one of you nerds pull up the thread

does anyone remember when I called this before he was a starter?

Elite is definitely excessive at this point in his career, but so is taking the results of a few justifiably ruff weeks over his complete resume to pass judgment on his abilities.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/shutdown-corner/greg-cosell-s-film-review--seattle-and-its-deceptive-college-based-offense-211356185.html I would definitely read his full article on it before making any assumptions about how quality of QB play factors into this "college based" offense.

I watched him play quite a bit at STATE and was conflicted when he left for Wisconsin. I love the Wolfpack but also knew that the team was holding him back. He had that it-factor and poise and would continually put the team on his shoulders to win/stay in games. When he transferred and immediately started dominating Big Ten football it was a huge indicator that he was legit. When he immediately started challenging for a starting spot on the Seahawks it was like de ja vu. Very talented and intelligent athlete with outstanding character.

I wish I knew how to go back and find old posts/threads, but I always thought his most telling indicator for future performance was his ability to make the leap from the ACC to the Big Ten (when ACC football was a joke [still is in my opinion]) and break records at both NCSTATE and Wisconsin.
