Connor Cook, Michigan State
Evaluators are keeping a close eye on Cook after the Michigan State standout put together a pair of impressive performances in the Big Ten Championship Game and Rose Bowl. He displayed the poise, moxie and resiliency to make big plays in a high-pressure environment with the game on the line in those contests. Additionally, Cook showcased the pocket-passing skills and arm strength to thrive in an offense that places the burden on the quarterback to create plays in the passing game. With Michigan State expected to open it up in 2014, Cook could make a major move up the charts this season.

Marcus Mariota, Oregon
There's a faction of NFL scouts that believed Mariota would have been the top quarterback in the 2014 class if he decided to jump to the pros following a spectacular sophomore campaign. However, the 6-foot-4, 212-pound playmaker elected to return to Eugene to continue to refine his footwork and fundamentals in the pocket. More importantly, Mariota is on a mission to lead the Ducks to the College Football Playoff, which would showcase his exceptional leadership skills and poise as a potential franchise quarterback. With a rare combination of skills as an athletic pocket passer, Mariota is a new-school quarterback capable of taking the NFL by storm in a few years.
Are you claiming Mariota is a pocket passer rathern than dual threat like you did with Blake Sims?

You have listed Blake Sime ( a DT) Marioto (DT) Conner Cook (PP) and Bryce Petty (PP). So when coming up with the great PPs you are arguing for you come up with 2 PPs and two DTs.
The top ten rated playoff contenders and their type QBs are as follows:
1. Bama - DT
2. Oregon - DT
3. TCU - DT
4. Fla St. - DT
5. Ohio St. - DT
6. Baylor - PP
7. Arizona - DT
8. Mich St. - PP
9. Kansas St. - DT
10. Miss. St. - DT
I can see your argument that a pocket passer is much better than having a dual threat for success in college football. Oh, by the way, of the last 7 Heisman Trophy winning QBs, 6 were dual threats (Winston, Manziel. RGIII, Newton, Tebow, Troy Smith) and only one a pocket passer (Bradford).
Can we forever dispense with this insane notion that somehow a dual threat QB is a bad thing. There is no factual basis to support that clearly biased position. Having a bad QB is a bad thing, regardless of whether he is a DT or PP. The goal should be having a great QB, not a type of QB. Anyone who would pass on the above 7 Heisman winning QBs or the 8 QBs of the top 10 playoff teams because they are DTs is a nutjob with some type of wierd agenda.

Can you tell me about Rivers? We never saw him play, as well as I can remember. Did he graduate or transfer. Was he a pure passer?

Transferred to Vandy. They went 0-8 and he played quite poorly in what little he did play. That should give you an idea.
