The 5 star pro style QBs often struggle in college because they are asked to run a more spread and mobile style of offense than they would be asked to run in the NFL. They washout in college as a result.

Oddly, some of the lower ranked pro style QBs end up making it better in college because they play at lower tier schools and end up being a big fish in a small pond and get noticed.

It is just a theory of mine. I could be full of shit -- like I am on most other things.

Another theory is a lot of the highest ranked QBs get stacked up at the same colleges, so only a fraction of them start and others have to transfer and that often blows up the flow of their college carrer.
