Idk about saying Romo. Maybe he just bloomed late (while in college), cause he was good in college. So he just ended up playing FCS.

Maybe a guy like Banchero? At duke you could roll more bodies to him and more teams could focus there. Seems he does well in isolation stuff in the pro game

I actually thought the Vikings were dumb to draft him so high because his production was inflated due to having Joe Burrow as a QB and Jamar Chase playing opposite him taking the defenses best players and schemes away from him.


I feel better knowing I'm not the only one.

SEC POY. Sure


Exactly. He was also first team all Big12 at Oklahoma.

He was clearly a pretty damn good CFB player

He’s made some of it back but brick and Chavis cost this guy so much in draft money

LSU fans act like he wasn’t good here when he actually was, he just did what the scheme asked him to do


I don’t disagree, but IIRC, the knock on Hunter was that he hadn’t played a lot of football (only like one or two years in HS). LSU schemed him in a simple way but I feel like any other school would have done the same.

Once he got to the league his learning accelerated and he turned into a top notch pass rusher.

The obvious example here is Tom Brady. Obviously he improved in the NFL everyone does, but it also just seems like his game fits professional football better than college football.


Brady was actually good in college. The problem was Lloyd Carr was afraid Drew Hendon would transfer if not given an opportunity, so he kept putting him in when Brady was clearly the better player

Hurts was the worst Bama QB in the last 12 years. Threw for barely 2000 yards and 17 TDs with a receiving corps of Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, and DeVonta Smith. One good year for OU in a powder puff defensive conference doesn't mean he was a great college QB. He certainly wasn't even close to being the player in college that he is now in the pros.



Maybe his skills were not utilized optimally at Bama.

this was a trend under brick and why I named him in my OP.
