The problem there is upside. Guys who have played in the pro style offense in college generally tend to be as good as they're going to get once they get into the pros. It's the Jeff Tedford theory. Look at some of the "can't miss" prospects he coached-David Carr, Kyle Boller, Joey Harrington, Akili Smith.
