Message: [QUOTE="Pyle, post: 880499, member: 137"] Manziel and Winston both redshirted before winning the Heisman. All of the things you mention, are better at the D1 level than they are at HS. Nutrition, training, coaches, etc are all better at the D1 level. How do you figure that a guy fresh out of HS is going to be better than someone with access to the better stuff for years? HS players may be more advanced coming out of HS, but so are the guys coming out of college. It used to be unheard of for a first year QB to see the playing field in the NFL. If you drafted a QB, he sat for at least 1 year. It wasn't even debated. In the last 5 years, almost every QB drafted in the first round has seen the field his first year. [/QUOTE]
