As I ponder this upcoming season and FAU's Football future, I can't help but think that in order for FAU to make it to the big time, we need a face in the NFL, a draft choice that will speak to top notch recruits that they can get to the next level if they chose to play "football in paradise". I remember when UM hit the big time, after Jim Kelly, Kosar, Irvin to name a few, that kids from everywhere contacted UM in a effort to play there. I don't see Howard getting FAU to this point, moving the program in the right direction, but not getting there during his watch.
Because you dont think he's capable or because he's too old to wait it out?
He's certainly capable of grooming some studs and getting them to the NFL, he's proven it and I agree with Rick, if Rusty stays healthy he'll put up 4000 yards and will get drafted. We could feasibly become "pro style quarterback U". Every 6'5'' non scrambling QB will be sending tapes in from across the country.

There are just to many variables going against him being a 1st or 2nd round draft choice.
Mobility is something to consider i know, but outside of that what are you eluding to??

Consistency, likely. Even in the Motor City Bowl they called Rusty a "streaky" player but that he can light it up when he gets going.
