Austin isn't a bad QB at all. Yeah, he did give us a couple of turnovers because of his inexperience... but he is mobile, accurate and holds his **** together.
The guy is much better than Hill, IMO... and frankly, I think he's better than Bradford. He's going to be a good QB in the NFL IMO. Of course, I did graduate from Southern Miss and I did get to see Austin first hand here... but regardless of what his record was in college (not good), he was a very solid QB. With a good team around him he would have won many more games. I also saw Brett Favre here first and, and while Austin is no Favre... he is good in his own right.
The point is, yes Brees is a really good QB, but minus the INT's, Drew couldn't throw much better passes than Austin did today.
