Agree or disagree Grant Wells is among the top 8 QBs in ACC for 2023?

It's hard to tell. He had a few things that didn't help last year.
The OL wasn't picking up the system. The original offensive scheme changed during the season. New school. New coaches. Two new schemes. The WR room wasn't very good. Then again he has quite a few passes last year where I threw my hat. Over throws on wide open receivers & ill advised throws for interceptions. With this being his fourth year starting at QB & second at Tech I look for him to take a step forward. He looked calm & in control in the Spring game (FWIW) & made me feel encouraged about him going into the season. Then again they brought Drones in because of what he brought to the table as far as athletic ability & running. Maybe because they expect the OL to struggle? He doesn't have the potential to be a Top 8 QB for sure. But it's hard to tell until we see him play.

As of today, totally disagree. Wells was underwhelming to say the least
last season. Hopefully that was a fluke and he’ll post better numbers this year with a better supporting cast. But what he’s shown us so far has been pretty much a disaster if I’m being honest.

I hope I'm wrong but I strongly disagree.

I would have to wait and see how the season goes. Maybe he is top 4?

ACC has a ton of really good QBs this year....
UNC, NCSt., Duke, FSU, Clemson....Pitt, Syracuse.... Not sure Wells in that group ??

Armstrong at state looked awful at the hoos last year and clemson’s
Golden child per practice reports had not looked super yet. Don’t know anything about Pitt or cuse but none of the talking heads is bringing them up so doubt they are super

Armstrong will be throwing to tackles again under Anae
One of them is bound to work- he is a putz

Plummer should also do well under Brohm

As of 8/23/23……….you are correct, not in that group.
I’m not a fan as of now but hopefully like most of us - really want to be. If he does get into that group - we’ve had a pretty good year and likely headed to a bowl game of some sort. So, as of today “no”. Could be? Yes! MTH

Welll...He did look vastly improved at Spring Game
Much better accuracy, much quicker decisions. More confident. Footwork a lot better. Still cant throw a rollout pass for crap.

We shall see, he shows flashes but as we all know
We had personnel issues last year
