Anyone notice Nick Florence from Baylor this year performing, statistically, very comparably to RGIII in the Art Briles' offense?

RGIII in 2011:
291 comp - 402 att, 4,293 yds, 37 TD, 6 INT
179 rushes, 699 yds, 3.9 avg, 10 TD

Florence in 2012:
286 comp - 484 att, 4,309 yds, 33 TD, 13 INT
139 rushes, 568 yds, 4.1 avg, 10 TD

Florence is supposed to be a 6th - 7th round pick (if that)... just saying... a flier as a back-up, back-up plan? (Ha)

Seriously though, those numbers aren't strikingly different... and if we start 2013 with Cousins under center while RGIII is still healing... we will need a 2nd string, preferably not Grossman.

I'm not saying this is the best use of one of our late round picks... but the dude learned under RGIII once before...
