What point are you trying to make? School size doesnt matter to me just like a guys height doesnt matter to me.
For every small school name you come up with I can give you 10 more from a big school. It doesnt matter. What does matter is what you do in those small schools.
Derek Carr is from Fresno, not a powerhouse. But he mangles his competition. That matters. If you are in a small school, you need to perform above your schools competition. Bortles doesnt. Garoppolo doesnt. Jordan Lynch as a pocket passer doesnt (he does as a scrambler though, but hes not being drafted as a RB)
A guy who performs OK vs OK schools is not going to be an OK QB at the NFL level.
If a QB isnt worth taking in the 1st 2 rounds, then he isnt worth taking in the next 5 because theres no value in drafting a backup.
So you have a clue as to what you are talking about?
