Eli played for a bad school because it's the school his father attended. Once again, less than average coaching coupled with weak talent made him appear "worse" than he was, even though he absolutely deserved to be the #1 overall pick.
As far as this class is concerned, I've seen very good and very bad from Barkley. I've only seen poor games from Smith. I saw an Arkansas game or two in 2011 in which Wilson was money, then saw him in 2012 when he wasn't even close.
I believe this is why the talking heads haven't pinpointed a single guy from this class: None of them really pass the casual eye test.
Hopefully, The Combine will provide answers.

Yeah and I mean lets be honest, how many QB's are there that can win big in the NFL without significant talent around them? 3?
Guys like Eli, Ryan, Rivers, etc. all have pretty great talent around them.
Seems its not just the QB, but alot of it is just situation. All things have to be right. The QB obviously has to be talented, but it has to be the right system for him, he has to have the right coaching (which we seem to have). It's just a multitude of things.
