Any QB that wants to prepare himself for the NFL and possibly be a #1 pick should probably cross off every team that runs the spread.

But the complete aversion to any and all QBs coming from a spread offense is ridiculous. You have to evaluate the merits of the individual player. Good rule of thumb, initially, but then you have to breakdown the specifics. Regarding your last post, how long did it take Roethlisberger? Because we're talking about a more athletic, more gifted version of Big Ben when discussing Gabbert. |

This is also because the NFL is turning into a spread league also. It usually works pretty well. |

I actually think the big schools going to the spread may pump up the draft value of players playing for small schools like Flacco. |

Like I said, I think Gabbert will transition pretty quickly and efficiently, but if there's growing pains, fine. The upside is too great. And, yeah, I think using the exception when talking about Gabbert is justifiable because the dude is a freakish prospect. A couple days ago, Hamas said he'd spend the #5 overall pick this year for the right to have Gabbert next year, and I agree completely. Kid is going to be special. |

He's the exception to the rule. He's Ben Roethlisberger in this case.
