what am i missing?

i go to stanford games.  only to see t.c. or whoever plays qb for stanford throw the ball into the ground or out of bounds when they're being chased.  t.c. is actually a little more accurate than Trent Edwards was in college, but if you can't handle a college defensive end running you down, what makes you think they're going to be slower or smaller in the nfl?  it dosen't matter who's protecting you.  someone's coming through, and t.c.'s going to get forced into some bad decisions.

how do these stanford quarterbacks get so much love anyways?  if they're mediocre on geme days, when else do the scouts see them shine?  a few years back, i watched and wondered what the Redskins were thinking when the drafted todd husak.

I think the pros tend to like QB's from schools with high addmision standards.  Decision making is everything for a QB on the next lvl and they like to see a guy who is almost guaranteed to be smart enough to learn.

Size and a good arm will only get you so far.  Eventually you have to be smarter than the defense and you are more likely to have that in a Stanford type of guy.

They make good late round choices for teams who have run out their board.
