This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

My theory is mobility matters far more in college than NFL by btd
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.
