So are you saying because Gus chose Frazier and that hasn't turned out so well, and now Gus wants Nick you don't like his chances of success? I was merely pointing out a situation where Gus wanted someone (Cam) and it worked out great, and I am positive Gus was a part of that decision to play Cam in 2010. Which many believed was the reason we won a NC and catapulted Cam to #1 NFL pick.

I do not believe that Gus is an expert QB talent evaluator. You can tell he didn't really know what he had with Cam till midway through the season (quite frankly none of us knew just how high his talent level was either)
That said, even great coaches strike out on QB evaluations. So it is not the end of the world because Gus does have a track record of putting guys in situations to succeed above their talent level.
It is unquestioned that Nick Marshall is a superior athlete and you can see in his film he can hurl a football. Question becomes if Gus can make his offense conducive to a gunslinger to avoid turnovers (even if we are down).
I believe Gus can and has done that in the past. Even the Barrett Trotter/Clint Moseley debacle wasn't necessarily that bad considering the talent levels of the team, QBs and OLine (effing awful).
