00:00Can we do something more fun
00:01and just talk about the top eight quarterbacks in the SEC?
00:04Yeah.
00:05Starting with number eight.
00:06These are Rusty Manziel's, the RM meter.
00:09This is the RM meter.
00:11Number eight, and because I don't know how healthy he is,
00:15somebody might fly off the handle.
00:16Right now I have Sam Levitt, the transfer to LSU,
00:19who they paid $6.5 million for.
00:21Bo, he's got some.
00:23I don't know how healthy he is.
00:24I don't know how healthy he is, okay?
00:26I'm all right with that.
00:27Yeah, we'll see.
00:27It very well could be two or three.
00:29When he hits the field, he's got that upside in him.
00:32He's got Heisman upside in him.
00:34They paid.
00:36He's the number one free agent in college football.
00:38He's got the Heisman upside.
00:39He's eighth in the RM meter.
00:41I won't see him play.
00:41He's not healthy.
00:42He ain't healthy.
00:43All right, who's seven?
00:44Number seven is Byron Brown,
00:45who came with Alex Golish from South Florida.
00:48Didn't have a great spring game.
00:50Throwing interceptions all over the place.
00:51People were freaking out.
00:52I actually watched South Florida play a couple times last year.
00:55I like him.
00:56Auburn fans, we'll see how far you go with him.
00:58That was their guy.
00:59That's number seven.
01:00Number six for me is Kamari Taylor.
01:02I think this guy is the Mississippi State.
01:04He is an absolute slinger.
01:07I think people are going to realize, I think he's 6'5", 6'6".
01:11They're all in on him down here.
01:12I don't know how many pieces they have around him,
01:14but I know this guy can slinger.
01:15Kamari Taylor.
01:16Georgia went after him late hard.
01:18I didn't know that.
01:19Yeah, Mississippi.
01:21Number six.
01:22Is this number six?
01:23Five.
01:23Five.
01:23This would be John Mateer, Oklahoma.
01:26And he needs a big bounce back year.
01:28You know, all the pitchers being viral.
01:30You know, how yoked up he is.
01:32Yep.
01:32He was hurt last year.
01:34They got a hell of a schedule this year.
01:35They got a hell of a schedule,
01:36but they got a hell of a team around him.
01:37It's also the first real big game for Kirby and company
01:40when they roll into Athens in September.
01:43Yeah, on the 26th, I think.
01:44Yeah.
01:44This is a guy that might be a little controversial.
01:46Don't care.
01:47I love him.
01:48They got a new offensive coordinator, Kendall Browse,
01:50of South Carolina, and the North Sellers.
01:52Can they be healthy around him?
01:54I think this guy's got all the tools.
01:56Is he number three?
01:57Is he number three?
01:58He's number four.
01:59Number four.
02:01Well, keep in mind that Sellers is going to be one of those names
02:03you hear about.
02:04The Falcons are what we think they're going to be.
02:06They're going to be looking at a quarterback,
02:08and that's one of the names that you keep hearing as well.
02:11How he looks this year will tell us a lot.
02:14Right?
02:14Yep.
02:14Been hearing his name a lot.
02:16Yeah.
02:16He's got to stay healthy, man.
02:17People around him have pieces around him.
02:19All right.
02:20Next three, obviously, will be easy
02:22because these all have pretty good Heisman odds,
02:25and they play big games at big programs.
02:28Number three for me would be Gunnar Stockton.
02:30Gunnar Stockton after a stellar 2025 campaign.
02:33I think he's got a lot.
02:34I think he's still got some improvement to do.
02:36Dude, listen, I've heard the last three or four days
02:39for Gunnar Stockton in Athens,
02:41and he has a big scrimmage on Saturday.
02:43I heard he has looked damn good the last couple of days.
02:46We shall see.
02:47How's that group of receivers around him?
02:49We'll find out.
02:50Biggest question.
02:51Yeah.
02:51Biggest question.
02:52Number two.
02:52Number two.
02:53I'll go with Archie Manning.
02:55I think he's got a lot of upside left.
02:57I went on record last year.
02:58I said, people, slow your roll.
03:00He's never been in this seat.
03:02He's never played some of these games.
03:04He's never been in some of these buildings.
03:05The last four or five games, and I agree with Dan Orlowski,
03:09who I trust a lot with quarterback evals.
03:12The last four or five games, Arch Manning,
03:14the sample that he put on the table is what you want to see.
03:19Obviously, they went out, and they've got everything for him.
03:21Everything around him.
03:22They go and get Hollywood Smothers running back
03:24to go out and get Cam Coleman.
03:25They went out and got everybody put around him.
03:28The Texas offense is going to be one of the most exciting units
03:32in college football.
03:34And Arch Manning on the RM meter is number two.
03:37Who wins the RM meter?
03:40It's Trinidad Chambliss.
03:41I mean.
03:42You're obsessed with him.
03:43Dude.
03:44After what he did to Georgia twice.
03:46I know it hurts.
03:46Listen to this.
03:473,900 yards.
03:4922 touchdowns.
03:51Three interceptions.
03:52One of those interceptions wasn't even his fault.
03:53The tip ball.
03:54Threw it through receivers' hands.
03:57What he can do in this day and age,
04:00they didn't know what they had in him.
04:01Do they beat Lane Kiffin in Oxford?
04:05Do they beat Lane Kiffin in LSU in Oxford?
04:08Do you think about being a hero for life?
04:10I think a lot of things work in Ole Miss' favor right there.
04:13It's early in the year.
04:14They're all in on that game.
04:16Lane's still going to be trying to figure things out.
04:18I think LSU's going to be damn good.
04:20But I want to see where they are.
04:21I want to see what Sam Levitt,
04:22because I know what Trinidad Chambliss brings to the table.
04:24Talk about being a hero forever in Oxford.
04:27I mean, he already is.
04:28He already is.
04:28I mean, he already had the two wins last year,
04:30right, in the playoffs.
04:31Yep.
04:32If they can beat Lane Kiffin in Oxford,
04:34no matter what happens else,
04:35that's going to be something.
04:36Good job.
04:37That's the RM meter.
04:38I'm going to put you to work like that in the future.
04:39I like that.
04:41RM meter.
04:42What a year in the SEC that is coming up.
04:45Oh, my gosh.
04:45I didn't even talk about Aaron Filo,
04:46Austin Simmons.
04:47I had a buddy who went to Vanderbilt's practice
04:49a couple weeks ago.
04:50He goes, Rusty?
04:52Jared Curtis looked damn good.
04:54Yeah, Vandy coming to Georgia
04:55the week after the Oklahoma game,
04:56by the way, back-to-back home games.
04:58That's when things get cooking in Athens.
04:59You want to talk about things ramped up?
05:01You want to talk about a revved-up crowd?
05:03Let Jared Curtis be starting that game in Athens.
05:06Oof.
05:06You want to talk about a revved-up crowd?
05:06You want to talk about a revved-up crowd?
05:06You want to talk about a revved-up crowd?
