About the Nate Davis point:
This is not something to poke fun at but he has a learning disability. This made it hard for him to learn a college playbook and I can only imagine it will be just as hard to learn a pro playbook. Will he be able to play to the level of the NFL now that talent all around him (both side of the ball) has gone up? I hope for his sake that he can, but somehow I doubt he will. He has also shown some serious bad judgement calls. The guy said he was going to stick around for his senior year and then once Brady Hoke left (for San Diego State) he bounced too. He then skipped Ball State's pro day to hold his own. The only team that came to the Nate Davis Pro Day was the Colts, who happen to be in the same state.
While Davis may have a better arm and athleticism I think Willy has more intelligence (fair or unfair) when it comes to football. Drew has shown better decision making at the tailend of his career and that is why he has a MAC title and Davis does not. It also helped that in that game UB's defense finally decided to show up. I also feel that Ball State going 12-0 in the regular season is why some people think so highly on Davis. While that is certainly an impressive feat they only beat three teams with winning records. Only Central Michigan, Western Michigan, and Navy finished .500 or better. None of their opponent were ranked.
In the end it doesn't matter much, both guys are going to be going to a training camp, one was drafted and one was not. Sure we are all jealous of Nate Davis, just like we are jealous of Drew Willy, they are getting a chance to play pro football. I hope both guys do very well at the pro level, except when they play the Bills or Giants.
