Are you saying that a full YEAR sitting behind someone else and learning would not be incredibly beneficial?


Of course a year sitting learning can be helpful.

But my overall point is that it's NOT A REQUIREMENT that QBs have actual prior playing experience to be incredibly productive. Freshman, redshirt freshman, even older guys who've never taken significant snaps at QB (ex: Blake Sims, Cardale Jones) can be incredibly productive, given the right mix of talent and (gasp) coaching and scheme.

Not one person has argued against this. Can Newton was extremely productive. But when you attempt to apply this argument to Brandon Harris, or any TRUE freshman, you fall short.

Talent and Coaching are inversely proportional. The more you have of one, the less you need of the other. This is why extremely talented players like Manziel and Winston can win a Heisman as redshirt freshmen, and extremely limited QBs like Jarrett Lee and Blake Sims can win the SEC as redshirt seniors.
