Does anyone think that Graham Harrell will have a good shot in NFL if he goes?

I know it won't be for a while but could he be one of the great quarterbacks?

I dont think so, I hate to say it but he is a system QB. He has a spread 5 WR every play and that just cant work in the NFL. And the same with Crabtree, Unless both improve greatly, then i dont think they will be good in the NFL.

For example ill compare crabtree to larry fitzgerald when he was a freshman. Crabtree wasnt as dominate and wasnt as good of a route runner as Fitz was. Fitz was so good i remember a team putting 3 people on him. But i do have to admit that crabtree has good hands, but on the comparison, Fitzgerald was far more advanced and was a way better reciever than Crabtree is now.

As for Graham Harrell, The statistics show that he is a goodcollegeQB. But i mean he throws like 700 passes to do so (not sure if exact). when was the last QB to come out of T Tech and be a straight stud? I just think the system of that team will never put out a great QB.

nope graham harrell is the product of a system. where are all of the other TT qbs before him? where are all of the UF qbs who played in the Spurrier system? Where is Timmie Chang? Harrell is a cookie cutter like the rest of them. Like Colt Brennan.
No, Timmy Chang was the same type of player and he's in the CFL !!
The system tag is weird. I don't understand it. Is Ricky Williams a system rb because his school ran so much?

The problem with Tech and NFL qb success is that NFL-prototype quarterbacks have not been recruited to Texas Tech at this time. Size, speed, arm strength are what the NFL looks at first; pretty much you can tell a player who has a good chance of making it in the NFL before they ever even go to college.

What Tech does is give a kid who doesn't have the physical aspects enough training and practice and smarts, that the NFL WILL often take a chance on them.

Kliff Kingsbury hung around quite a while in the NFL. He was a three year starter in the Tech system. He was undersized and had less arm strength than the prototype NFL qb.

BJ Symons was undersized for the NFL, but was drafted. Injuries were his biggest problem in the NFL. BJ only had one year of truecollegeexperience.

Sonny Cumbie has size and a pretty good arm. Supposedly he's FREAKISHLY immobile, which is why he hasn't passed NFL muster. Again, he only had one year ofcollegeexperience.

Cody Hodges was way undersized for the NFL but was picked up as a free agent. Despite his size, the NFL gave him a look because of the Tech system. Again, only one year ofcollegeexperience.

Graham Harrell? He's still growing, but perhaps on the shorter side of acceptable height for the NFL. Harrell can make all the throws. He will have three years ofcollegeexperience, but due to physical limitations will need to get lucky and get the right situation for him to learn and mature.

Behind Harrell is Taylor Potts, a qb with prototype NFL size, speed and a big arm. If he is able to excel in the Tech system (not a sure thing right now) then he will be the first Tech qb that passes the NFL eye test AND has the training and smarts that playing for Tech provides.
i laugh at people who scream 'system qb' its really become cliche. EVERY successful QB is a SYSTEM QB. joe montana was the king of system QB's. troy aikman was a system QB. tom brady now is a system QB.

its hard to say with harrell the main element mostcollegeqb's lack is pin point accuracy. incollegea lot of mistake throws are still caught the level of db play is sooo far behind the nfl level db's. mostcollegeqbs complete about 7-10 passes at that level that would be defended or ints at the pro level. also the speed of the rush is so much faster the qb must make very fast decisions look at the sugar bowl colt brennan faced his first nfl level speed rushers and he got lit up like a pinball machine and had his worst game. he was not used to having to get rid of the ball as fast
