My fat ass could throw the ball behind the Sooners offensive line. Matthew Stafford played behind an injury riddled and depth challenged offensive line his entire career. I would love to see any of those QBs, ANY OF THEM play behind Georgia's glass made O-line. How many Heisman Trophy Winners in the last 20 years have done anything in the NFL? The Heisman doesn't even matter anymore. Let me ask you something in 1982 Herschel Walker beat out John Elway for the Heisman Trophy. Who had the better pro career? See, it doesn't matter. In 91 Garrison Hearst and Marshal Faulk(both multiple Pro Bowlers) finished 3rd and 2nd to Miami's Gino Torreta. You could go on forever with this list. Only two Heisman winners, Carson Palmer and Charles Woodson, have made a decent career for the themselves. The Heisman Trophy does not mean anything. You might be right he could be a total bust in the pros. I disagree but it really doesn't matter. Besides the combine isn't even about how well does in the Pros, its about where he gets drafted. JaMarcus Russell didn't throw at the combine and he still was drafted number 1. Brady Quinn didn't beat a single team worth a crap his entire college career. His greatest victory was a comeback victory against Michigan State. Losing to SC on national TV is not the same as beating them. By the way I was not insulting Schwartz I was more trying to insult the Atlanta paper which sucks on a regular basis for going out their way to trash our QB by quoting Schwartz. Schwartz just gave the typical coach speak quote. I mean come on, what else is supposed to say to that question. If he acts like he doesn't care or tips his hand the agents of Stafford or Sanchez will make him pay more. This past year in Atlanta, I saw first hand Matt Ryan win 10 games behind an offensive line(and the entire team for that matter) that was described by SI's Peter King as the worst in the NFL eight months prior. I would gladly trade Roddy White for Calvin Johnson any day of the week. They got a pick winner eventually.
