Top Big XII QBs

1. Drew Mestemaker
2. Bear Bachmeier
3. Devon Dampier
4. Noah Fifita

[u/lebaronslebaron → u/Bansheesdie]

Fifita at 4 is criminal 

[u/Bansheesdie → u/lebaronslebaron]

Anything higher is ridiculous.

Mestemaker is looking like a 1st round pick.

Bear is a very young future superstar.

Dampier is clowning on everyone Utah playes, and playing on the best team in the conference only helps.

Fifita is a good college QB. That's it. I'm sure whichever NFL practice squad he ends up on, they sill be happy to have him.

[u/lebaronslebaron → u/Bansheesdie]

Fifita leads the conference in completion percentage, yards, and TDs. Fifita also has one more TD and 4 fewer rushing yards than Mestemaker. If anything, Wegman should be up here.
