The fact that QBR doesn't seem to be factored in really takes away from the credibility of this list.

Couldn't agree more

Renders it completely bogus ...

Flowers has got nothing but hate from a lot of fans here and has done nothing but made you guys eat your words.  Not only did he break most of the QB single season records last season, those of guys you'll love to speak of nicely now, but he led us to one of our best seasons in 10 years.  He literally won the Uconn and SMU games.  He doesn't throw a lot of ints and he was six or eight yards short of passing for 2000 and rushing for 1000 (I think he finished with 994 or 992). The offense broke a school scoring record and he broke records for QB rushing, QB rushing TDs, QB rushing yards in a game, and passing TDs in a season.  The only thing any of you about Woulard is he threw spirals in practice.  Well he did that at UCLA and they gave up on him.  I hate to burst some bubbles here but I've seen Woulard since he got UCLA... he's not that good.  He's a poor decision maker and he even before Rosen he was falling back.  He came to USF because he thought he could start and be close to home because at the time we didn't have a QB.  Flowers is the guy, Woulard is not the same kind of dynamic player and he has heavy feet.  He's not a good runner at all.  

 

But what's cool is that others around the nation are see the potential of our QB... and our fans do what they always do.. root for the backup and trash the starter. smh

Its great press for USF. 

There is no accurate predictions. Only realistic results after a season.

It's really only a noisy few who really just can't seem to handle Flowers as the starter, or pine for Woulard to start.  I think most on here are happy with the job Flowers did last year and are looking forward to him stepping forward this next year and hopefully winning a conference title.

We must have watched different games than Calibull. How many times did Flowers overthrow or under throw WIDE OPEN receivers, running backs, etc. week in and week out? Even in the bowl game, they dared us to beat them in the air. 

Yes, Flowers set a record for TD's thrown in a season - but it's because teams didn't respect his arm accuracy the least bit, stacking the box game after game after game. Teams will give up a home run a game if they can key specifically on one aspect of our game. Every now and then, Flowers would connect with a receiver wide friggen open that would take it to the house. IF Flowers could have hit those guys on a regular basis, we're talking three less losses and Marlon Mack with an insane season.

I hope Flowers does figure things out this season - because if he hits those receivers on a routine basis, Mack is going to go wild when the box isn't stacked against the run.

So you've never seen other QBs in the country overthrow WRs or toss a few bad passes?  I've seen some of the best QBs in the nation do what you're saying and you make it seem like that's all he did.  Somewhere in there he lead us to ab 8-5 season.  To me you seem as if you just don't like the kid because you're a fan of a different type of QB.  I'm willing to bet you thought Eveld should have started over BJ and were likely one complaining that Grothe wasn't good enough and we needed a "real" qb.  I think you're in the small minority on this one which means maybe you're watching with bias.  You want him to fail, so that's what you see.  Mack broke a single season rushing record because nobody was stacking the box.  He did hit quite a few deep TDs this season.  He's made people pay for stacking the box.

Flowers' completion % was 59% this year.  Combined with 22 TDs and 8 picks, that's pretty solid for any college QB.  Every QB misses guys, there are many factors as to reasons why.  You should know this.  

I'm willing to bet we see a lot less guys in the box this year.

I'm curious to how many drops there were too in that completion percentage. QF is a gamer and is willing to put the team on his back. The staff will have competition at every position like they do every year and we will see what happens, but it's great to see any recognition for the players and the program in any article.
