I don't give a crap who is the best, as long as the best is our starter. Personality wise though, I like Dayne. But personality doesn't win games now, does it?

I thought his parents only held him back one year. Which is something that a lot of parents seem to do. It's becomeing a lot more common than you would think.

Don't be mistaken, amigo. I'm not arguing the QB point, and am quite pleased that both QBs are ours.

The friend that possesses all these tapes and studies film is far more astute than I at evaluating them. He (I believe) is paid for services of this type, and is constantly in contact with at least two universities (at two different levels). What I know about deciphering attributes, I learned from him.

Lastly, different players of a given position, in different years, receive different rankings because there is not always a level playing field (no pun intended) from year to year.

My great wonderment is why Crist ever chose ND (football-wise) when he could start for three or four years at many other universities. But I'm most pleased he did.

Amen, brother!

But does he eat lunch with Lou Holtz?

Clearly, I am not a Crist follower. Nor am I a Clausen follower. I am most pleased they are both ours.

Just passing along conclusions reached by the owner of the tapes who is far more astute than I in "critical evals" of QBs that he passes on to others who use the data. I learned much from him, and my comments are shared by him. No big deal, though, because we will see what actually transpires as time progresses.

As I stated in another post, my surprise is that Crist chose ND due to the plethora of QBs "ahead" of him. He could easily be a three or four year starter at many universities. It must be the academics, I guess, and that is no small thing, unless he gets totally lost behind the others, and only plays for one year......that would not get him much visibility nor much of a contract in the NFL.

Time will tell all.

True, but, I believe that Southern Cal had a backup who rarely played, get drafted by a NFL team. As far as I know, he made the roster and still employed by that team. Even with one year in College, if you're good enough, that's all it will take. It will be fun and interesting to see how things progress!

And wasn't Leinart going to go near the top of the draft after only one year as a starter?
