Gridiron Grading for the 2025 QBs

[MightyGiants]

I am not sure how they derive the grade, but they did provide a chart (that presumably shows the elements that go into the grade).  They also gave past grades to get a feel of the value of said grades

Interesting stuff. The main problem I see with it is that "college football ain't NFL football", and secondly, "what kind of team surrounded the QB" (5-star studs, or 3-1 star and walk-on players?")

I'd take these numbers with a grain of salt, as there's a lot of reasons one QB is successful, and another isn't. Can't assign a number to heart, football knowledge, ability to adjust to adversity, winning mentality, character, etc

Ric,

I think production matters.  I think you have scouted traits, measurables/testing, and production.  To me, when I hear about how great a player's testing or scouted traits are, I turn to production to see if they produced with those talents.  To your point about the team around them, when you are judging QBs you also have to consider the level of competition.  It's easier to throw against DBs who graduate to the working world then against DBs who end up in the NFL.
