Re: Should we draft Johnny Football ...

What works in college doesn't necessarily work in the Bigs. Ask Tim Tebow...or that guy, White I think was his last name...QB from Oklahoma that won the Heisman but didn't sniff the NFL.

Even if he does succeed for a while by scrambling and standing on his tip-toes to see downfield like Drew...like everybody else said...he won't last for long. He will go get in line at the Dr.'s office with Vick and RGIII, etc.

Speaking of Tebow, though...and I don't intend to hi-jack...just reminded me of something I was thinking about the other day...

Why does everybody say, "You can't change your offense to suit one guy", when referring to Tebow, but nobody has peeped about the pro version of Southern Cal with their triple option over there in D.C...

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!

Sam Bradford is still playing in the NFL and is leading the rams to a possible .500 season or one that will match his rookie season. If thats the Oklahoma qb you are talking about. So far, all of the heisman winners still are starting or have a chance to start. Ingram is the latest bust. Tebow isnt a bust, but he's not the elite type qb but he doesnt have to be when he has that jets defense. Seeing how he was able to rack up wins last year I think he can be a qb that wins games. The jets need him to start right now but Rex Ryan has high expectations that passed after two years almost reaching the sb. Cam is still playing and has had a up and down season. Luck will be even better in years to come. Pat White didnt win a heisman and played for West Virginia.

I have heard that high schools and colleges are perfecting the NFL pass offense today. Idk how long this has been going on but it makes sense with how these rookie qbs are impacting their teams right away. I think the SEC imo if there's a passing qb in that conference that wins game then he's gonna be good in the pros. Matt Stafford is one of them. Any qb that throws for 5,000 yards in a season has to be on the right path. He didnt do well right away he learned the old fashioned way where he had gotten hurt and sat on the bench and watched the plays on the sideline. He is better than Matt Ryan lets just say that. His UGA replacement, Aaron Murray is someone to watch out for. Out of this years's upcoming qb class to me is the best of them.
