Does College Football Have a QB Developmental Problem?

Featured Replies

No.

Interesting review in the Miami Herald of Dante Moore & the supposed "QB developmental problem in college football". What do you think of his analysis?

No.

Well, whoop. dee. doo-doo.

Tell us something the average OBD members hasn't been speculating all season.

No.

This isn't entirely new... College football is the unofficial lower league for the NFL and the NFL treats it as such. QB development doesn't really happen in the NFL anymore and instead they are looking for ready made talent.

I remember ten years ago an article complaining about how many spread QBs are in college and how that didn't mesh with what the league was looking for.

The reality is that CFB and the NFL are two different metas in terms of how the game is played. I don't think any college teams anymore have the talent to fully execute an NFL style of offense and defense because the talent required isn't condensed on any one roster. The NFL has ALL the athletic freaks from CFB and as a result the worst NFL team has more freakish athletic talent than even that 2022 Georgia team that was freaky good.

Dante Moore is not ready by NFL standards to be a starting QB unless they want to develop him but that's not realistic. The Ducks are also not an NFL roster.

It's one of the reasons why trying to predict the best NFL talent from college is so difficult and how players who seem good but not great in college may rise to NFL super stars.

Anyways... Rant over.
