Popular college football analyst for CBS Sports Josh Pate released his top 10 quarterbacks of the Big Ten, and a former Spartans signal caller had an issue with the list.
Pate’s top 10 quarterbacks list for the upcoming season left off Michigan State’s Aidan Chiles — which initially grabbed my attention as surprising to see. It also was alarming to former Michigan State starting quarterback Brian Lewerke — who took to social media platform X to call out Pate.
Lewerke called out Pate’s list as “not very good” and noted that his feedback wasn’t just because of Chiles being snubbed. You can see Lewerke’s response and Pate’s top 10 list in the post below:
As I said above, I also was not a fan of this rankings from Pate. In my opinion, Chiles ranks as at top 10 quarterback in the league, with the potential to be a top five quarterback should he approach his ceiling. Last year, Chiles showed inconsistency but as a first year starter that was expected from him. Ironically, Nebraska’s Dylan Raiola had comparable numbers to Chiles and he was ranked as the No. 6 quarterback in Pate’s list while Chiles was left off.
These type of lists are not ultimately a big deal and just used for fun offseason discussion. But I enjoyed seeing a former Spartans quarterback looking out for the current guy wearing green-and-white under center.
