Turf Show Times
When it comes to the fall season in upstate New York, it’s hard not to take advantage of the good weather when it comes because before you know it, the temperature will be cold and there will be snow on the ground. This past weekend was one of the final nice days of the year and instead of watching the Week 6 college football slate, I took my dogs to the Adirondacks and made it a full day trip.
While I made it back for Florida State vs. Miami and Texas Tech vs. Houston, I missed the entirety of the afternoon games, including Ty Simpson lighting it up against Vanderbilt for Alabama. Carson Beck continues to impress every time that I’ve seen him this year. There is a good chance that he has that Miami team in contention for a national title. He may not have the highest ceiling, but he looks poised and confident this season.
With all of that said, that’s going to make this week’s college football review slightly different. Instead of going through the week’s performances, I opted to take a different approach. The Rams have been reported to be in attendance for a few games this season. Les Snead was at South Carolina’s opener to presumably watch LaNorris Sellers. The Rams have also had a presence at Oklahoma vs. Michigan, Clemson vs. Georgia Tech, and were at a Houston practice this past week.
Instead of the usual format, I watched the All-22 of those games and will rank each quarterback’s performances from when the Rams were in attendance.
Back in Week 1 of the college football season, Rams general manager Les Snead was in attendance for South Carolina vs. Virginia Tech. That’s extremely notable considering that the Rams may be in the market for a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft and Sellers is one of the top-rated quarterbacks.
Sellers hasn’t had the best season, but it’s important to remember that these players are not finished products, and that’s especially the case for a player like Sellers. Sellers has some very raw moments, but he’s also capable of making plays only few on the planet are capable of making.
That last part is why Sellers is worth betting on. He has the arm talent in combination with the athletic ability to be a high-end starting quarterback. He may get some comparisons to Anthony Richardson. However, Richardson had 393 career pass attempts at the college level. Sellers is at 390 with half a season to go. He’s much more experienced and will have two seasons of being a starting quarterback under his belt.
This isn’t to say that Sellers is still raw and has a lot to work on. That was evident in the game that Snead was in attendance for back in Week 1. It makes sense for Sellers to want to rely on his athleticism, but that’s not going to always win in the NFL. He needs...
