SEC competition is way overblown...
Well... he does have a point. I thought about this on Saturday while watching Mizzou spank Florida.
Everyone who parades the SEC always tells fans if (insert school) played in the SEC they wouldn't win 5 games. Mizzou and A&M made a pretty smooth transition IMO.
SEC is the best conference but its not THAT good that a QB should get the benefit of the doubt. Chris Leak, Tebow, Cam, McElway have all won titles.. it means little at the next level. I'm more impressed by the play in the trenches in the SEC.
I couldn't agree more, even though I've debated both sides of this argument just to try and keep discussion going. There are some facts (IMO) that you just have to accept:
You don't trade away a proven winner at quarterback and, in particular, for an unproven commodity. As you see, even the young guns that are going to be good are terribly inconsistent.
Ben is not changing the way he plays, fans need to accept this more than anything
Ben will make you say, "WTF are you doing?" and "Holy crap that was unbelievable", all on the same play

you've been saying it for years Pap... I jumped on that wagon a few years ago and I'm going to ride it until the wheels fall off.
smh at trading Ben for some draft picks at this point in his career... we waited 20 years for this and Dub wants to trade him for an unknown while Ben is still in his prime? LOL..
