Every scout has a flaw.Baseball scouts rely too heavily on radar guns. Football scouts rely to much on 40 times and 225 bench press reps. When it comes to evaluating future NFL quarterbacks, height and arm strength are the top two.
That's why they don't project West Virginia's Pat White as a pro quarterback. Then he apparently had a poor week of practice for the Senior Bowl. So what did he do in the game? Just took MVP honors and showed off a very strong and accurate arm.
Why can't the scouts look at his strengths? He's mobile. He's athletic. He's a winner. I know he's not Peyton Manning. But I'd bet he's a better pro than Vince Young or JaMarcus Russell.
So give me Pat White as my third stringer for a year and I'll bet he's No. 2 by Year 2. He'll be an outstanding back up and potentially a solid starter in the NFL. He's a new-breed Kordell Stewart. He just needs an opportunity.

c'mon, Pat White is not going to play QB in the NFL. he'll get snapped in half.
the kid needs to play WR and then use him at QB in the Wildcat.
