If Calzada throws for 300 and 3 TDs every week, like Kyler did, yes that would make him elite. Bonus points if he rushes for another 100 and only throws an INT every other week. Kyler was an ELITE college QB. NFL scouts seemed to think so too since he was drafted first, even if his heisman season was against the big12.
Oh, and Kyler put up the same numbers that he did with big 12 schools against Bama in an 11 point loss
You know the Heisman goes to a college player right?
And the NFL drafted JaMarcus Russell first overall. He must be elite because the scouts thought so.
You were just talking about college players so I don't know why I shouldn't, too. I'll bookmark this thread if you want to officially go on record comparing Jamarcus Russel to Kyler.
Be warned that in his 2nd year as a QB though, Russel went for 162 passing ypg, a 54% completion rate, threw 13 TDs in 15 games, and 8 INT.
On the other hand, Kyler's 2nd season features him currently in the top 5 for MVP odds. I'll let you distinguish between their 2nd seasons on your own and you can decide if you want to make the Russel-Murray comparison, my dude.
