Why was Jeff Backus a good lineman in college yet can't block **** in the pros? A star rating is no guarantee.

Yeah, but really, you're just using the exception to the rule theory. I mean, you also have guys like Andre Johnson, Brian Urlacher, Peyton Manning, Ladanian who were taken real high and are showing why they were.
Personally, I think the star system shows you "potential". Sure, there are always going to be exceptions to the rule, but as a whole I think that the star system is usually pretty accurate. People on here are always saying its not really a big deal, yet if we land either Perry or Ingram the pandemonium on this board will be quite high I think.
