No, what I said is that his lack of adversity could limit his growth. Playing on a team that is loaded with talent is great in college, but I'm not at all convinced it's a great environment for a college QB. He hasn't had any adversity in his playing career, and no matter who he goes to next year, he's going to have a ton of adversity. Is he prepared for that?

This makes no sense. Are you implying that good QB's who play for shitty teams are ready-made for the NFL? If so, why did it take Eli Manning nearly four full seasons before the game began to click for him?
I'm sorry but this is a completely illogical viewpoint.

No it's not. Physical talent being equal, a QB that has not faced adversity and has great players around him that help him win will be less prepared for the NFL than a QB that had the burden of being "the man" on his team and his team's only hope to win.
The latter player was not insulated in a comfortable environment, and should be more capable of handling the obvious adversity new QBs in the NFL face.
