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.
