Hey, he was 19 yesterday, now he's 20 so that totally doesn't apply anymore /sarcastica and a turkey leg for my agreement with you.

FSU is, but for some reason, Fisher wants to lean on a 19 year old kid and completely neglect the boatload of NFL talent that resides in his RB meeting room.

Brent Musburger is the most insufferable commentator I have ever listened to. He has NO clue what he is talking about and every year, listening to him laud players who he may well have never laid eyes on before, makes me want to claw my eyes out and jam a knife into both of my ears. Whenever I hear that he's calling a VT game it makes me cry on the inside....and then I punch somebody in the face. To me, he is the embodiment of the ESPN hype machine.

Is it just me or is there really no great great team this year in CFB. I just don't see either of these teams as that great

after spending years refining their motor skills, reflexes, and body toward a different skill set...

...and still having years of refining to go in order to be a starting/good quarterback. As I said above, I think a team will have to do less work with him to make him a usable TE/H-back than they would to make him a usable/starting QB. The examples of converted NFL position players above, not to mention the rise of former primarily basketball players having success, prove that teams will develop a guy that has a skill set, despite what his background is. Think of it like this: a high school basketball team's tallest player is a 6'4" guy who has great ball handling skills and can shoot and would be a great SG in college, but the high school coach sticks him at Center because he's their best rebounder and only guy that can guard opposing teams big men. His college coach isn't going to work him in at center just because his high school coach only had him practice post moves. They're going to take advantage of his best assets. In other words, just because LT had the best QB skills on our team, doesn't mean he didn't have the best TE skills also, we just had other adequate options at TE and their was too big of a gap between his QB skills and Leal's skills.

If I were a GM/Coach, I wouldn't want to spend that many practice reps and time on a boom or bust QB unless I already had a locked-in starting veteran QB who really has a hold of the offense already. That dwindles down the teams that would draft him, and many of those teams already have a serviceable back-up. More and more teams are only dressing out 2 QBs, and I can't imagine them keeping a roster spot for a guy that they're still working on accuracy, decision making, and working through a progression with. If he can't make strides in those areas during training camp and the pre-season, I could easily see him not making the cut since he doesn't have an amazing college career to prove he can perform when it counts.

" This is ACC football".......(lack of VT footage is unintentional and does not necessarily represent the views of the conference, kinda)
