It's not bad luck, he just isn't good as a QB.

Tulsa sought out this kid after getting a long look at Sullivan this spring. He just doesn't have it.

The skinny QB who is always injured just needed to switch to TE. This might be your worst take ever.
He's listed as 6'4, 220. A frame that could easily add 20 to 30 pounds.

He's also more athletic than AJ Derby was.

George Kittle was often injured at Iowa. Doubt he makes the nfl.

Buddy, cmon. He's not a freshman. What does he have left? One year? 2? I'm not going to look. It's a month before the season. Do you think he's going to put on 20-30 lbs AND learn a completely different position well enough to contribute NEXT YEAR? Forget about this year. Plus, quarterbacks are different. It's rare to see them willing to switch positions and actually be successful, Derby notwithstanding.

Yeah I know he's not gonna put the weight on that quickly. I thought this at the end of last year.

IIRC correctly, Derby only played one year of TE in college

He's an exception.

I'm starting to have the feeling that we might actually have good QB play this year.

But that brings up a concern: if we do indeed have a good QB, will our super smart football people here be willing to give them credit?

I mean afterall, this was the place where I read Brad Banks wasn't that good
