There is not a better QB in the SBC
Than Zac Thomas.
After out playing Heisman contender Trace McSorley in App's near upset of top 10 Penn State for his college debut as the starting QB, Thomas followed up his performance with 14 of 14 passing for 295 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He also added 29 yards rushing and another touchdown. This was mostly done in three quarters against Charlotte.

RE: There is not a better QB in the SBC
Justice Hansen will play in the NFL...Thomas, probably not.
I will say, though, that Scott Satterfield might just be making the case for being one of the elite QB coaches in the country.
Here's who he has coached so far:
1. Richie Williams (won a national championship, holds a record for something nuts like 40 completions in a row, won plenty of accolades in FCS).
2. Armanti Edwards (Won 2 national championships, beat Michigan, one of the best players in the FCS ever)
3. Ty Hilton (Might be the best Sun Belt QBs ever)
4. Taylor Lamb and Zac Thomas (who we're all familiar with).
BTW, Shai Werts has the highest passer rating among all the starting QBs and leads the Sun Belt in rushing yards...keep an eye out for him.

Here's hoping App sets another conference record for consecutive completions in a single game the game before they come to Paulson again.

RE: There is not a better QB in the SBC
Zac has had 2 amazing games, great stats and appears to look the part. However, lets not forget that one of those games was against one of the worst teams in the history of football. I'd like to see a full season of greatness before crowning him the best in the SunBelt.

You definitely won’t have any argument from us about our QB coach being better.
TY Hilton? The WR/Returner from FIU. Yes, he is the greatest returner/WR the SunBelt has probably ever seen, but QB? I think he threw a TD against us one time in a truck play.

My bad. Don't know why I think he was the QB that year, but Satterfield was coaching the QB on probably FIU's best season ever.

So far so good - he was making throws you don't normally see from APP against Penn St. Seems to have more/better targets too.

It was a dump truck. FIU dumped a big one on us that game. You don't remember?

One overlooked part of App thus far has been the receivers; this is likely the best receiving corp App has ever fielded. I know some will argue some FCS groups were good (Tony Washington and Andrew Peacock come to mind) but Sutton, Hennigan, Heath, and Williams will all likely end up, at the very least, in the NFL on a try out basis.

If they override my blind anger toward Brian Quick and CoCo Hillary it'll be impressive.

Pretty sure one of the FIU poster across the street used the "Hilton Heave" as his signature GIF. I cringe every time I see it.

You have my vote. In addition to his physical skills and talent which is very good, I like his mental toughness and the fire he provides to the team. Something State's too cool QB can't do. See where some is saying Hansen will be in the NFL. I would love to see our second QB start this Saturday.

Thank you! He's played two games. So far, he has been near perfect. But, you shouldn't make a statement like that with such a small sample size. No reason to get ahead of ourselves.
That said, I think all App fans are more than pleased with how he has performed to date and are hoping these are the kind of performances he will provide on a consistent basis. He is just a sophomore and he will likely have some games where he struggles.

Brian Quick was fun to watch but I think Sutton is better at this point in his career. That should be expected however because Quick played one year of high school football. Sutton catches the ball effortlessly and is much faster than you would expect from a 6'3 220 lb receiver in a G5 conference. Good thing he had roots at App or he may never have transferred here.
I'm not sure if there are any specific highlights of his play thus far but Thomas had dropped about three passed right in the bucket and Sutton has nabbed them all; one I believe was one handed.

Arkansas State fans won't give you the time of day. There aren't as many as there were three years ago and there are several new App posters here since the Penn State game.

Hansen will be in the NFL if for no other reason than he began his career at Oklahoma. He will probably be practice squad fodder if he shows some potential, otherwise he will be a 4th QB for preseason games.
Thomas likely won't get a shot in the NFL because he is slight of frame and doesn't have a big time arm. He's precise in his throws and decisive when he sees an opening but at this point there isn't anything I've seen that has shown he could be a successful NFL QB. App fans probably won't like me saying this considering he's only played two games, but the truth hurts some times.
