Which quarterbacks are the best UGA will face this fall? Find out now.

Spring practices have by and large wrapped up around the SEC, and with that in mind, the focus shifts to the upcoming season. The most important position in the world of football is the quarterback. The Southeastern Conference is no different.

The SEC has struggled with quarterback play the last several years. It has been extremely puzzling considering the conference is the best in the entire country. Having eight out of the last ten national championship teams hail from the SEC cannot be a bad thing after all.

It wasn’t long ago that the SEC’s QB play was one of its strength. Think back to 2013, Johnny Manziel, Aaron Murray, AJ McCarron, Nick Marshall, Zach Mettenberger, Bo Wallace and Dak Prescott were leaders of their respective teams.

Granted they haven’t been prolific in the NFL (so far), but they were all excellent on the college level. Then compare that to the years following. The position became the weakness of the conference and multiple team’s play suffered as a result.

Whether due to not recruiting the right guys (the SEC usually gets the creme of the crop) or developing them, quarterback play has gone downhill. Even the casual fan would have to be blind to not notice this alarming trend.

Despite all this, the conference still has some good signal-callers, and the quality is improving. Georgia will face some of the best in the league in 2016. Here are the top five quarterbacks UGA will face this fall.
