a rs junior. Remember he grey shirted for a fall.

Thanks to a somewhat odd rule, Stock was actually eligible for the NFL draft last year (greyshirt, redshirt, redshirt freshman).

I have no issue with including Stock in a list of top 30 QB in CFB, my issue is with calling a redshirt-sophomore from a CUSA school a darkhorse Heisman candidate. Is it possible with CTF - certainly. Is it likely - no. Let's not forget last time MT had a 'darkhorse Heisman" (Hicks for Heisman). It didn't exactly bode well as MT limped to a 4-8 record in 2002. Less than a decade later, Dasher was billed as a darkhorse candidate in 2010 before his gambling fiasco.
