Mike Farrell has Maye as his top QB. You can't argue with his reasoning. He has Nix 3rd and Penix 4th (I told you guys Penix was the real deal.)
Farrell: I’d take Maye over Williams because he’s bigger, can move just as well, and has a better mental makeup. Williams is an exceptional talent, but he can be a bit of a diva and has some on and off-field eccentricity that would make me pause when taking him as a No. 1 overall. Penix Jr. has the bigger arm, but I’m not a fan of drafting lefty QBs for many reasons so I have Nix slightly ahead, and Pratt is a solid round two option.
Nix> Penix. I like this article
and the acronym continues to grow.

USC will always put you to shame. Demonstrate your disdain by staying in the Pac. Of course, you still wouldn't get to a rose bowl (you wouldn't want to meet USC there anyway), but at least you would earn my respect by standing on your own two feet for once.
At least you have a similar shade of blue (balls) this time.
Mike Farrell is a joke ...he needs to stick on grading High School kids which he has more misses on than hits...at least come up with an NFL Scout to do this kind of stuff if you are going to evaluate College QB's...
Maye is going to be an NFL starter. But no, he doesn't move as well as Williams. sc
Not sure if any here caught it but the Holiday Bowl last season was epic: Maye vs Nix.
Last minute TD by a still-hobbled Nix to Chase Cota with 19 seconds left gave Oregon the 1 point win.
Fairly even stats, but probably give the nod to Nix in this one based on completion % and that he was still basically working with one leg only:
NIX: 23-30, 205 yards 2 TDs, 1 INT
MAYE: 18-35, 206 yards 3 TDs
Hoping not to face Maye in the post season this year!! He's only gonna get better.
