Texas players have had the reputation amongst football people as being extremely athletic but poorly coached in the fundamentals.
This cannot be argued.
The overwhelming majority of Texas players taken in the first two rounds this past decade have been extremely disappointing. Many have been traded and some of those who haven't, have missed a significant amount of playing time either due to injury or being out of football, altogether.
Texas isn't USC. 90% of their players have not been even close to NFL ready. They aren't a football factory like Miami in the 80's and 90's.
Texas attracts star athletes from across their state and into Oklahoma but under Mack Brown, they've not been prepared for the NFL.
And Peyton?
Have you EVER seen Phil Fulmer coach? The guy across the street that runs VH-1 Reality TV is a better coach.
