Interesting read about Pat White - with many "expert opinions" included in it. Talks about the possibilities of White as a fulltime QB and as a wildcat QB. also gives us proof that White wasnt really a reach a pick 44 and likely would have been gone by pick 56.

Also interesting that many agree it was White who was the most impressive QB working out at the Combine - and Sanchez and Freeman both worked out there.Outside of his height and the "spread" system that he played in at West Virginia, White has all the other factors you look for in a starting quarterback. The two key stats, according to many, in attempting to predict a college quarterback's NFL success are games started and completion percentage. Well White started 42 games at the collegiate level (with a 34-8 record), has the 6th most career victories in NCAA history by a starting quarterback, was 4-0 in bowl games (2 of them being BCS bowl games), and has a career completion percentage of 64.8%.
So what about his physical abilities as a quarterback? While many want to knock them, all I keep hearing and reading is how physically talented White is as a quarterback.
When White was selected by the Dolphins on Saturday, the NFL Network's Mike Mayock said, "I love this pick. If you're betting against this kidbeing a full-time quarterback - don't. He's got a big arm; more accurate than I thought he was."
