Don’t Punt To Gio: Ranking the quarterbacks the Tar Heels will face in 2019

Independent of Carolina’s defense (a story for another day), who will be behind center against the Heels this year?

Jacob Cowden (@jacobcowden28) wrote about it, so you know what that means: we had to talk about it. Host Chad Floyd (@Chad_Floyd) brought the quarterback-ranking Tar Heel Blog colleague to discuss his rankings, break down some rationale, and let Chad quibble very slightly with his picks.

Discussed:

  • Chad didn’t do his research on Mercer’s QB;
  • COASTAL CHAMP Kenny Pickett of Pitt;
  • Interesting battles at N.C. State, Georgia Tech, and (possibly?) Miami;
  • Ryan Willis: decent-to-good quarterback, should’ve just started his career at North Dakota State;
  • Jake Bentley, and comparisons to Jake Browning (formerly of Washington), and it being confusing because this year’s Washington QB is Jacob Eason and we’re talking to Jacob Cowden;
  • Trevor Lawrence: the best college QB this millennium.
