  • A note on this "what school do you look to to obtain talent question". Recall that for the first 50 years of football the primary sources of football talent were the Ivy Leagues. They were at the forefront right up till the 1930s. Then came the era of Notre Dame and Army and Navy. Army/Navy slipped.....and it seems that Notre Dame has slipped since the late 80s. It has been a full generation since they won a national title.

    So, a new era can come along at any time. Maybe Baylor can become somewhat of a powerhouse. If smaller, private colleges like Miami and Notre Dame can do it, so might a Baylor if they are able to attract talent.

    Nothing says "come to our school to play football" like showing top notch recruits things like Heisman Trophies, high first round draft picks, multiple first and second round draft picks. Phil Taylor, RGIII, Wright, Gordon, etc. etc. all say "screw Texas and Oklahoma come to Baylor and become an NFL spotlighted prospect".

  • This doesn't change anything about your breakdown because it's still ACC. But Schaub went to UVA not Virginia Tech. I'm a UVA fan and I take major offense to that buddy.

    Don't disrespect the great UVA with that disgusting Virginia Tech nonsense.

    Sorry, I was going from memory. At least I got the right state.

  • No worries. I'm not actually mad haha, but Virginia Tech is my college Steelers. So it hurt haha

  • Here is the breakdown of the projected 32 NFL starting QBs this fall, and the conferences from whence they come:

    The Pac-12: 7: Sanchez USC, Moore Ore St., Luck Stanford, Rodgers Cal, Cassell USC, Smith Utah now in Pac 12, Palmer USC

    SEC: 6: Flynn LSU, P.Manning Tenn., Stafford Georgia, Cutler Vanderbilt, Newton Auburn, E.Manning Ole Miss

    ACC: 6: Rivers NC St., Schaub Va. Tech, Ponder FSU, Hasselback BC, Ryan BC, Vick Va. Tech.

    Big 12: 6: Bradford OK, Weeden OK St., Dalton TCU now in B-12, Freeman KSU, Gabbert Mizz., Griffin Baylor

    Big 10: 2 Brady Michigan, Brees Purdue

    Conference USA: 1 Kolb Houston

    MAC: 1 Roethlisberger Miami,O.

    Ivy: Fitzpatrick Harvard

    (So, the Big 12 seems to be holding its own at producing QBs.....It is the Big Ten that seems to be lagging off.)

    Several starting jobs will be up for grabs. Sanchez/Kolb/Flynn/Gabbert/Moore even the Browns. I just went with the projected starters.

    Even if he did fail a third at Utah, which I doubt considering the circumstances of who came out with the info and when, he still admitted to the two he got at Baylor in the post draft interview he had with Cleveland media.

    Oh and when it comes down to it I will always believe a person face to face over some anonymous people who are not willing to give their names.
