I am going to go out on a not very long limb and say that USC QBs have been basically a pile of mediocre much....other than Carson Palmer. And note...his career winning record is barely over .500.
Pat Haden actually had the best win pct....but he did not last all that long. Only really a 5 year career. Not sure is he had injuries that curtailed him. I know that he got replaced by Vince Ferragamo the year the LA Rams went to the Super Bowl. Not sure if that was injury or performance based.
Sanchez had two years of success....then utter failure. Rodney Peete had some decent years....but was never viewed as "franchise", I don't think.
Matt Cassell.....was really a career backup.
So...if the Browns take him....what will Darnold turn out to be? The best QB USC ever produced? Which is what he better be.....or will he fall into the mediocre drek that a lot of these guys are.
The only guys that he should really be compared to likely are Palmer, Sanchez., Leinert....and maybe Marinovich....since they were the First rounders. the rest were mostly mid to late round guys....so they should not be held to the same standard. Though....like I said, Haden...the one with the best win pct. was only 7th round.

Yes they recruit running quarterbacks that don't fumble and control the clock, west coast football it isn't.

People thought that Cardale could do some damage in the pros.. No sale.
In fact....where is Cardale? Is he still on the Bills...or with some other team?
Or, is he a candidate for the Alliance for American Football?

Good data, Gip. I struggle with the correlation, though, assuming someone thinks there is one. Maybe I’m wrong.

Yea, no real correlation. Just because a bunch of QBs...or any players from one particular school has been crappy in the past does not mean that future QBs from that school will be crappy in the future. And vice versa. Just because past QBs were good doesn't mean others will be good.
The only place it seems to apply really is Big 12 QBs. There has really been no real good one since that conference was formed in 1994. That is a period now of 24 years...and that his 10-12 schools. (unless you count Andy Dalton as a real franchise QB.)
I guess that has to change sometime. This year? With either Mayfield or Rudolph?
-
So what school is the best for QBs? Alabama? Miami? Notre Dame?
-
Will JT Barrett even be drafted?
I doubt it, maybe someone takes a late, late flyer on him.
For as successful as Pryor, Miller and Barrett has been, they have been absolutely dreadful passing the ball when they are in obvious passing situations. That doesn't translate to the NFL.
-
I think it's straight forward, by and large USC QB's suck in the NFL
That is my biggest fear, although mostly irrational, about drafting Darnold at 1.

Alabama is a good choice: l they currently have 3 HOF QBs: Starr, Namath, Stabler
Purdue is another: Dawson, Griese....and they will have Drew Brees when he is done (also had Jim Everett and a couple other decent ones)
UCLA has a couple: Waterfield, Aikman
Stanford has to be considered: Elway, Plunkett, Luck. All #1 overall.....along with Bobby Garrett who may actually be the biggest bust in the history of the draft: a #1 overall QB....who never played but a handful of games....and played -0- for the team that drafted him...i.e. The Cleveland Browns. They also had John Brodie come out of there.
Oregon has to be mentioned: HOFers Dan Fouts and Norm Van Brocklin...plus the up and coming Mariota
Notre Dame? Only Montana and Joe Theismann were much good. They had their share of bad busts: John Huarte, Rick Mirer, Brady Quinn.
Michigan has HOF Benny Friedman....plus Brady. Harbaugh decent.
Miami Fla.....had that group all there at the same time: Kelly, Bernie, Vinny. But not much good since. George Mir back in the 60s.
BYU was QB U for a while: Steve Young, Jim McMahon, Marc Wilson
