what do you mean when you say players have raw talent?
ckparrothead said:There's two sides to that coin. He has experienced enough defeat in college and experienced the bad coaching enough that he might be quicker to buy into an NFL coach's programme than a guy with a distinguished track record like Brady Quinn and Matt Leinart.
I mean, Leinart has experienced success for 3 years in the system set up by Norm Chow (who is now an NFL offensive coordinator), so who is to say he doesn't step into a different situation and start immediately questioning whether or not they are doing things right wherever he is? I mean where he goes is liable to be a BAD team, right? And Leinart could say that he came from a system that is being run by an NFL team right now. Brady Quinn could say the same thing I mean he comes from the system of three time Super Bowl OC Charlie Weis. What if he goes to a team that has a system telling him to do things differently from what Weis told him? Will he buy in right away? Or will it take a year or two before he buys in?
Cutler could be eager to learn a "real" system and way of doing things, and he's got all the talent to make it work right away...and plus if Saban ever gets control of Scott Linehan (which it appears he's making headway, based on the Cleveland game plan of running the ball) then we could have the kind of ridiculously successful ground game that Orton and Roethlesberger had/have that takes the pressure off them. I'm not saying it's LIKELY. I'm saying anything could happen. If you look at the two guys who have had the most success recently as rookie QB's, Roethlesberger was supposed to be the most "raw" among he, Manning, and Rivers, while Kyle Orton had that really rough bad experience his senior year. Arguably, they both might have been a bit more "ready" than their counterparts to learn the pro way of doing things.

Eric-Honduras said:Senior QB.. captain 3 years in a row.
Against Florida... down 24 points in the 4th Quarter.... drives his team and throws 3 TDs in 4th quarter.bringing the game to overtime.
best QB in SEC...
by no means raw...
death7star said:go with leinart or quinn.
Nicky Napoleon said:I agree with you Ck, with good coaching he could buy in very fast and be a great player very early. But I think the coaching he has gotten (along with the talent around him) at Vandy has hindered his progression as a QB. So its more of a stretch for him as opposed to Kyle Orton who played at a top school.
Nicky Napoleon said:He also tends to force throws, throw either flat footed or off the back foot, and floats alot of passes. He is still raw and you can blame it on coaching.

ckparrothead said:Hmm, that's the first I've really seen Purdue's coaching to be considered a strength for a QB. Orton had a tough time at Purdue too, actually got benched his senior year at one point.
It could really go both ways, to be honest. The guys with the best track records and greatest coaching aren't necessarily the guys that adapt the quickest to the NFL. On the other hand, you probably could say that the guys who buy into the coaching are the quickest to adapt to the NFL...it's just a matter of whether you want to connect the dots as to whether or not Cutler's background at Vandy makes him more or less ready to truly buy into the pro way of doing things.

"Raw" Size..speed..strength... and sometimes instincts IE armstrength would be consdired a RAW talent.... ability to throw accuratly is not in the "RAW" category.miamikid92 said:anyone?
he's been an option QB the first 3 years of his college career. you can TELL he's raw by his mechanics and footwork and his gunslinger mentality. brett favre was the same way (sans the option part) in college. favre didn't even know what a zone defense was till he got to the NFL. i'm sure cutler is aware, but he's VERY raw as a pro QB prospectEric-Honduras said:Senior QB.. captain 3 years in a row.
