Opinion: Finding the best QB in the AAC is harder than you think

At the conclusion of last season, I told myself that I’d try and figure out who the best quarterback in the American Conference is.

For most, if not all of last season, that question wasn’t too difficult. A lot of people, including myself, agreed that Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder was the “best” quarterback in the conference and he certainly staked his claim with a strong 2021 season, which of course included a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Ridder, of course, is no longer a Bearcat. He’s off to the NFL and could even hear his name called inside the first two days of the NFL Draft in April.
