Case Keenum had a lot to learn when he entered NFL. And then he learned it. Fantastic story/rise. A little Romo-like.

@"dadevike" said: OK, but here is the list of the top ten NCAA all-time leading passers: Case Keenum Timmy Chang Landry Jones Graham Harrell Ty Detmer Kellen Moore Luke Falk Baker Mayfield Colt Brennan Rakeem Cato Certainly, "you don’t become the NCAA’s all-time leading passer by being average" in college. But that does not mean you are going to be any good in the NFL. What Case is doing this year really makes him stand out among the QBs on that list. (Of course, we cannot say how Mayfield will do in the NFL.)
Passing is so different on the college level that its top QBs in terms of production are almost always a result of the system. Production is almost irrelevant in determining who will be a good PRO and who will not. It's why you get lists like the one you posted. If you look at the college all-time WR rankings you get a similar who's who list of nobodies. Ryan Broyles, Troy Edwards, Ryan Yarborough, etc.
