The way the spread works basically means that guys like this have never had to read a defense or go through progressions like they will have to in the NFL.
Yeah but Locker is a good college QB because of his speed and athleticism. Those things do not have as big an impact on a QBs NFL success as his ability to throw a pass, which Locker isn't that great at.

I can make a list of college QBs running who sucked in the NFL all day, but the bigger issue here is that I can't make a list of too many good running QBs in the NFL.

Bradford has more upside because he least he plays in a passing offense and guys like him have had success at the pro level.
