I think the difference between being a quarterback in college and being one in the NFL is like the difference between trying to hit a 60 MPH fastball versus a 100 MPH fastball.

In college, you may have to face at the most, 2 or 3 NFL quality defensive players, there is a much bigger margin for error, that can cover up deficiencies, and allow even QBs with those deficiencies to put up great numbers in college.

But it will catch up with you in the NFL.

I remember when John Rocker was trying to make a comeback. The velocity on his fastball in miles per hour went from high 90's to low 90's. That was just enough to end his career as a high end major league closer.
