And he drafted Kerry Collins with a top pick in Carolina.



I think Polians issue with QBs recently is that the ideas for scouting QBs 30 years ago don't work so well now.

I think a lot of NFL evaluators have that issue. They have seen QBs inside this specific little box for years, and the game has changed. If you’re innovative enough, you can make a lot of different types of QBs work and develop a lot of guys.
