OT: NFL Talk, V. Young and Tebow cut
#15
I think there's even more of a difference between NFL and college football than other sports with overt jumps like basketball. NFL players are just so much faster, and defenses are so much better coached that you see how even a great college QB gets overwhelmed.

I lived during the Mike White era at Illinois. He was amazing at coaching his college QBs into quality NFL prospects (was a poor overall college coach, but that's a discussion for another time). I've never seen the like - in my 9 years in Urbana, IL, I think IL produced 5 legitimate starting NFL quarterbacks (Wilson, Eason, Trudeau, George all come to mind, I'm sure there's another). Tebow would not have cut it with Mike White at IL - he wouldn't have been offered a scholarship due to his poor mechanics. I don't think IL has produced any since.
