I may be incredibly late to the party, but was just turned on to Zach Bryan's music...oh man. That guy is good. Something in the Orange is just mind-blowing.
I bet there are more than that. He grew up around the team and probably had guys like Bradford throw him the ball as a kid. Notice it doesn't say "in games."
QB salaries are broken in the NFL. Too large a percentage of the cap goes to the QB to build a team around them after they are off their rookie deal.
They are, but that is the one guy who, if good enough, can cover up a ton of sins and make your team successful. Case-in-point, the (yes, they suck...wink, wink) Chiefs. Their WR corps is NOT good, they are VERY average. Their OT play was also VERY average. BUT, they have 15 and he can elevate everyone around him. He drug that team to the SB on one leg. When you have that guy you can win a lot with less $$ at other positions. The big thing is you MUST draft incredibly well in today's NFL in order to have sustained success with high-dollar QBs. So far Brett Veach has done that; 7 rookies played on defense in the SB with two rookies scoring TDs on offense in the SB as well.

Completely agree. Nobody’s winning a SB with a guy like Trent Dilfer under center these days. Even having an above-average QB puts a ceiling on how good you can be. But a great QB raises that ceiling to SB levels.
One QB played against the best talent in texsa, won the Elite 11 competition and was the gatorade player of the year. The other played against the worst talent in Louisiana, ducked all camps and competition and is living solely off his uncle’s and grandpa’s achievements.
They still have to prove theirselves, but I think we got a baller and they got chrissy sims 2.0.

That's probably a good comp. It's straight from the UT playbook to recruit based on hype rather than acheivement.
