Draft BOLO

I don't trust QBs from the bigger schools. Too much talent around them and it makes them harder to read. Not a big McCarron fan. But Bridgewater... that guy took an alright Louisville team and beat the crap out of Florida.

Don't trust QBs from bigger schools?
Would you say these are not "big schools":
Michigan...Tom Brady
Tennessee...Peyton Manning
Purdue...Drew Brees
Auburn...Cam Newton
Boston College...Matt Ryan
Georgia...Matt Stafford
Stanford...Andrew Luck
Oklahoma...Sam Bradford
USC...Carson Palmer
NC St.....Phillip Rivers
Mississippi...Eli Manning
Wisconsin....Russell Wilson
Oklahoma St....Weeden
For every BR that comes out of Miami, Oh., or ever Colin Kaepernick that comes out of Nevada-Reno, there are 3-4 starting NFL QBs that come from the power conference schools.

When I think of the bigger schools I think of the Oklahomas, the USCs, the Ohio States, the Michigans. The ones that are always in the national title hunt and get the top recruits just because of their name.Don't trust QBs from bigger schools?

Georgia? Yea they're a big school in a big conference, but they're not one of the elite programs that is in the hunt every year. The reason they've been in it the last few years is quarterbacking. Stafford and Murray are pretty good qbs. In between those two qbs Georgia wasn't in BCS bowl games and playing for the SEC Championship.
You do have your exceptions though. Brady at Michigan, Palmer at USC, and even though he hasn't done much in the NFL, I'd put Sam Bradford from Oklahoma in that category.
I guess most bigger schools just run gimmicky offenses. Give me a guy from a pro style offense any day.

Agree on Pro style QB...
On Clowney...
He has been an awesome DE in a 4-3, but where do you play him in a 3-4???

Was on my phone this morning and couldn't give a good idea of what I mean. The guys I consider of this list to be from smaller, non traditional power schools are Matt Ryan, Kolb, Cutler, Dalton, Weeden, Romo, Stafford, Rodgers, Schaub, Luck, Gabbert, Alex Smith, Tannehill, Brees, Eli, Vick, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Wilson (most of his time was at NC State), Kaepernick, Freeman, Locker, and Griffin.
I'd almost put Manning in there just because Manning was running that offense and Tennessee is hit or miss on being a power. Back then they were phenomenal, but now they're not so much. I'd almost put Newton in there as well. Without Newton, Auburn has been a pretty mediocre team for the better part of a decade (04 as an obvious exception). Most QBs from schools like Oklahoma, USC, Miami, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, etc. just don't pan out. The QBs I trust the most are the ones that go to a school like Georgia or Stanford. They have some talent around them so they can show of their skills, but they're not overwhelmed with 5 star recruits every year that can make a mediocre QB look good.
Why I like Bridgewater so much? He plays for Louisville, a team that is solid and can usually put together 7-5 seasons and play in a bowl game, but you put a QB like Teddy in there and they immediately jump up to the Sugar Bowl and dominate a really good, one loss Florida team. Plus he has a good head on his shoulders unlike so many players.

Honestly I am not sure where you get your thinking. A decent QB can come from just about anywhere. Here are the schools where Hall of Fame QBs have come from:
UCLA...2 Aikman/Waterfield
Oregon...2 Van Brocklin/Fouts
Alabama...2 Namath/Starr
Purdue...2 Dawson/Griese...could have another with Brees
Duke...2 Jurgenson/Parker
Michigan...Friiedman...will have another with Brady
TCU...Baugh
Regis Colleg...Herber
Columbia...Luckman
Kentucky...Blanda
La. Tech...Bradshaw
Stanford...Elway
Northwestern...Graham
Miami, Fla...Kelly
Texas....Layne
Pitt...Marino
Notre Dame...Montana
Washington...Moon
Navy...Staubach
Georgia...Tarkenton
LSU...Tittle
Louisville...Unitas
BYU...Young
Big schools, small schools, etc. I will admit that particulary Oklahoma and Ohio St. have been more traditionally RB, rather than QB schools.
But, I mean, the one school in Ohio that might produce a HOF QB could be Miami, O. not Ohio St. (it already has produced 1 POTUS to -0- for OSU

I think the point 'Hunt Daddy' is trying to make, is that you can see a college QB flatter to deceive, at a top college like USC - see: Barkley, M - where his mistakes can be masked by excellent players around them. They may struggle in the NFL because they don't have the relatively elite talent around them. Then, those QBs that come from 'smaller' schools don't have the quality around them to mask their mistakes, so you can generally be a bit more sure that they're the guy driving the team rather than relying on a stud WR/RB.

OK, sure. To a point yes. I think the one that that can definitely be said is that USC QBs are universally overrated. Mainly because they are THE pro QB in a way in the second largest media market in the nation....but Leinert/Sanchez/Barkley all are overrated. Only Carson Palmer, somewhat, lived up to his billing

Right, it's not like you can't get great QBs out of great colleges - obviously, the best high school players sign with the best colleges and do sometimes end up being the top guys in the NFL. But you have to be a bit more cautious to make sure you get what you think you're getting.

Teddy Twatwater highlights from Week 1 of CFB;
Granted they are playing Ohio U but Teddy still made some pretty nice throws. Will be interesting to see what he does against some top tier teams later in the season.
If we do go after him I just don't want to mortage our future on him like Washington did with RG3. Too much to give up and too much uncertainity.

Obviously not forgetting Johnny Football. Also, for the homers there's braxton miller.
In terms of who we'll be drafting, *if* we have a good enough season, we might be looking at a TE, ILB, DB, or OG. I think if the players we have live up to potential, we could be set everywhere else, unless a stud comes along. However, it's worth keeping an eye on the top WRs in case Flash decides he loves that ganja too darn much and the team cuts/trades him.

I wouldn't take either before round 5 with a hope that they become a starting QB. It doesn't matter how good Miller may or may not do this year, he gets injuries almost every single game. He isn't someone you want to spend a high draft pick on. Johnny Football also thinks his actual name in fucking Johnny Football and his ego is too huge to be a starter in the NFL. I mean he took money for auto graphs after winning the Heisman, keeps getting in trouble with alcohol related incidents, and he got pulled after only playing the 3rd quarter of the Rice game for being an asshole.
Don't trust QBs from bigger schools?
Would you say these are not "big schools":
Michigan...Tom Brady
Tennessee...Peyton Manning
Purdue...Drew Brees
Auburn...Cam Newton
Boston College...Matt Ryan
Georgia...Matt Stafford
Stanford...Andrew Luck
Oklahoma...Sam Bradford
USC...Carson Palmer
NC St.....Phillip Rivers
Mississippi...Eli Manning
Wisconsin....Russell Wilson
Oklahoma St....Weeden
For every BR that comes out of Miami, Oh., or ever Colin Kaepernick that comes out of Nevada-Reno, there are 3-4 starting NFL QBs that come from the power conference schools.
The only schools from the list I would consider to be big name schools are USC, Oklahoma, and to a slightly lesser extent Wisconsin and Michigan. How many teams did you just mention are constantly in the top 10-15 for recruits? When was the last time said teams contended for a national championship and if these played for one recently what team didn't immediately drop off the face of the earth when their QB went to the NFL.
Purdue, NC State, Mississippi, and BC are as likely to put out a top QB prospect as Miami OH is. Auburn and Wisconsin put out good QB's who were with their teams for only one season.
