re: Puglisi is better than Raiola

A related point I saw Uncle Lou make the other day, he went back through 247 QB rankings over the last several years in sort of a "where are they now?" segment. It was pretty eye opening. Beck was the 19th QB in his class. When you look at the 18 QB's ranked ahead of him, only two other guys ended up having quality careers. CJ Stroud and Bryce Young. Most of the other QB's on the list you've never heard of and never will hear of again. The point being- just because Raiola is #2 and Puglisi is #9 doesn't really mean shite, statistically. Of course, in the grand scheme, 5 stars tend to do better than 4 stars, and on down the line. But the individual player ranking is not very relevant.

A perfect illustration of that was the year Stafford came to UGA, there was a little handwringing that Arkansas got the #1 QB Mitch Mustain, who never really became anything and probably cost Nutt his job at Arky. Stafford was the #1 overall pick, a SB champ and is probably borderline HOF at this point.
