:stopitslime: please. Let's look back at the amazing Sanchez, Barkley, Booty, Leinart, Palmer USC tradition. They all were drafted off the strength of Pete.

If you really want to get into it Purdue has a much better NFL legacy

Yeah, Their's Drew Brees and.......

Negged for talking out your ass....

According to ESPN.com, Purdue QBs have won (and started)[14] more NFL games than any other school; thrown for the most touchdowns and yards in the NFL. Purdue QBs have won more League TD titles (14 through the 2012 NFL season) than any other school.

If you're a real Redskins fan...how would RG3 taint Lamar Jackson? That makes no sense:francis:
RG3 legitimized many of the complaints people had with Jacksons current play style in spite of how dynamic they were as college players.

Similar frame, similar offense and it doesn't help that Jackson shares RG3's habit inviting contact.

at least someone can read numbers.

i say some actual shyt and these Trojan hoes get their feelings hurt. :yeshrug:

fukk USC and their corny ass fans. The V stands for Vagina. Let that Vince Young run burn slow. Beat up on little Pac-12 teams and get your shyt pushed in by Bama. USC is the #2 football team in LA above the Rams, the Broncos and the Chargers. Raiders are #1. Let these facts hurt. Antonio Cromartie's condoms ain't the only Trojans full of holes.

Because USC is one of the few teams left that runs some of the pro style/west cost offense & their QBs look good at it while these other teams run the shotgun spread

But RG3 was a playoff QB until his coaches ran him to the ground. They practically used him like a runningback and when he got hurt they kept throwing him out there until his body gave out.

They used Cam the same way at first, but his coaches knew better and now he's practically a pocket passer that only scrambles when its absolutely necessary rather than a read option QB that has 20+ designed runs a game.

none of those guys panned out. Look at all the 1st round picks of big 12 QBs. In a conference that throws the ball all over the field none of those guys become above average long term starters.
Yeah I mean, if your standard for "panned out" is better than Bradford and Tannehill and RGIII who are/were long term starters who have played a lot of games and had a lot of great moments in the league, then you're really narrowing down your scope here. if you look at which QB's have "panned out" by this definition in the past 30 years or so, you're not going to find a correlation to any school or conference. And I did say in my previous post that the exception is when there are systematic reasons that certain positions in certain systems need to be filled by guys who are fundamentally not a good fit for the NFL (see Georgia Tech, Navy, etc. QBs)

There are a lot of non-traditional/non-pro style offenses in the Big 12. And the offenses that are closer to pro style aren't exactly recruiting your prototype NFL guy that those scouts love. Texas and OU have sent a few guys (McCoy, Young, Landry Jones, Bradford, etc) but they're not GREAT players. It's about the players themselves, not the Big 12. Maybe there are lots of bad defenses and lots of points and passing yards, but it's rarely accomplished by guys that make you say "oh he's definitely going to the league". It's usually guys that you're like "yeah he throws it around a lot but he doesn't have the arm talent to succeed in the league". Of course there are a few that give you hope. If Bradford weren't such a "safe" QB afraid to take risks, maybe he'd be a star right now. He has the ability, maybe not the mentality. I think Mason Rudolph has a real chance. Maybe Mayfield? Put guys better suited for the NFL in the Big 12, and you'll get more Big 12 QBs in the NFL.

So 2 in 20 years vs like 6 in under 10 years
tbf, its 2 in 50 years.

And more importantly, both QBs are better than every QB USC has ever produced. His point was about Purdue's QB legacy, and it trumps USC's.

You could also say Southern Miss has a greater QB legacy than Purdue if we're just going to base things off one person...
