Can't see Browns, Saints or Colts being that bad.  Maybe at worst around .500

    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

Arizona should have 1 as nick foles went to Arizona. 

I should have clarified that it's not the full list. There's about 20 more schools on the list with 1 player drafted but it would have been too small to read it and I was too lazy to take more than 1 screen shot.

I updated it with this past draft class and here's the full list.

Would be cool to try naming all the players drafted from the school (without looking it up). There’s some i would be stumped on like uconn. I think that was Greg Lloyd but I’m not positive.

A study came out about 10 years ago (don't remember the name of it) that showed that taking players from the top programs in RDs1-2 was generally fine, but taking players from those programs in RDs4+ was bad process. Essentially, you're scouted a lot by every team if you play at Alabama, Ohio St, Notre Dame, etc. So if every single team passes on you in the first three rounds, there's something fundamentally bad about you. 

It makes complete sense.  First reason is the scouting, as you said.  Second reason is the resources and coaching they are getting from a pro-style lifestyle, not just a "pro-style offense."  Much easier for someone from C-USA to have explosive talent that missed the first scouting pass and to make a leap once they get NFL quality coaching and training.

You would be correct. Here's my pointless sheet I make charts in- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lqVxWvd625upUV9whAndM3tPKNXLvuIUf3JIczSeHvs/edit?usp=sharing There's a college drafted tab that has the data I posted.

Is that true? I would think smaller schools would have a higher variability in bust rate but a lower overall level.  

That's based off nothing but what it looks like around the league, I think it's called availability bias or whatever. That's what it seems like to me, if you mostly draft from like the pac 12 you're probably going to have more busts than if you drafted mostly from the SEC. 

Obviously great players can come from any school, but how many great players have come from Miami (OH) compared to the U? Extreme example but that's kinda what I'm getting at.

Crawfish suck.  Yeah, I said it.

I think they taste great but it's a lot of work and a lot of mess for almost no meat, even on the hefty ones

Are there plenty?  Off the top of my head for active top QBs I can't really think of any except maybe Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson.

I would consider Wyoming, North Carolina, BYU, Boston College,  Hawaii,  North Dakota State, North Dakota State, Fresno State, Duke, 

Small football colleges.. 

But I cant think of any off the top of my head either. 

You know you are a ishy troll poster when bacarty owns you this bad.

Who are the QB's? Josh Allen from Wyoming is one.  Matt Ryan for Boston College but he's always been a bit overrated. Wentz isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for Noth Dakota State. 

Who are the other QBs? 

1 hour ago, Utebird said:

Well there really aren't plenty of teams with top qbs either so maybe take the top 10. 

 Rodgers, Herbert, Carr, josh Allen...

 

Rodgers went to Cal, that's not a small school.  Same thing with Herbert going to Oregon.

Watson likely won't be playing this season.  Browns will be bad.

Saints have a tough schedule, no QB and they lost one of the all time great HCs. 

Colts also have a tough schedule and I'm just not that high on Matt Ryan.  I think this ends up being the last year of Frank Reich in Indianapolis with a season from hell incoming.

Atlanta is gonna be horrendous.  I also whooped Damiere Byrd's arse in beer pong on Saturday night multiple times so he will already begin his mandatory OTA's lacking any confidence whatsoever.

If he was the orange man he was the best, nobody's ever done a better job, and people who never even saw him play tell him he was the greatest and most successful of all-time.

I feel the QB's with less talent around them become better players. 

I watched Trevor Lawrence go 5-6 for 186 yards, 2 touchdowns and he didnt throw the ball past the LOS

which is also why i have a man crush on Carson strong

I agree with you here for the most part.  If a QB is wildly successful at Alabama, you still have almost no idea whether they are NFL good.  But if a QB leads, say, a Miami of Ohio, Louisville, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State or Arizona to sustained success, that's probably a sign they are actually really good.
