Translation: He is an average at best QB who won't stretch the field and take chances because he is only capable of playing within the offense and cannot create offense on his own or throw people open.

That is just flat out wrong. Senior QBs putting up video game numbers in in a BCS conference with ridiculus TD:INT ratios and 70% completion percentages don't just fall to the 2nd round because the media idiots say so and they are too stupid to stop comparing this year's QBs to Luck and RG3.

Perhaps you haven't seen this:
Matt Cassel's career stats as of today: 58% completion, 6.6 yards/pass, 173 yards/game, 82 TD to 57 INT, 160 sacks, and 24 40+ yard plays.
Alex Smith's career stats as of today: 59% completion, 6.6 yards/pass, 178 yards/game, 81 TD to 63 INT, 196 sacks, and 33 40+ yard plays.
