My three points on the subject> Are the SAT/ACT standards higher at U-M than OSU? Did Tressul's track record outshine Rodriguez's? and finally did he do a history check on the Michigan QB's who made it to the NFL compared to the OSU QB's

M
Tom Brady >3 time super bowl champion &
Brian Griese >National Champion
Elvis Grebec
Todd Collins
Jim Harbaugh
John Navarre
not to mention all of the RB & DB if he gets relegated to that position

OSU
Art Schlicter
bobby Hoying
Joe Germiane
Troy Smith

None of these guys had a significant impact in the NFL other than Art's gambling issues
I think the # of qb's sent to the NFL by each team doesn't hold water for several reasons. The first reason is the coaching staffs are totally different so its like comparing apples to oranges. The second is Pryor's talent has nothing to do with any of those other guys. There is no way of predicting Pryor's ability compared to the others. My personal opinion is he doesn't seem to fit the NFL qb mold, so I won't be shocked if he tears up the college scene and flops on the NFL scene. Unless he is a much better passer than I think he is. Plus its kind of silly to even be talking about his NFL chances when he hasn't even proven he is good enough to excel in college. Although I like his chances.
