While I somewhat disagree with the idea that UT has "NOTHING" at QB, I certainly agree that Charlie should get a shot at UT if only as an invited walk-on. This is just another case of college recruiters becoming overly-enamored of "metrics" in evaluating prospects. I agree with some of the comparisons some have made on here, but I would like to offer another: Danny Wuerffel. I don't think Wuerffel was all that big and no one accused him of having a rocket arm. However, he was uncannily accurate, a high-quality kid in morals and academics, a leader, and a good teammate. True, he didn't make it as a pro, but he was just what his team needed at Florida. While it is nice to have pro-quality talent and size, this is still COLLEGE football, and guys who never make it in the pros can still be winners in college. If Charlie gets his shot and can't make it, so be it. If he does, he would be a player to make all UT fans proud. A coaching staff can't really be serious about wanting to lock up its state if a kid like Charlie High is ignored and disrespected. BTW, "little" Doug Flutie lasted about 20 years in the NFL if memory serves.
