| Re: Does a QBs college affect his play late in the season? I think it affects them in the early on or if say they are drafted to another warm weather team, but as the years go on.. if they're drafted to a bad weather franchise they should learn to adapt. Look at Brett Favre. Maybe he wasn't always a great bad weather QB, I have no idea, but he's obviously one of the best there is these days. Garrard seems to be able to handle it.. Rex Grossman's play doesn;t seem affected, he's about the same (very average) wherever he plays.
Adaptation is all part of being a QB. Now obviously.. asking a guy like Michael Vick to run a west coast timing offense wasn't a smart idea.. and asking Peyton Manning to run a QB draw would be pretty insane, and asking Alex Smith to learn 4 different offenses in his first four years in the league is a little much.. but things like cold weather a QB should be able to learn to handle. |
