God Damn Tebow's babe is smokin!!! And as for my thoughts about JC back in 2005? Like any draftee, it is a gamble, and to be honest I thought Gibbs took a gamble on JC. JC and his Auburn team were stacked with 2 first round RBs and one helluva O line. Was it JC or was it because he was flodded with talent around him? That is why I am not so sure about the likes of a Tebow or Bradford. The NFL is all about parity these days, unless you are lucky to be on one of the elite teams left in the league. We should keep JC because he has survived many systems and does seem to be getting better statistically. Plus you have to think Collins is toast. I don't trust MR Hawaii at all. He was a cheap gamble for sure.

Those "elite" teams frequently are elite because they have QB's who were taken high (Manning, Rivers, etc.)

Favre and Brady weren't. And as for those elite teams, they are all stacked with talent also. It is like what came first, the chicken or the egg. Do you think Peyton Manning could make the Detroit Lions winners? Brady inherited a stacked team from Bledsoe, plus probably the best FO in football at the time. Plus you probably missed my other thread posts about the second tier team QBs. Brees was from Purdue. Favre was from Ole Miss, Manning was from Tennessee. All good teams for sure, but not the powerhouse caliber of Florida, Bama, or Oklahoma. Those 3 made there respective teams better and faced tough competiton, thus in my mind making them better suited for the parity of the NFL. The only successful contemporary NFL QB that came from a big program was Brady, and he was a 6th round pick. In short, these QBs from the NCAA superpowers are spoiled and might have a rougher time making it in the NFL than a guy that played around a less talented team, but still was a winner nonetheless.

Right here a Golden Eagle is crying. Favre is from Southern Miss, GusFrerotte, not those lousy, baby-eating, animal-marrying Ole Miss Rebels.
