Quote:This isn't necessarily breaking news. Someone else reported the same thing a week or two ago, citing a scout from our very own AFC South (if I recall correctly.)

 

Really... just look at the child and imagine him as a top QB in the NFL. I personally just don't see it.

 

Taking a look at the school and the system he comes from, you certainly aren't talking about an NFL QB factory by any means. Yes, there are many questions behind the stats that to me look like a lot of smoke and mirrors.

 

The article I posted did not say which division the AFC scout works in.

 

The college a player goes to is irrelevant when teams determine what they can and can't do, how good they are, etc. Ben Roethlisberger went to a school that rarely has future NFL stars. So did Chad Pennington, Jay Cutler, and David Garrard. If I decide Blake Bortles would not be a good pick for the Jaguars, none of the reasons for that will be the school he attends.

 

Of course, statistics are not the way scouts evaluate players because they mean nothing to people who never watched the games. That is true for all quarterbacks.
