Clearly, no one in the SEC qualifies, which is why Georgia was going to have so much trouble with Boise State.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365733949431139562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-1139534920275636172006-02-09T20:28:00.000-05:002006-02-09T20:28:00.000-05:00Could you please outline the differences between a...Could you please outline the differences between a PAC-10 offense and an SEC offense. Then explain what makes an offense "sophisticated." After defining "sophisticated" apply your logic and identify which teams from each conference run a "sophisticated" offense and support your argument. Also, briefly describe your football experience and knowledge.

You me...I think Cutler is a pretty solid prospect. You mention that he had less impressive stats than Tim Couch. This strikes me as a very gang of six-ish rating of a QB. If stats were everything, wouldn't David Klingler, Tim Crouch, Andre Ware and the past few Texas Tech QBs be very successful pro QBs? Why is it that Cal in general and Ted Tedford in particular is renowned for producing great college QBs who simply do not have success at the NFL level?<BR/><BR/>My guess is that Cutler has some other quality that is often cited in regards to QBs who don't put up the best stats. Call it leadership or perhaps call it an ability to manage the offense. The QB with the best stats doesn't always end up being the most successful. I haven't seen enough of Cutler's games to offer up my own opinion, but based on the comments of people like Mort I do think he could do pretty well as an NFL player.<BR/><BR/>-Victors_DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-1138392553537722452006-01-27T15:09:00.000-05:002006-01-27T15:09:00.000-05:00I actually kinda like Jake Plummer.

He does make his share of mistakes, but he also got Denver to the AFC Title Game, which is no small feat. He didn't play well in the title game, but Denver had no running game and they also had protection issues. I'd put him in the upper half of NFL starters.<BR/><BR/>Mort sure can identify with Southern white guys. G-d help me if a short, red-headed Jewish guy ever becomes a prominent college QB. That said, Mort isn't the only one hyping Cutler.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365733949431139562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-1138390614306022662006-01-27T14:36:00.000-05:002006-01-27T14:36:00.000-05:00I don't even see him as a first round pick.
