Alot of these guys can't and won't admit that they're fallible. Especially the guys that are gifted to the point that they don't have to work very hard if they don't want to. Stafford did alot of things at Georgia to make me question whether or not he's going to be one of those guys.
He's in a very similar position to what Cutler was and we're seeing that play out now. He does need to mature a bit more, the big question is "can he?"

Absolutely. When I was saying he's smart, I was meaning football smart. He blew people away with his board work. The kid knows football and seems to be very coachable. If you have the right coach in place, he should be able to mature rapidly.
To me, if you pick Stafford, the worst you'll get is a Farve type that throws lots of INT's but can carry his team to win the game regardless. I also believe he will grow out of the INT problems early and will be a top 5 QB in the league for years.
