I agree. Other than people around here wanting to bag on Big 12 spread quarterbacks (spread quarterbacks, receivers and linemen from other conferences that aren't BCS conferences are apparently immune to criticism though, e.g. Mike Iupati, Marshawn Gilyard, etc.), McCoy has done nothing but succeed in one of the toughest conferences in college football. A four year starter that beat out guys like Jevan Snead, who transferred to Ole Miss when he couldn't beat out McCoy for the starting spot, a three time Texas MVP and only the third two time winner of the Walter Camp Award, the 2009 winner of the Maxwell and Davey O'Brien awards. Obviously the guy sucks.
Oh, and because he's a spread quarterback from a BCS conference, Tebow is going to suck, even though his quarterback rating is the highest in college football history, has won two national championships, a Heisman, is big, fast, athletic, accurate and a natural leader. Guys like that always suck.
A little snippet from the Walter Camp Awards:
Quote:
While Tebow didn't win any awards on this night, the Florida star brought a little extra company.
Tebow brought 20-year-old Kelly Faughnan from Clifton, Va., as his "date." Just before Thanksgiving last year, Kelly was diagnosed with a brain tumor, her father Jim said. She had surgery last December.
Her wish was to go to Disney World during the awards show to get a glimpse of Tebow. The two met Wednesday night, and Tebow said he decided to bring her along to the show.
"I was really touched," Tebow said.

Some people just love guys like Ryan Leaf, Jeff George, Kyle Boller, David Klingler, Akili Smith, Andre Ware, JaMarcus Russell and the like. Guys with off the charts "potential" that justify a high first round draft choice. Team guys with leadership and instincts and intangibles like drive, determination and character need not apply, because, well, they don't have a big arm or played in a pro style set coached by a former NFL coach or offensive coordinator. Who gives a shit if they are accurate. Accuracy is completely overrated, especially at the next level when the biggest determining factor of supposed success is if you can throw a football 80 yards. Those guys are the QBOTF/Franchise type players. Dudes like Montana, Brady, Brees, Warner and the like will never make it because they have noodle arms and are a bunch of pussies. That's why no one wanted them in the first round of the draft.
Playmakers mother ****er!!!! You can get a game managing, system quarterback in the later rounds of the draft. Sure, they might be successful natural leaders, but they are game managers without an arm. You aren't going to find the QBOTF Franchise QB's like those previously mentioned anywhere but the top five.
On a side note, I wonder what his NFL teammates are going to think when Clausen pulls up to the first mini-camp in a stretch Hummer limo like he did on his first day at the Notre Dame campus.
