Wall,
You mean from outside of John Elway and Ken Stabler to name a few? And a very good qb in Carson Palmer (before the injury)?
By your logic, it would be suffice to say that qbs from the SEC should dominate in the pros. Not too many have either.
In short, when you look at the history of all solid to HOF qbs in the NFL, they all come from every region and conference in the nation. I submit, Dave Krieg from little known Milton College and Big Ben who played in the MAC. While big name schools like Florida and LSU have turned in few solid pro qbs.
And Cal's defense under Rodgers was way much better than Stanford's. Helping to explain why there are no standouts in the draft from Stanford. On Cal's defense, their were standouts that played in the NFL like DE Brandon Mebane, Sydquan Thompson, Zack Follett. Talent level was no where equal 6 years ago.
Rodgers playing on a pretty poor team and carried them? How about Marshawn Lynch, Justin Forsett, and Desean Jackson on that squad?

Aaron Rodgers played in that "terrible" conference as well. he turned out alright. Henry Lilly beat me to it, but I was going to point out the same regarding RGIII.
Luck IS tough and smart enough to lead a bad team. Just how that is to transpire on the NFL level is anyone's guess, but just look at Stanford outside of Andrew Luck, where is the talent? Two highly touted offensive linemen and a TE that Luck made look good and that's about it. He turned a mediocre Stanford team into a real contender.

you can say that about a lot of athletes that never turned into anything as a pro.
rg3 is a tremendous athlete. his arm for nfl accuracy is sh*t. just as said above, big 12 had no defense at all. none. next to this season, rg3's best yr was his first. very inconsistent arm during his time at baylor.
if he prays during each huddle, maybe he'll take a sh*t team and take it to .500 and a playoff victory...

Sorry, left Rodgers off the list since he didn't start right away (some Favre guy was there), but you'd have to admit he has done VERY well in the few years he has started. I only listed Locker because he got to start in his rookie year.
In regards to Luck and Stanford, he had more than "a" tight end. Look it up. He had THREE tight ends that put up, collectively, a great set of numbers. Take a look at the wideouts Stanford had. You have to emphasize the TE position. Also, not many know this. But Stanford actually RAN the ball MORE than they passed it.
When Harbaugh left, he went to the 49ers. What happened? Well, they won, but why? His tight ends were better than any of his WRs. So what got emphasized? Look at the crap the 9ers had at wideout. Watch what they draft.

This has nothing to do with white or black. It has to do with the conference they played in.
Don't be fool with RG3 numbers. Last year, he played in 5 games that the team's defense ranked the worst in the country (bottom 5%).
How about remember these guys that played in this conference that put up huge numbers and turned out to be burst.
Andre Ware - Heisman winner
David Klingler
Jason White - Heisman Winner
Kevin Kolb -soon to be bust
I am add Sam Bradford to this list soon.

Gotta disagree.........I see Luck as the only qb in this draft that IS smart enough & tough enough to carry a bad team, at least as far as a bad team can be "carried".
I've seen the kid play a lot for 3 years so I might have a better feel for what he's all about. He has "it".........the ability to see the field & feel what's around him. He makes a lot of great decisions & doesn't bail out early the way Locker did. I don't know where you got the idea he wasn't tough........can't remember him ever getting knocked out of a game.
