Many of the top NFL QBs come from programs with pro style offenses where the team isn't surrounded with the greatest personnel so they have to play from behind quite a bit - Vanderbilt, Purdue, Stanford, Duke, etc. That's an old standard, though. Times are changing. Every school has pressure to win not just be competitive.

Well even in historical terms the percentage of QB's who were great in College but couldn't make it in the NFL is very small. Look at a program like Alabama that runs a traditional offense. Who was the last great NFL QB they produced? Namath? Stabler?

It's amazing how there are so many QB's who were excellent in college but can not transition to the NFL.

Mettenburger made a pretty good throw.

Bell's a damn good running back

Since 1975 the Kansas City Chiefs have played an 0-10 team three times.

They lost all three games.

Go Raiders! Yeah, I said it.

Rich Eisen just tweeted the last time KC played an 0-10 team was 1984 when they played Warren Moon and the Houston Oilers.

That game was Moon's first ever NFL win.

I'm learning stats from you guys. I'm trying to get better at being more open minded about stats and not just the eye test

That's a great idea b/c the stats I'm providing indicate KC cannot beat an 0-10 team.
