Xavier Lee was awesome, until he had to play.
Was he the other guy?

Except Lectro..hence my reputation in these parts.
..good to be seen
I'll give you Ponder and Manuel not being complete bums, but look at the QB's in those drafts and I think we know why they went so high.
2013 EJ Manuel:
The fact that the Bills drafted him does not help your "NFL Front Office Proffesionals deemed him worthy of a multi-million dollar investment" argument because it's the Bills front office and they've probably wasted more money on shit draft picks than every team other than the Browns (maybe even more than them).
11 QB's drafted and only 3 QB's taken in the first three rounds (one in each round)
Second Round- Geno Smith: I don't really need to say anything here
Third Round- Mike Glennon: see above
The rest-
Matt Barkley
Ryan Nassib
Tyler Wilson
Landry Jones
Brad Sorensen
Zach Dysert
B.J. Daniels
Sean Renfree
Not really saying much to be the top of that class...
2011 Christian Ponder:
Didn't go to a trainwreck organization but the Vikings definitely were not great at this time.
4th QB taken in the first 12 picks so he was probably drafted because QB's were trendy this year. Too bad most of the decent ones were drafted well after him.
Cam Newton (1st) Jake Locker (8th) and Blaine Gabbert (10th)
Locker and Gabbert both had as rough of a time in the NFL as Ponder.
Then we get to the QB's taken after him that performed far better:
-Andy Dalton (2nd round)
-Colin Kaepernick (2nd round)
-Tyrod Taylor (6th round)
even those guys are mediocre.
Not trying to be argumentative or shitstigating but a players draft position has been proven time and time again to be a crappy measure of success. Ask Aaron Curry.
Why are you evaluating college QBs with how good they are in the NFL? Plenty of dudes are great college QBs but aren’t any good any the pros. Completely different game. Are Tanner Price and Skinner bums because they couldn’t cut it in the NFL?
He’s saying they’re bums even though they got drafted. Take your Glennon and soon to be Finley butthurt elsewhere.
Glennon, Finley, and a shit ton of the other guys he mentioned aren’t/weren’t bums in college though. Who cares what they do in the NFL if they were really good in college?
That’s the point. Ponder and Manuel weren’t “really good” in college.
I guess I’m missing the argument. Manual was prettt darn good as a senior but whatever
BC has a good passing game. What do Deacs think they can do to shut it down?
That’s the point. Ponder and Manuel weren’t “really good” in college.
Stupid conversation. College starting qbs have done something right thru the 1st 20 years of their lives.
To turn this into a race discussion, only 2 super bowl winning qbs thru the first 25 super bowls did not have blue eyes
Who were they?
