My top rated QB is Avery Johnson. Right now he is not officially in the portal. So if you are going to go off two of the best quarterbacks in the portal Salter (Liberty) and Mensah (Tulane) are two of the very best.



Clip .31 seconds -This is a play FSU can run. They are going to have Landen Thomas starting at TE. Salters has to hold the mesh long enough with the RB but he understands if the tight end crosses the defender and gets inside release its an easy TD. Watch the play develop. TD. He sees the defender covering the TE is in trouble and there is no help from the backer inside.

One thing you see Salters constantly do - Keep his head up and eyes down the field. This is something Luke can learn from this kid.

You watch the play .42 seconds, Salters has his head straight ahead. Just by watching where each defender is positioned he knows if the receiver outside gets the block the back has a TD.

Salters pre-read understands where the weakness is in the defense and how to exploit it.

Play at 49 seconds. Not going to lie, I love the way Chadwell designs his plays. Both receivers are pushing down the field. I like when coaches run the back out and the receiver over the top of the route. It causes defenses to cover the entire field.


Strengths: He anticipates well. I think this is one of the most important traits of a QB. It is way more important than arm strength. I also like that he is mobile. He forces a defense to respect his ability to pass and run. He is accurate throwing the ball. Salters puts the ball where his receiver can catch it.

Weakness - He has a good arm. I would not call his arm elite. He can push the ball down the field but he is better off on the intermediate and shorter routes which to me is more important. The longer routes will be there. Can he transition from playing G5 defenses to P4. He is not the biggest kid can he hold up in Gus offense which ask the QB's to do a lot of work.

Final Thoughts: I really like Salters. His ability to run is going to make it much easier for FSU to run the football. You can't just key on one player. Liberty runs a ton of plays designed for him.
