Quote:52 starts in college has nothing to do with what they are going to do in the pros.  Andrew Luck had 38 starts in college, does that mean if he would have stayed for his senior year and had 50 starts - 52 starts he wouldn't be as good as a pro?

 

Come on now...  Can someone please explain to me how starting more college games can hamper you in the pros?  Is this some made up stat by Kyjaggy? I know no one takes him seriously, but geez, can he really be this much of a joke?

 

Russell Wilson--- 50 starts?  Let me guess?  Outlier???? 

 

Kyjaggy is a huge fan of Derek Carr, am I right?  44 career starts.  Is there that much of a difference?

 

Teddy Bridgewater?  39 starts?

 

But yet, doesn't like Manziel and he has 26 starts?  Does anyone see the missing link here?

 

Let me guess...

I am completely floored at how dense people here are. I already said career starts means very little as to whether they will be a good pro QB. The only point is that it is an indicator that there isn't as much room for growth as inexperienced or raw QBs. It's not the only one, but it is one...and a pretty good one at that. I really don't get what is so hard to understand. It wasn't supposed to be some huge deal that you all turned it in to, just get the friggin point and move on because there is a lot of truth behind it. 

 

And no, I have already said I wouldn't call Teddy a developmental QB, and no Russell Wilson wasn't a developmental QB. Derek Carr has developmental QB aspects because he is raw when it comes to pro offense/under center experience (2011 notwithstanding), so there is reasonable hope that with more experience and with his physical tools he could become significantly more than what he is. I would also call Manziel developmental because the offense he ran was so vanilla. He has a lot of room to grow when it comes to reading defenses, understanding audible and protection calls, recognizing coverages, etc.

 

Now please get it through your alls heads cause I really don't want to have to explain something so exceedingly simple again.
