For the season, Tanner McKee has a QBR of 89.3.  That ranks #1 in college football.

The stats table must have been updated since you posted that. McKee has an adjusted QBR of 88.3, which ranks him third in the country.

A week ago he was #1 (which I had posted), perhaps with that 89.3 rating.
#1 is the quarterback from Liberty, which doesn't concern me much.
#2 is the sophomore QB for Oregon State (Nolan) who has won the job from the senior (Noyer) in a manner not unlike what we have seen.

I am somewhat in the camp that says Shaw should have been able to tell by the time of the KSU game that McKee was the better QB. In any one case, without inside the program knowledge, it's very hard to know how difficult the call really was. In this case, it didn't take long to rectify and doesn't seem egregious. However, Shaw has now a rather consistent history of choosing the wrong QB to start the season, or at least finding a better QB after the season begins. It's really become a trend.

Shaw has demonstrated time and time again that seniority at QB is a big deal starting the season. And it probably is, as long as we have the 30000-page playbook.  Having said that, the playbook seems much smaller under McKee.  Now if they could only deep-six the Wildcat package and the handoff to the TE we armchair QBs will be so happy….
