Eric Crouch wasn't a a double-threat - he was strictly a running QB. Reggie McNeal, I personally think he should have been given a shot to play QB in the NFL. And Smith, he just isn't good enough to play QB in the NFL. All the guys you listed just weren't good enough to play QB in the NFL, its not becuase they came out of the spread. It is kinda hard to say the spread can't produce prospects when the first QBs drafted in the last 2 drafts came out of it.
Last time I checked, Tavaris Jackson didn't get 15 million dollar signing bonus or a 40 million dollar contract coming out of college. Pretty sure thats why that matters to these kids going to play where they show case their talent. Nutt doesn't need to fix anything, but what he did was a scumbag move. He brought in their HS coach and I am sure it was assumed he would be running the same offense, but now has not done it. Not saying he should, but what he did was pretty shady (I'm not the only way who feels this way, a lot of people think he only hired their coach to make sure he got the talent)
I can rattle off 150 QBs who played in "pro-style" offenses in college in the last 7 years that haven't done shit in the NFL. Plus, for the ninth time - it's not just the QB pissed off in this situation, there's a tight end and wide out as well.
