So how much stock do people put in all the reports that side by side, Franks was the better QB at LSU's camp? I would love to get both, but Franks apparently is no slouch himself. I feel like some are over playing the huge need to get Shea just because Franks is committed and Shea is still out there. It's all about what you don't have. I would love to have both, but if we get either we'll be ok. The only reason i would worry about losing Shea, assuming Franks gets to LSU, is the possibility other top LA players follow him.

I can't speak for anyone else, but the film does it for me. The way Shea moves in the pocket, with no wasted motion, is something you hope to see seniors in college doing. I hate comparisons, but his body control and footwork are very similar to JFF's. He shows touch when he needs to, but can burn it too. If this kid was 6'3" he would be a unanimous #1 overall.

Well, at the Rivals Camp in FL, Patterson walked away with the QB Award, while Franks finished 9th or something. Not trying to disparage Franks, just pointing out that they could compete 10 times with each out doing the other 5 times.
What I see and like about Shea is his savvy and leadership is outstanding. It jumps out at you either on film or in person. Of course I've seen a whole lot more of Shea than Franks, so, who knows?
