True Maroon

Cutcliffe is a pretty good QB coach and actually might have better credentials in that area than Mullen. He coached Eli and Peyton. I don't quite remember the overlap, but I think he coached Erik Ainge for a bit. He was a solid college QB.

People always talk about who Mullen has coached. The only guy that has done much at the NFL level is maybe Tebow. Smith had a solid 2011, but he has been a disappointment for the most part. I say that as a 49er fan.

So, Cutcliffe has the edge in my opinion. The other points are solid though.

I'm all for the hype on Tyler, but don't put the cart before the horse. MSU needs him to be a draftable quarterback, but he has to prove it on the field first.

Mullen has brought Tyler a long way in his passing quickness. We'll know in a few months or maybe a year+ whether Tyler looks to be an NFL QB. Miller wasn't accurate enough to be a pro QB, regardless of any other qualifications. If Tyler Russell shows well the next two seasons, he seems to have the tools to make someone in the NFL pay him on Sundays. His passing is much better now compared to 15 months ago. We'll find out on the field, starting soon, to see what we have at QB. Romero was a fairly good college QB due to his mobility, but certainly he wasn't exceptional.

I finally fixed my tiller and pretty damn happy about it so I felt I'd throw you a +1 J. Short!
