Not necessarily. Potential can be things such as size, combine numbers, strong arm, etc. Some guys appear to be great athletes, but they lack the "it" factor. Then there is the situation one of the Cardinals coaches was stating in one of the videos, (paraphrased) "Some guys show flashes, then fall off, show flash, then fall off." It's easy to get blinded by those flashes and think that "this guy" could really be something. But often they turn out to be nothing. To play in the NFL you can't just flash now and then, you need to bring it every play.

Picking the player with more potential is exactly what you do with a guy who will never see the field in year one. Its why we pick Schofield in the draft, not because he will do anything for us in 2010 but because of his potential to do something in 2011. The #3 QB is equated to a minor league system. Just like in the minor leagues teams don't just look for game ready guys, minor league systems look for guys with potential to be something a few years down the road.
If your #3 is playing you are screwed anyways considering the #3 QB doesn't even practice during the week during the season. They are relegated to trying to mimic the other teams QB for that week, which means they are not practicing the play book or the timing with the receivers. Which is a situation that doesn't exactly lead to much success in a game no matter who the QB is.

So that explains the talk on Hall.

Hall is just a local kid that people want to get behind. Scrappy little guy scampering around among all these giants.
LOL! That could be, I started this discussion by stating that I haven't seen either player yet. I'm not backing either rookie.
If it comes to the situation that the Cardinals need to use their #3, I hear Brian St. Pierre is available...
