I can only assume the OP watches very little football. The last SEC QB to be highly regarded/drafted in the NFL? Aside from Newton? I'm sincerely asking. The entire conference, spread/option completely aside, is predicated upon ball control and line control. Arkansas was the line exception, and just hired a coach who will move them back to the herd. QBs are not consistently featured successfully in the SEC compared with defensive tackles.
You're kinda making his point.
I thought about this in February, but chose not to post anything about it, because the "you're whining" and the "wambulance" comments would have over run the thread.
It's a legitimate discussion founded on solid reasoning.
His reasoning was that they offer duffel bags. My reasoning was that they feature one type of player and not the other. How is his argument made by my argument when they are completely different? Similarly, you can look at our defensive scheme and say that it doesn't feature your traditional, heavy hitter, big-name defensive tackle. By contrast Miami's quarterback/offensive style features and elevates players at that position. Same with the offense of line. Miami set gets players noticed, and shows their versatility in pass pro and run blocking.
Neither of these concepts requires duffel bags. And that's not questioning whether or not duffel bags are used.
Wouldn't you feature the player that you can more easily obtain?
Why would you feature a QB when the QBs you get aren't that good?
The QB's in the SEC are game managers. Don't ***** the pooch and we'll win. They aren't big time risk takers and don't project very will to the next level.
This is where the conversation could start about why they don't attract top level Pro-Style QB's.
