Citizens of TSW - a question. Do you believe that it's useful to assign prototypes to NFL prospects, or are the nuances of each player simply too variable?
What prompts this question is Matt Barkley. From the little I've seen, he doesn't light the world on fire in any category and I don't think that I want him as the Bills' next QB. However, the logic around here is that we don't want him because he's a USC QB and the likes of Sanchez and Leinart haven't impressed.
Granted, there are going to be similarities to players that were recruited by the same college coach. But other than that, does the argument "USC quarterbacks are disappointments" hold any water? Or is it hokum?
