Flacco was at Pitt, got beat out by Tyler Panko. Warner got valuable experience in NFL Europe, without it, he would still be bagging groceries. Still there is no way you can say that judging by what any player did, as a QB, in the Ohio Valley Conference, you can project his success in the NFL. Did anyone here honestly not think that Andrew Luck (Pro style offense in college, played in a major conference, against big time talent, father was a QB, etc.) wasn't going to be a good if not great NFL QB? Check out Brady's college days, all he did was lead comebacks, because they were starting the wrong guy! I remember predicting (along with half of the draft board) how bad Jemarcus Russell was going to be. It's not rocket science, most of the good to great NFL QBs come from either the SEC or the Pac-12. The two best conferences. Sure every once in 50 years, you'll get a Kurt Warner, I don't think anyone is putting Fresno St's Trent Dilfer on the good to great list are they? Steve McNair was a great QB out of Alcorn St.
I'm not saying, he will never be a good NFL QB, BUT I highly doubt it. From what I've read the best thing he has is a quick release, but his arm angle is terrible, he is not tall enough and he is completely unproven against anything he will see in the NFL. None of that says #62 pick in the draft! For God's sake get Brady a big WR for the outside, another pass rusher, or God forbid, anyone who can actually play safety!! It's a horrible pick, for the Patriots in 2014 at #62. As my Cousin Vinnie once said, "it's OK, everybody knows, you can say it..."
