In the South you might go 10-6 and be 3rd in the division just to squeeze in the playoffs, like the Falcons last year.

Or have a rough year while worse teams get in because their divisions/conference are trash in comparison.

It is what it is.

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.

Thats a rare oddity thats happenes twice in that division (2010 and 2017).
But for the most part, 10-6 is atleast a wild card throughout the NFL and is pretty much the minimum standard for most teams to try and achieve.


Nfc south is a beast though, aint no denying that
