So a QB that was a backup for one season in a pro style offense at Michigan before transferring to Idaho State was NFL ready?
Is that what you are trying to tell us?
Really?

Maybe a stretch. But the point is that he was trained in a pro style offense and he played in a pro style offense. He got good coaching on mechanics, etc... at Michigan. When he walked into New England, the coaches probably didn't have to work with him that much from a mechanics standpoint.
Because the Pats showed they're not overly concerned with experience (they kept Cassel on the roster despite having no major college experience). The fact that New England cut him again just goes to show that a really good NFL team with real good personnel guys didn't think he was worth keeping around.
Let me again pose this question because I have yet to hear a good answer. If Guiterrez had any hint of an upside, then why would NE cut him for a bunch of nobodies?
