    Theo makes the point that a lot of people are making
    these days now that the “spread” has taken over
    in college ball.

    But it also kinda presents an opportunity of sorts.
    It may be ‘hard’ to figure out who the good QBs are,
    but they ‘are’ out there.

    I wonder if the Rams might draft
    two QBs ?

    Laram, mentioned that maybe the Rams
    oughta kick the tires of one
    Josh Freeman, btw. Couldnt hurt.

    It’s darn near impossible to evaluate college QBs NFL talent when running “that offense.” Most spread QBs tend to not do well for more than a year or two when moving up to the NFL. And very few take the steps to be consistent, long career QBs like the pro-set pocket passers. The problem – that offense is hard to stop due to the varied talent level in college ball which makes evaluating the QBs play extremely difficult.

    Still not sold on Mariota. That running thing doesn’t work in the NFL consistently and receivers don’t wind up as wide open as FSU left them repeatedly by overplaying individual players from one play to the next.

    Here is Fisher on scouting spread qbs:

    http://theramshuddle.com/topic/fisher-1230-vid-link/ the quarterback play at the college level is different than the quarterback play at our level. So, if you’re going to go out and draft a quarterback, you have to be certain that he can handle the pro-style offense…..Quarterbacks, as you know if you watch the (college) game, they’re looking over and they’re getting the call from the sideline and they’re running the play. There’s not a lot of communication on the line of scrimmage, there’s not adjustments, there’s not Mike IDs. There’s not reads, there’s not the things that we ask them to do.

    Okay, if you look at the red-bolded bit…you know who he’s describing? Bradford in 2010. Exact same thing.

    Yeah, i was thinking that when i first read that. Bradford.

    And then there was Andrew Luck — Man, did the Colts get lucky there. Unbelievable. Peyton and then they
    luck into Luck.

    Anyway, I’ll be happy if they can just bring in some talented
    OLinemen. If the Defense had gelled early and If Hill hadnt had to run for his life so much,
    I think they coulda gone nine and seven.

    So…just fix the damn OLine
    and bring in 500 QBs.
