What's stupid is you can't tell how there's a clear difference between those situations.
Your Tennessee comparison is so goddamned stupid awful I don't know what to say. Let's look at Manning, or actually let's start with Luck and see why you're completely missing the entire point. Despite being on a good team and having a great coach, Luck wasn't being questioned (much, because actually there were some murmurs, especially after that USC game where they kept handing it off with the game on the line) like that because he was a pretty complete player: good arm, athleticism, size, toughness, knowledge, smarts, plus he had pedigree. Manning was similar.
McCarron? Yeah not so much. In no way does that mean he absolutely is not a good QB or won't be one in the NFL. No one is saying he's not a great prospect solely because of his team. Its because he's just been a game manager on that team for a little while, put up middling numbers, and just has not had a big breakout. He's not even the clear leader of his team, but then its really partway through the 2nd season of him at the helm.
There are other factors, which if you bothered to read past the first sentence I wrote you might have gotten [then again the reading comprehension of people here is so ****ing terrible that I can't even give you the benefit of the doubt]. Unfortunately he just hasn't done much of anything to really warrant much hype and in fact has more questions since at this point he's actually shown less than those USC QBs did so its even more of a question. Oh, and the NFL is much more of a passing league than Alabama at this point so you have to wonder if he can even shoulder it for 30+ passes a game against better talent.
The biggest reason I don't want anything to do with him, and a point I didn't raise before, is that he is a perfect fit for Pioli's dumbass mantra and we already know how much of a total failure that is.
There is that better?
