Both Case Keenum and Timmy Chang were very small QB's who came from the pass happy "Air Raid" offense at Houston and the "Run & Shoot" at Hawaii. They had ridiculously inflated pass stats due to the system they were in. Virtually any QB could succeed in those schemes. It's not fair at all to compare the production of DT's to QB's. There are a ton of factors in evaluations of a QB that don't have anything to do with the DT position.

You can do this with every position. Production in college while nice,  doesn't mean production in the NFL and vise versa.

Neither does traits, athletic ability or potential. Sometimes you can have a very athletic player with all the potential in the world, who just doesn't have the drive, intelligence, instincts or whatever to be the player you need them to be. It happens all the time. All systems of evaluating players are just "crap shoots." Different people just evaluate on whatever system they believe works best.
