Who is the best qb in the SEC? I think it is Tyler Wilson!!! Below are what some others think.

It was a promising sophomore season for Franklin, who added 981 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground to his considerable passing stats. What a dual threat he will be under center for Missouri, which will have to face off against SEC defenses for the first time in 2012.
Franklin appears ready for the challenge. It doesn’t hurt that the junior quarterback will have top overall recruit WR Dorial Green-Beckham as a top target. The Tigers’ offense certainly will have some playmakers.

We’re looking for big things out of Bray this fall. The 6-foot-6 QB showed flashes of brilliance in 2011, collecting 14 TDs and just 2 INTs in the first five games of the season before going down with a thumb injury.
He returned with tepid results in the season’s final two games, perhaps rusty from the layoff and not completely healed. Bray should be primed for 2012 with WRs Justin Hunter and Da’Rick Rogers, when the furthering of his skill could result in a high selection in 2013 NFL draft. Derek Dooley wouldn’t mind the help, either.

One could argue that Murray was the best quarterback in the SEC last year, when he helped save coach Mark Richt’s job as the Bulldogs reeled off 10 straight wins after an 0-2 start. He put up some eye-popping numbers through most of the season as the offense ran through him.
However, it’s clear that Murray – known for his light-hearted antics off the field – needs to get serious in big games. The QB hit on just 16-of-40 passes in the SEC title game against LSU, then threw two picks in a three-overtime loss to Michigan State in the Outback Bowl. Something tells us that Murray will take the leap in 2012.

Wilson made Arkansas fans forget about Ryan Mallett in a hurry by leading the Hogs to an 11-2 season and putting up performances like a 510-yard, three-touchdown outing vs. Texas A&M that has Wilson as a frontrunner for the 2012 Heisman and 2013 NFL Draft’s No. 1 overall pick.
There are obstacles, though. Gone is offensive guru Bobby Petrino as the team’s head coach, offensive coordinator Garrick McGee to head UAB and Wilson’s talented receiver trio of Joe Adams, Greg Childs and Jarius Wright. Wilson has all the tools to be a franchise NFL quarterback and don’t expect a step back even with the challenges Wilson will face this fall.
