Drew Allar has been on every top 10 quarterbacks list I’ve seen for this season. He was considered a potential 1st round pick had he declared. Hell, the college football video game has him as the third highest rated QB.
But Mizzou has his former back up so now suddenly the guy is a phony.
Good stuff as always forum brains.
Pribula might suck, he might be awesome. Drew Allar will have nothing to do with it either way.
How do you say you seldom watched him play against most of the tougher competition last year without saying it? Here are his glorious stats from the CFP last year:
How do these stats reflect a top tier QB? In these 6 games against tougher opponents, overall poor completion % and YPA, and 0 TD passes and 2 INTs in 4 of those games. With those numbers, he has not even been a great game manager. And he has been very dependent on a good run game and a superior TE.
Plus he's not that much of a dual threat, carrying 96 times for 302 yards, or 3.1 YPC.
You might want to check your own brain and do some homework before casting aspersions.
Some NFL team is going to be very disappointed in Allar if they use a 1st round pick on him if he performs at these levels. He has a lot to prove this year.
Yes, no good QB has ever had underwhelming games. Penn St. under James Franklin is also well known for chucking it all over the field….
I’m sorry the industry consensus bothers you but I’ll take their word for it over the Penn St forum posters that seem to be driving your opinion.
But here is the real point, what Allar is has nothing to do with Mizzou. The only reason you and others here bring him up is to express concern about Pribula and how he couldn’t beat him out. Which is pointless nonsense.
You and the "industry" must be going by measurables because Allar's performance is measurably lacking against better competition. When the going gets tough, he tends to vanish. But carry on with your naive acceptance that he's some kind of top tier QB. I think there's a good reason he decided to return to school. Maybe he realizes he needs to up his game because as of now, he's not top tier as measured by performance.
And you're wrong about this being about Pribula with me. It's not. My first post on this thread did not even mention him. This is a thread about the Top 25, not Mizzou. So the Pribula thing is just an assumption on your part. I have no idea how good or bad Pribula will be.
We shall see whether Allar can step it up measured by performance, not some "industry" take probably based on his measurables. The NFL has been known to salivate over such physical measurables. Tom Brady and Kurt Warner, among many others, want a word.
And I won't argue this point further. We disagree.

Oh I agree you didn’t bring up Pribula here. But we had this same exchange, right down to the classic “tell me without telling me” zinger when Pribula committed. I assume you didn’t bring Allar up then because of these preseason polls.
It’s also why I was careful to type out “you and others” in my previous post. It took all of what two posts after you mentioned Allar for Pribula to come up? Surely it’s not a surprise those two are connected in people’s minds.

About Pribula, a lot of hype. Maybe he will shine. When he did play, he mostly ran. Right? If Horn gets his act together, he will start. He has a big arm. His issue was that he was mistake prone according to Drink. Zollers may surprise. Drink likes QB to be a leader on the field. That is why Cook was the starter. He was the leader not necessarily a great QB.
The decision needs to be made on the QB by game two. Against KU. That will not be a game to be screwing around trying to decide who the starting QB should be
Who cares if Mizzou isn't in the top 25 in Preseason.
If Mizzou starts off 5 - 0, they will easily break into the Top 25.
It is a long season and anything can happen,
If Pribula pans out, the Tigers will be fine.
I know that defense will show up.
