It’s pretty obvious I’m pointing out that USC QBs haven’t won anything in the NFL. I left out Matt Cassel and Rodney Peete. Doesn’t mean it will continue but it’s something to note.I asked first
I suppose Caleb Williams feels he can follow some history___
Nope. Didn't even suggest they were success stories. Pointed out that they are some of the top USC QBs that have played in the NFL and showed their passing yard totals in the pros, which are as you said, are average at best. They just all coincidentally ended up in Dallas at some point.
Right, but like I further explained above, they didn't really have a choice of where they got traded.
Wasn’t sure where you were coming from with that post. Their passing yard totals in the NFL weren’t anything to write home about. If Williams ends up with the Cowboys, it will mean he flamed out like the rest of those USC QBs.
True, but they somewhat dictated their futures by REFUSING TO PLAY for the teams that had picked them No.1 overall.
Thought sharing their less than impressive NFL stats would further emphasize the notion that USC does not produce good NFL QBs. I do think the only way Dallas gets Williams is if he flames out. They won't be drafting highly in 2024 and probably not in 2025, either. They don't have enough assets to make a trade to acquire the pick necessary to draft Williams. Even if they could pull off a trade to get him, I don't think they should. While I don't think he will be garbage, I don't see him as one of the potential best ever, either. More importantly, the cost to get him will hamper the ability to field a team around him with other draft picks. Realistically, the chances of him ending up in Dallas are low. Him being a success are also low as with most first round QBs. The USC connection is more a funny one than having an actual impact on his potential NFL success, but I like it.
exactly
I didn't say the Cowboys were going to be picking middle of the first round. He didn't only mention the Cowboys. Regardless, my point was that he doesn't have the control his comment suggested
Never seen anyone on this board who looks for something to complain about more than you. No one knows if he’s going to be the same. If he becomes an elite NFL QB he’ll be the only one from USC.
The vast majority of first-round QBs lately are complete busts. He struggled often at OU.
Dude seriously?
And I used to get involved with those type of debates about schools and being careful of who you take from my school because the positions in the past have it worked out and if you really look at quarterbacks truly most of them don't workout it doesn't matter what school they went to and now with the transfer protocol how many have they really went to which school do you peg on them I mean they're actually a guy from a few schools that don't usually put out good quarterbacks ended up with Alabama ended up winning the Heisman and then ended up in an NFL well did they really come from Alabama I mean it's the first school they went to was Ohio State or Texas Tech or wherever where those schools usually say be careful but they ended up with Alabama at the end got their Heisman then went into the NFL but really you should give the credit to Ohio State you know like Joe Burrows I mean truly he went to Ohio State first right then he went to LSU I mean how many get quarterbacks is LSU usually put out but technically isn't that Ohio State but how many good quarterbacks does Ohio State put out I mean I think it's a silly debate nowadays because first they don't stay in school long enough you have the transfer portal where it's everyone seems to be taking advantage of and these guys are hired guns they're getting paid now but really trying to pick a great quarterback like it's one in 10 it's it's like the odds of winning the lottery literally so many just are not good once they hit the NFL.
Kansas City traded up to number 10 to draft Mahomes. The trade up surprised everyone, many thought it was a reach. No one could’ve ever imagined Mahomes would be as good as he is. Mitch Trubisky was taken eight spots higher.
OK well I remembered he was maybe supposed to go to 15 and that's why Kansas City made the move to jump over whoever was gonna pick him and that's the trade partner they found but either way let's not think Mr. whiskey is the only one I mean it would take me over an hour to go back the last five drafts and find all the actual disappointments at quarterbacks taking in the top first round.. So as much as people are drooling over Caleb Williams he could just be another kyler Murray or worse....
That’s debatable considering Payton Manning and Andrew Luck but he is at least in the conversation, sure.
Manning and Elway both had to approve of the team they were traded to, otherwise the Giants and Broncos would have never made the deal.
