Hoodie was probably referring to Matt Cassel there...he's a fairly noteworthy exclusion.
That he is. I'd say next to Carson Palmer, he's neck and neck with Mark Sanchez for the best USC quarterback in the league. Not that that's saying much.
I think that Carson Palmer is legit and a successful player. He has had ups and downs, but there was a time that he was considered among the league's best QBs. But the others, sure -- mostly disappointments. And yes, while you could take other schools and find similar results, you will be hard pressed to find other schools that have a reputation for sending so many high-level prospects at QB to the NFL.
I think that the jury is still out on Sanchez. He's not playing very well, but he's still had enough success to stay in the league, starting on the same team. Perhaps he'll figure it out.
You have to wonder about what might've been had Carson Palmer not suffered that knee injury against Pittsburgh in the playoffs in 2005. As for Sanchez, coming out as early as he did was a big mistake. The Jets made a big reach for him and it's proven disastrous. He's still raw and needs time to develop.
Don't you mean Landshark?
No, he means Tommy, schmuck. Whoever that may be.
