This is one of the most disingenuous posts on the board.
Fact Checking says, NO!
Background
Rees started as an 18 yr old freshman when the Crist went down. As a 19 yr old soph he was the same age as Clausen when he was a freshman. Golson is a 19 year old true sophomore also the same age as Clausen when he was a freshman.
Unlike Golson (or Kiel next year) all Five QBs in the last 5 years had signficant QB PT prior to becoming a Starter. ALL had considerable time in the weight room and watching film. None were in their first year of play when they became a Starter and some had been playing in a Div 1 Program for 4 years (including Redshirt) before Starting. Flynn was 23 years old his"Starting" Season. Newton was 22. McElroy and McCarron were both 21 and Tebow was 20.
