Fair question but remember that I included a big 'if" in my post. "[COLOR=#000000]If we continue with good QB play with the group we have now, our new offense will attract a lot of play makers..."[/COLOR]
 
I agree, one isolated first or second rounder alone will do little. However, combine that with the new offense and success with our next QB and the program will get the visibility that gets us into the conversation will more and more talented players. There is a real opportunity to catch lightening in a bottle.
 
The new offense, which is fun to watch, is probably even more fun to play. An ascending program with a system that is fun to play, has good reputable coaches and that puts players into the NFL will IMO raise the level of talent attracted to the program. These guys can coach so I have confidence that as talent, depth and experience improves they will get us back to the top 25.
 
Certainly, a lot depends on the staff's ability to sell the program - it won't sell itself. The first day of class in Marketing 101 at SU the prof wrote on the board (blackboard back then), "If you build a better mousetrap will the world beat a path to your door?" No!! The staff has to sell their success with players like Chandler and Ryan, which are great stories and something we have not been able to say for quite some time. I'd love to be able to sell those stories.
 
Any good pub will help sell the story and a story like Ryan would certainly help get the word out. I like our chances.
