    And for the record, there are a number of College NC QB's on NFL rosters and those that made NFL rosters. Just going back 10 years, I think every single NC QB got drafted. SO yea or will be.

    Be fucking real.


    Mental capacity once in the NFL is another story.

    No we do not agree. Don't try to put words in my mouth.

    I answered you and you simply refuse to listen. What a shock.

    Then we agree, a 4-4 or 5-3 SEC record next year is not acceptable.

    If you are ok with 4-4 or 5-3 in the SEC you are entitled to your opinion. Some of us just expect better.

    Dude, quarterbacks are drafted all the damn time. Akili Smith was drafted for Christ's sake. Do you have to have a future NFL stud at qb to win in college. No you don't and history proves that.

    Isn't the point championships? Can you read or even deduce what the fuck Twisted and I were discussing?

    Ok I'll prove you wrong. Again, you don't have to have a future NFL starter to win a championship.

    NFC South
    Newton (the anomaly, won a national championship)
    Drew Brees - never competed for one.
    Matt Ryan - never competed for one
    Mccown - never competed for one

    NFC West
    Russell Wilson - never competed for one
    Arizona - insert quarterback here, but Carson Palmer won one however is a middle of the road to lower level starter in the league.
    Kaepernick - never competed for one, middle of the road to lower level starter in the league.
    Sam Bradford - played for a championship, lower level starter.

    NFC North
    Aaron Rodgers - never sniffed one
    Stafford - never sniffed one
    Cutler - never sniffed one
    Bridgewater - never sniffed one

    NFC East
    Foles/Sanchez - never sniffed one
    Romo - never sniffed one
    The Turd and Cousins - never sniffed one
    Eli - never sniffed one

    AFC South
    Mettenberger/Locker/Whitehurst
    Never sniffed one except when Mettenberger was a 3rd string qb.
    Mallet/The Houston Cougar dude/Fitzpatrick - never sniffed one
    Andrew Luck never sniffed one
    Bortles never sniffed one

    AFC West
    Kansas City - Alex Smith and Chase Daniel were close to a national championship but neither would be considered a good NFL qb, both are serviceable.
    Manning never won a national championship
    David Carr or Derek whichever Carr never sniffed one neither did Schaub
    Rivers never sniffed one

    AFC North
    Big Ben never sniffed one
    Flacco maybe he won a division 2 championship hell I don't know
    Dalton nope
    Manziel/Hoyer nope

    AFC East
    Brady - was a backup to a championship qb Brian Grease how was his pro career?
    Manual - nope
    Tannehill - nope
    Smith - nope

    LSU won 2 championships with guys who may have gotten drafted, Mauck didn't last and Flynn is a career backup.

    McCarron will be a career backup
    Newton is a serviceable NFL qb, again he is an anomaly.
    Jameis he won't last
    Tebow- how'd that work out?
    Vince Young how'd that work out
    Matt Leinart how'd that work out
    Tee Martin - how'd that work out?
    Chris Weinke - how'd that work out
    Craig Krenzel how'd that work out
    Ken Dorsey how'd that work out

    Want me to keep going?

    Doesn't matter how it works out because that isn't the point.

    JR had god given talent but was lazy. He could have worked out like many on the list.

    Getting drafted is a measure of talent.


    As you know, being successful in the NFL is more than talent.



    Yes, you want NFL talent at the QB position. Among other things.

    I'd settle for some QB development, who's serviceable enough to just move the chains and manage the clock.

    I am not sure what you think history has to do with anything. To say you dont want NFL talent at QB is just stupid.


    Regardless, we aint winning a NC anytime soon so not sure why any of this is a discussion.
