Colt McCoy Will Be A Great Pro

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- There are three top quarterbacks left in the bowl season and only one of them will be good on the next level.

It's now Tim Tebow. Great guy, poor mechanics. In fact, his mechanics are among the worst I've ever seen on a big-time college player.

It's not Sam Bradford. He's a product of a brilliant system. He's so system his middle name should be Microsoft.

It's neither of those two. The player who will be the best in the pros is Colt McCoy.

Not to say that McCoy's perfect. He's not and sure he's playing in a pretty good system, too. He's still the most well-rounded of the three, the best combination of athlete, mobility and pure thrower. Yes, a better pure thrower than Bradford even.

Just my opinion.

The biggest reason I like McCoy's chances in the NFL: his accuracy. He's completed 77.6 percent of his passes against Bradford's 68.3 and Tebow's 64.9. There's a chance McCoy could break the single season NCAA completion record. Accuracy is the big difference maker on the next level.

Unless Tebow dramatically improves his ultra-slow delivery he won't stand a chance in the pros. He's an Ed Reed interception waiting to happen.

It's too bad the Ravens already have a good pass thrower and they aren't still named the Colts. Colt the Colt would've been perfect.

You know who else had a great college throwing percentage? I'll give you a hint, he went to Texas too, and he's right where Colt is going to end up in the pros, the bench.

Yep, Vince Young. He's not a good pro quarterback, and I don't think McCoy will ever be anything than a backup in the pros.

LMAO at "Colt the Colt".

In all seriousness, I hope he does very well whenever he enters the NFL draft.

God bless Colt!

I disagree about McCoy being a better pro than Bradford. However I do think Bradford is being a little overhyped. In terms of NFL potential Stafford is the man to beat, right now I'd say he goes first overall.
