And the NFL doesn't want to invest in a minor league even though most college programs are running spread offenses now.
Invest? the NFL? lol.
Seriously, I look at Carson Palmer ads a QB who's had ups and downs and injuries. He had a learning year under Kitna and he's a top QB again. People agonized about Rodgers spending three years as a backup and were probably right, but who cares now? Brady impressed the coach enough in his learning year that he got unexpectedly tapped for the top job.
Peyton was an outlier, but he's the son of a pro.
Seems so obvious to me. Why would you take a chance on wrecking your greatest asset? Why not have the patience, and the balls, to tell your hotshot he needs to learn behind some jag veteran for a year? If you got the pick your team obviously has more holes than QB.
It's amazing the difference between quarterbacks who are ready and those who aren't.
