This guy was average in college and terrible in the NFL with multiple shots from the Ravens and Bears. There is no lengthy tape on this guy where anyone would say, "Yeah, he'll lead us to 11 wins in 18 games."
Guy makes Kevin Glenn look like John Elway.
There's a trend in the CFL where I-AA quarterbacks (Ray, Lulay, Mitchell, Reilly, Harris) or smaller-school I-A quarterbacks (Burris, Collaros) are having the success. I have a hypothesis that this may be because they have to be more precise in their passing in college, where at some of the bigger schools, you can just throw it up because your receiver will go make a play.
Then when the smaller-school guys get to the CFL, they're playing with guys who can already go make a play, so their precision passing stands out further.
I guess my point is that average QBs can look good at the Alabamas, Texas', Ohio States and Notre Dames of the world because the surrounding talent makes them look good.
