Besides, who cares what happens with him in the pros (chances are he won't get the chance). I for one only care about his potential at ND. I think that potential is obvious.

I agree that the only thing that matters is how they produce at Notre Dame.

Look at Troy Smith, he won the Heisman while he was at Ohio State and had a pretty good college career, completing 63% of his passes for a little under 6,000 yards along with 54 tds and 13 interceptions. All of this while playing in more of a pro style offense. The advantage that Everett would have is that he is playing in a spread offense vs. the pro style. This allows him to see the field more clearly and gives him more time to throw.
Another quarterback that was the same class as Troy Smith and was listed at 6'3" and is also a back up in the NFL like Troy Smith, our very own Brady Quinn.

sketchy an irish fan insinuating troy smith was better then the mighty quinn how do you sleep at night.....haha

Haha I was not going after you or saying that Troy Smith is better than Brady Quinn. I was just stating my opinion as to why I want to see Everett on Notre Dame and given a chance at quarterback. Whether or not a quarterback makes it in the NFL is contingent on a lot more than his height, I for one believe Brady was never given the proper opportunity in the NFL, and that he got unlucky the two years he performed well enough for heisman consideration.
