Many people consider Grothe a better QB because he can run. So Rusty may throw for 30 TDs but Grothe may throw for 25 and run for 10 more which is why some USF fans call him Tebow lite. I guess Rivals feels that he's a dual threat same with Lefevour which is why guys like Tebow, Lefevour and Grothe are ranked above Rusty
Exactly. Remember going into the MCB, all the attention was on Lefevour…

Does he have what it takes to maintain the level at FAU?
What do you guys know about VanCamp?

I always see him playing basketball up at the rec center. Has some raw athletic talent that's for sure just haven't seen him on the gridiron yet. I think he'll only have one year as a starter provided he gets the title he'll be a senior the first year without Rusty…. :-\

In practice, the drop-off between him and Rusty is not significant, honestly.
So far that has not translated to much success on the field. He has not generated a single game-time TD that I can recall.. just three and outs.
I'll feel a hell of a lot better about him "being ready" if he can generate at least 1 TD in a game this year.

As far as Rusty, I think with all the pre-season Hype might have put some additional pressure not only the team but Rusty as well - started off OK, manage to fight through an injury and early season set backs. And was able to finish the season with the type of performances we expected from him all season.
This shows that he can adjust during the course of a season and the NFL is as tough as it gets on the psych of QB's and this goes to show that Rusty just might have what it take mentally to adjust to the next level - this is probably the biggest reason must players can't make the transition to the next level.
Last year was a very humbling experience for the hole team (and individuals) and should prepare them to being a more focused group this season.
I think Rusty is fighting an uphill battle much like Frantz is doing to get to the NFL, I wouldn't be surprise if Rusty follows the same suite - UDFA. One good thing going for him though, the reputation Howard has of getting QB's ready for the next level - this might just help Rusty's stock come draft day, especially if he has the season I expect him to have which could elevate him above some on that list.

Thought the results would be much more skewed against the ranking…
