Case for Cox

I'd rather have cox than Stafford. Forget the nubmer one draft pick. History backs this up. The majority of succesful college football teams do not have an nfl star guy at QB. College is not as fine tuned as the NFL and QB serves a very different purpose in the college game. Its easy to point to guys like David Greene and Shockley as examples. What about Pat White, Ken Dorsey, Krenzel, Mauck, and Wuerffel. QB's in college are not as important. Sure a bad QB can kill a team (see:reggie ball), but a fantastic one cannot take you all the way (see: manning). Heart wins in college. With the QB being less important, it makes everyone else on the field much more importnat. What about the 5 nameless guys on the o-line??? extremely important. I'd rather have a 5 solid trenchmen than a star qb (see: 2008 season). Thats why i'm extremely optimistic about this '09 campaign where we are solid up front on both sides of the ball, deep at RB and receiver, and improved in the secondary. Let's not forget also that some think in terms of talent Cox was better in some areas than Stafford. If he can hit guys in stride this year it would be huge. I'll take Cox any season.
