In my mind, the most important thing that does the best job predicting the success of a college QB (with all the physical measurables) at the NFL level is their win-loss record. Aaron Rodgers led Cal to a top 10 finish in his junior year. Drew Brees led Purdue to a Rose Bowl. Matt Ryan had B.C at #2 in the BCS rankings at one point in the 2007 season. Big Ben led Miami of Ohio to a top 10 finish in his final season. Eli Manning elevated Mississippi's program when he was there. RGIII helped turn Baylor into a competitive program. Andrew Luck won big at Stanford. All the great NFL QBs took their college football team to another level when they were there. I don't see that with any of these QBs. There's a good chance that Matt Barkley will have led USC to only one top 25 finish in his four seasons as a starter. Logan Thomas doesn't even has Virginia Tech bowl eligible in the ACC. Geno Smith has West Virginia at 5-5 in the Big 12. You could throw Tyler Bray in the mix as well. All of these QBs are a bunch of losers. It'll be foolish to waste a high draft pick on any of them.
