Everyone drafted has some level of potential, that's why they get drafted in the first place. But talent evaluators sometimes get lost in the measureables and forget the actual results of what a player did in college or downplay the results because of the conference a guy plays in. Anyway, I'm glad we've got two pretty good QBs on the roster.

I honestly think there has been a huge bias against certain systems in college football such as the run and shoot, air raid and the spread. For years, QB's in these systems were overlooked, because, they were too foreign to the NFL and it was believed that QB's in these systems could not function outside of the scheme that they had played in. Nowadays, teams are starting to realize that college QB's can learn other schemes and in some cases NFL teams are even adapting their own offenses to adjust to their rookie QB's skill set. We are seeing players like Pat Mahomes, Jared Goff, Gardner Minshew and Mason Rudolph find success in the NFL despite their "gimmicky" offensive backgrounds. Ultimately as pro style college systems are disappearing, the NFL has been forced to look into different offensive systems to find their franchise QB's. It is through this research, that the NFL has discovered, alas, there are some really good QB prospects out there who might have not been give a fair chance 10 years ago, because of scheme biases by NFL front offices.
