Yep

Rodgers
Russell Wilson
Brees
Brady
Goff
Etc

Elite highly touted college QBs rarely pan out

Rodgers was not highly touted. He was a JUCO transfer that had 2 decent years at Cal. He was barely on the radar. Never was a heisman finalist.

Russell Wilson had to transfer from his first school and only made waves as a redshirt senior. Even then he was not a heisman finalist.

Brady was benched by his own college team multiple times.

Goff was like Rodgers at Cal. Put up numbers but largely irrelevant until draft time. He never came close to being a heisman finalist.

I think you misinterpreted what I said. I didn't say they weren't good players in college. For example, Dobbs was a great player in college. But he wasn't a SUPERSTAR. College superstars are guys like Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield. Guys who won heisman trophies, national titles, and were the faces of the sport. All the guys you mentioned weren't that. They were largely in the same class as Josh Dobbs during college. Memorable college player with pretty good success but definitely not the superstar face of the sport types. Drew Brees is probably the closest thing to a college superstar that you cited and even he never won anything of note in college. He was more of just a stat guy on averave teams.

If you were smart you wpuld have said PEYTON MANNING. He's the last guy who was a superstar in college to translate that same success to the NFL. CAM NEWTON is also another guy you could argue was a superstar in both the NFL and college. Other than those two, you can't really find many college superstars that matched that level of success in the NFL.

The only two teams that look legit are KC and the Rams. But neither of them can be trusted in the playoffs :mjgrin:

League is wide the fukk open and this the first time in YEARS that this kind of parity existed especially with it being week 8 (usually we know playoff teams and whos who)
:mjlol:only 4 teams have a legitimate chance to win it all out of 32
:mjlol:at this fake ass "parity"

They threw the flag for helmet to helmet and then in the refs explanation he said some shyt about Baker being allowed to be hit in the head because he was a runner or something.

It's crazy how the NFL's so inconsistent with their bullshyt.Had that been Tom Brady, not only would they NOT

have picked the flag up, but the defender would probably be facing a suspension right now

I'll have to walk back my comment about there being a big enough gap between Mahommes and Brees as I did not actually realize Brees was having the statistical season he has been having. It's surprising to see he has no INT's.
Yeah but shhhh, let's stop talking about that. Don't need him throwing multiple picks on primetime vs Minnesota next Sunday lol
