Not Kaaya's fault.

So far, he's the best pro-style QB from that class, and top 3 QB overall from that class.

No, not his fault, but comparing total numbers when other QBs haven't had a chance to play due to their teams having proper QB depth is not their fault either. I'm not saying that Kaaya isn't one of the best QBs in the class (I think he is), just that using total stats for a QB after being out of school for 2 years is not a fair comparison.

Pretty much him or Watson is #1 or #2 . The guy from ttech plays in an air raid offense and they throw it ALOT

wasn't talking about TTech dude, I was talking about Kyle Allen from Texas A&M, even thought they also run a spread.
Keller Kryst Is probably going to start this year for Stanford, so we'll see what he does. I think he'll be good.
But looking at these draft classes this year and next year, there hasn't been any superstar qbs really like Jameis and Mariota last year. Obviously Jared Goff is going to be a top pick, but he was rated like 18th pocket passer out of HS and he started 3 years at Cal. Paxton Lynch is kinda an unknown and heating up alot, but until this year NO ONE knew his name, which leads me to think he won't be good in the NFL. You need sustained success in college to be a top draft pick at QB imo. Hackenburg has been a bust at PSU thus far. Connor Cook wont be a 1st round pick, and after 3 years starting for a Playoff team isn't even a captain of his team. So this years qb class isn't THAT good. Deep, but not great or anything.
Next year won't be any better though. If Deshaun Watson or Kaaya doesn't come out early, there will be no one, unless Goff or Lynch stay another year. Qbs been a little dissapointing i think.

Kaaya is still one of the better QBs from that class, regardless of the excuses you or Neal come up with for other QBs.

right. they sound dumb as **** making excuses for the other qbs.
 
Now imagine Kaaya playing under real coaches who can call plays, don't think of bubble screens as their goto play, have an effective O line, and will not be constantly losing field position due to mass confusion on the sidelines. Just sayin'.

Mahomes has looked decent the few times I've watched Kliff Gosling's team play but you almost have to throw it out as any sign of legitimate QB performance just based on the system they run.

He's the best QB in that class and I don't think it's even close. With a good year next year he's a 1st round pick. With a great year he can be the 1st overall pick.
