re: Pollack says "McCarron has to have a great supporting cast to succeed"

You have to have a good supporting cast to succeed. Put Tom Brady on the Southern Miss eagles. Does he succeed?

Depends on what you define as success. With superstars, I think you put them anywhere and their talent is apparent. Otherwise how would they find gems in FCS and Division II schools? Sometimes talent slips through the cracks but you know it when you see it.

You put Tom Brady on Southern Miss, I still believe his talent is apparent. He wouldn't win a NC, but you'd still see flashes of brilliance. You put Manziel on Troy and I think his talent is apparent. I don't know that I'd say that about your QB.

Not that that is a knock on him. He's a capable college football QB but not some transcendent talent.

You guys were trying to say that Trent Richardson has to be surrounded by good players in the NFL, then he'll be great. Let me tell you something, if you HAVE to surround a player with other good players for him to succeed, he ain't good.
