Why the SEC's Lack of Star QBs Doesn't Even Matter

HOOVER, Ala. — If you're looking for quarterback star power at SEC media days, you'll probably be wandering around the Hyatt Regency Wynfrey Hotel for a while.

There's not much of it.

Tennessee's Joshua Dobbs and Texas A&M's Trevor Knight made the rounds on Tuesday, and Ole Miss' Chad Kelly will on Thursday.

Other than them...crickets. Now compare that to Big 12 media days, where eight of the 10 teams will bring quarterbacks.

The SEC quarterback "crisis" (and we use that word loosely) began after the 2013 season when stars like Johnny Manziel, Zach Mettenberger, AJ McCarron and Aaron Murray left and has left a hole in the college football universe that seems to be getting bigger, not smaller.
