MJS Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 1 hour ago, No Place To Hyde said: Is it ridiculous though? Time after time highly touted QBs from USC come out and people say the same thing you just did. And time after time USC QBs flop. Now I fully understand that Sam Darnold is a different player and person than the guys that came before him and I will concede that I think he could be an excellent player in the NFL. But it does at least warrent a "buyer beware" tag. MOST guys fail in the NFL. Their school has nothing to do with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The real question is....what is our track record with University of Wyoming QBs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, OP, without looking it up can you name single University with more than 1 hall of fame QB who went there or more than 1 considered a franchise QB currently? Didn't think so. Alabama had Joe Namath and Ken Stabler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing we have AJ McCarron now since Alabama seems to be churning out Hall of Fame QBs left and right, huh? And future success of a QB is linked to past success of other QBs that have gone to that same school and all.

I saw your question about which college produced 2 HoF QBs and answered it i dont believe for 1 second Mccarron is on Namaths level lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I know thats correct I still can't help but be a tad leery about QBs that come from there. Its like if you buy a car. And it breaks. Then you buy another of the same manufacturer. And it breaks. You likely would think twice about purchasing a third from that company even though they were different makes and models. Someday a QB from USC will shatter the myth. And if Darnold can correct the turnover issues he's had he may be the one. But same was said for Lienart, Barkely, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is simply ridiculous! It's not unfair to question if a college system makes a QB light it up in the NCAA but won't translate into the NFL. Granted you have to take a look at this in a short span of time, who cares if a QB from X college was a bust in the 80's when the NFL and college games were rapidly different. What type of system the college runs and what type of talent the college puts around a QB are factors too consider. It is one of many factors that I think scouts and organizations should consider. There is a reason why certain colleges produce certain types of position players more so than other ones (Coaches, systems, competition levels, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
