    Id never put my franchise in his hands. If he was the clear top pick which he may be, id trade down and take the extra picks.

    What is the ultimate win though: Getting top 5 NFL QB money now and failing out, or sticking around in college to improve your skills and risk career-ending injury, or getting replaced by the next hotshot QB recruit? Its a quandary. It sucks, but I know what I would advise my kid to do.

    My opinion is that hes just not that good. Hes an athlete trying to play qb. AR did well to get paid instead of coming back to prove he can't develop.

    And I bet the smart GMs see that failed experiment and apply it to their draft decisions in the future. Some dumb GM is always there trying to make a name for themselves though.

    Without that throw, UGA becomes a back to back to back National Champion.

    No one on the list is worth a first round grade in my opinion. Sanders and Ward have bust written all over them.

    Just as Kadarius Toney had manifest talent and likewise lack of dedication to craft. But KT saw his missed potential, changed his approach, accepted the discipline of coaching and did well for himself moving forward. It's sad to see if AR is squandering such innate ability.

    And Dart is an undisciplined narcissist, IMO. He's got a ton of ability below the neck but seems fragile above the shoulders.

    It's so easy to overlook the mental aspect of QB and how much that plays into overall performance. But, again, I get it. If you could be "the one" who could teach him. . . .

    I don't believe that stuff can be taught. You can fine-tune a guy, but there's some mental abilities of processing that people are just born with.

    Agree - I allways thought P. Manning could see the whole field when the ball was snapped without having to look at any one area. Many great pinball players can play with multiple balls without looking at any ball. Definitely not something that can be taught. And as you said speed of processing info is individually limited also.
