Can RG3 Be The Exception? Why Don't Big 12 QBs Succeed In The NFL?

Check this one out......this one is a little too uncomfortable.
Missouri’s Brad Smith, the first player in college football history to pass for 8,000 yards and rush for 4,000 in his career, became a Jets’ wide receiver.

Another way to look at it is that, just from an odds point of view, its way past time for a former Big 12 QB to be an NFL star

Once again, Mangos and Lychees.
All of these.
All of these.
This brings a few more questions to mind:
Has a Big 12 QB ever won a playoff game in the NFL?
And for a "stump the expert" question, who is the greatest Big 12 QB in NFL history? Think about that for a minute.
And am I the only one who wanted to show Agent Scully my x-files?

Perhaps a stretch or a great omen???
TCU is going to the big 12 and the only franchise/HOF QB our team ever had besides Sonny was from there. Some Texas native named Sammy Baugh attended. I think he worked out OK but admit it was (even) before my time.
Time for history to repeat itself for the Big 12 and our beloved Redskins!!!

One thing that a lot of the QBs you're referencing have in common is that there were questions about their arm strength and skepticism that their completion percentages were inflated by a short passing game and lots of high percentage passes.
RG3, on the hand, often (successfully) threw the ball deep and can throw the ball with zip and fit the ball into tight windows.
Griffin had more "air yards...the amount of passing yards a quarterback gets, obviously, through the air, before a receiver catches and runs with the ball" than Luck or Weeden last year.

Remember the concerns about his height. Some were saying that 6-2 is a huge stretch. Well, he measured 6-23/8 at the combine - about a half inch taller than listed.
Be strong Redskins fans. The haters will try any desperate angle to attack the viability of RG3. Truth be told, they are scared.

I sure hope the Cowboys take that over-rated FA Matt Flynn to replace Romo, so he can drive the Cowboys deeper into misery.

lmao, if by 3rd pessimist, you mean the guy who has been right every single time he was pessimistic then yeah. I would love to be optimistic and when this team gives me a reason to do so? I will be.

Don't forget about Josh Freeman in Tampa. He had an off-year after an excellent rookie campaign. He'll bounce back this year.
And honestly, Bradford had so many WRs drop passes last year - they really should have beaten us if his WRs could hang onto the ball at all. I can only assume other games went that way as well (the Skins game was the only one I watched).

How many great NFL quarterbacks did Tennessee produce before or after Manning?
How many great qbs did PITT produce other than Marino?
As I recall Jurgensen went to Duke which has never been a great football destination.

Before John Elway, the idea of a big time QB coming from Stanford would have been something of a joke, too. Now with any Luck it's a hotbed.
