Here again you are wrong. NFL production has zero to do with collegiate talent. Tebow was one of the greatest college QBs ever. He wasn’t that successful in the NFL. That doesn’t change the fact of how talented he was in college.
No he wouldn’t have. Not even close.
Allen was very raw in college. And when he first got to the NFL. He had a great toolset, but needed to be developed a lot. There’s a reason he was at Wyoming and not somewhere bigger. If you saw Allen play in college, you’d know what I mean.
Josh definitely needed a year to develop. It was evident when he threw more interceptions than touchdowns in his rookie year, but Buffalo had a plan for him and executed it perfectlyI did watch Allen in college. In fact I was so sure of his elite talent that I rated him the #1 QB in the 2018 draft and #2 overall prospect after Saquon Barkley. I said he would be Dan Marino with mobility.

Well here it is. The moment you've all been waiting for. Hours of tape study went into this. I tried my best to make sure these rankings were as close to perfect as I could get. I'm sorry about the long delay but this is my most extensive draft rankings yet. And for good reason. The 2018...www.volnation.com
The only people who thought Josh Allen was raw and needed time to develop are those who look at stats and not the tape. Talent wise Josh was always ready. He just lacked an adequate supporting cast in college and his first 2 years at Buffalo. The second Buffalo got him Stefon Diggs he transformed into an MVP candidate. Others might have been surprised by his sudden emergence in 2020. I wasn't. I literally was predicting it would happen because I saw the talent was there he just needed some help.
It seems you were correct about Lamar Jackson too.I did watch Allen in college. In fact I was so sure of his elite talent that I rated him the #1 QB in the 2018 draft and #2 overall prospect after Saquon Barkley. I said he would be Dan Marino with mobility.

You mean the same Cam Newton who was Tebow's backup at Florida before getting kicked off the team?Put Cam Newton in his place and those Florida teams are even more dominant.
Just because a guy lucks into a great situation doesn't make him great. The NFL is the great litmus test on if you were ever any good. Guys who hide behind elite talent in college like Tebow get exposed in the pros.
Yes.You mean the same Cam Newton who was Tebow's backup at Florida before getting kicked off the team?
seems like there was a green knock off Big Wheel. What was it called?It's a big wheel! All the cool kids had one. My "rich" cousin had a Dukes of Hazzard edition. Mine was plain.....

The old plastic Halloween costumes were so junky. The little rubber strap would pull loose off the mask about the 3rd time you raised it up because you couldn't breath. That rubber strap would also rip all the hairs out of your head.. Mom had a 66 Malibu with vinyl seats and between those seats and those plastic suits, you'd be soaken wet before you got to Granny's house. I can remember trick or treating out of that Malibu twice. I was Casper one year and Superman the next. (I was 7 or 8 when she quit driving it.)
Cam and Tebow were two of the best college QBs of all-time. It’s not a zero sum game.Yes.
Who also won a National Championship at Auburn with much less talent than those Florida teams.
Would you really argue Jake Frohm was better than Justin Fields too?
It’s absolutely not a stretch to think Cam Newton could have elevated them even more. Not to mention Cam got the Panthers to the Super Bowl. Tebow had Percy Harvin too who was the best player in college football. Tebow was perfect for what Meyer wanted from his QBs.
Kept the sidewalks and driveways hot on mine; rode the wheels about near off of it. It was just like that one! The Bronco totaled my General out, and it was no more...parked it right behind mom, and she didn't see it backing out.
Im ok, though...I got past it long ago.
It’s not hate. It’s just realistic conversation. I loved that team. I just think there are two lessons from this.I can’t believe the hate buddy, I was in Tempe the night we won and was proud to be a Tennessee Vol that night. I for the life of me will never understand the negativity from some of this fan base![]()
agreed. cam was special, really more gifted than tebow. which is saying something bc Tebow was a freak. Tebow had that bulldog mentality. which, made him an insane cfb player.Cam and Tebow were two of the best college QBs of all-time. It’s not a zero sum game.
I’d love to have seen Shuler in a system like Meyer’s in college (but still at Tennessee, obviously).
