like the hype surrounding him far outweighs how good he actually is. But maybe I'm just biased against him based on who he plays for.

If that's true, it's gonna be a tough year for QB's

Has any QB ever gotten more accolades for accomplishing less than Cam Rising?

cougarfan84

Aug 29, 3:14pm

But he lost the Rose Bowl twice!

Huge Manatee

Aug 29, 3:16pm

Did he?

TFL

Aug 29, 3:19pm

So he's injury prone?

Revolution

Aug 29, 3:22pm

Ah gotcha. That's how ute fans count both Rose Bowls as wins.

ManicBlue

Aug 29, 3:32pm

No. A loss is a loss. Just don’t see how you’d blame Cam Rising for the losses

TFL

Aug 29, 4:47pm

Well he didn't win

Huge Manatee

Tied with OSU's bowl game 3rd stringers. LOL

whirl

Aug 29, 3:49pm

Stroud, Harrison Jr and Njibia? lol

TFL

Aug 29, 4:48pm

Harrison was a frosh and not a starter.

BYU '80

Aug 29, 10:32pm

Yeah, they all sucked.

TFL

Aug 30, 12:48am

The guys they had available on defense did

BYU '80

Was he part of the team when they lost? Yep. Loser twice over.

Klatt is ranking individual QBs though

So he was tied with Ohio State's second string and was losing to 3rd place

Gentleman Stan

I didn't put him #3. Klatt did. I'm betting he's far more knowledgeable than you are. I'd say

TFL

I only responded to your re-characterization

Gentleman Stan

Aug 30, 10:21am

it's incredible. And will make the season very funny to watch

runnincoug

Aug 29, 3:19pm

To be fair, how many QBs from mid-tier schools

TFL

cougarfan84

Aug 29, 3:26pm

This is right. He's good, not great. And we've had a few losses that are on him...

Tokolosh

Aug 29, 3:28pm

So how does being good, not great qualify him as the third best quarterback?

thirdgencoug

Aug 29, 6:48pm

You won’t see me making that case.

Tokolosh

Aug 29, 9:08pm

He actually is great. He's elite on 3rd down and in the red zone and Utah has

UtahRising

Didn't the MWC have a winning record against the PAC one of those years

slatecoug

Aug 29, 4:23pm

Klatt might be looking at Rising’s performances against top 10

TFL

Aug 29, 5:14pm

The number 3 CFB QB has never thrown for 3000 yards during the regular season

deliciousmocha

Aug 29, 3:23pm

Sorry but I believe Texas has 2 QB's that are far better than Rising

BYUFam1

Aug 29, 3:43pm

I don't think you're wrong. Rising is a good but not great QB. He is great for

kos

Aug 29, 4:00pm

Only logical. Rising started at Texas and left because he was buried on the depth chart.

kccougar

Aug 29, 5:32pm

In order for Cam to have a shot at the NFL he has to avoid getting injured.

misterpepper

Aug 29, 4:14pm

He's not making it to the NFL unless he's a completely different player

Huge Manatee

Aug 29, 4:16pm

Rising wasn't a draft candidate even before his injury.

kccougar

Aug 29, 5:35pm

There are plenty of good college qb’s who aren’t NFL guys

arcawley

Aug 29, 5:46pm

Joel's in for some disappointment...

BYU Grounds

Aug 29, 4:50pm

Joel’s argument is built off team success with Rising

arcawley

Aug 29, 4:58pm

… and a very weak PAC12 for the two “Rise” Bowl years.

BluesBrother

USC wasn’t exactly weak in 2022 😂

Rising not better than Jaylon Daniels at Kansas or Jaxon Dart at Ole Miss

Aug 29, 5:35pm

Has any player ever generated more CB discussion than Rising?

CrimsonCardinal

Answer: Yes, easily

SWKTNative

Gabriel is literally going to win the heisman

1984coug

Aug 29, 8:19pm

This is going to be a REALLY weak QB draft class. Ewers is the only good one IMO

Reasonable1

Aug 29, 9:09pm

Sanders is an NFL QB too

ALC

Aug 30, 5:16am

How is Dillon Gabriel still playing CFB

Socrates Johnson

Aug 30, 6:16am

Same way Rising is…won’t get drafted so they are milking the NIL teet
