He's very young. He seems pretty accurate and has good poise but I don't know about all this #1 pick in 2012 and Heisman in the future stuff. Let it play out a little. He's only played a few games on the college level.

Plus as always there is the ever present Left Coast bias on the WZ. "Anybody who plays at USC or CAL is a future super star and should be the #1 pick and should win the Heisman."

Well we have to balance out the ESPN/sports media SEC and East Coast dick-sucking that goes on everywhere else in the nation.

Well-put.

To me the media has the right to be biased more of the SEC. It is clearly the best conference in football. Since 1998 they have had 7 National Champs in that span (been in and won every one since 2006) with the Big 12 holding tuff with 2 Championships is the conference to them. I am a Tide fan and been one since I was 7 years old (1993 when they beat Miami in the Sugar Bowl) and I am not biased in any way. If you want your team to have some competition come play a team from the SEC. Being from NC I despise ACC football. I think that should change it to ASS because that is what it is.

- not only is the SEC the best conference, but College Football is more popular in the South than the NFL -- at least in the Deep South. They're catering to their fan base...NCAAF fans are disproportionally in the south.

- Most baseball fans are also in the Northeast, so I understand the coverage...

I got family in Arkansas and the way they treat college football is on a whole other level. I mean 9 out of 10 ppl were wearing go hogs shirts. the stewardess on the plane leaving little rock was grilling a guy b/c he had on a Alabama hat.

This. You west coast guys always talk about bias but the facts are that for the most part you teams suck at all sports, hence no coverage. The Lakers aren't lacking for coverage, neither was USC until this past year, coincedentally they weren't any good. I remember the 90s, the Patriots got zero coverage, is it east coast bias that they do now? Or is it because they win? The Miami Heat got no coverage and they won title recently. Now their every where. Winning.

I think it has to do with where the fans are by intensity and density. The East Coast and the Midwest are where NFL matters the most -- Californians have better things to do with their time in the winter.

Baseball is heavily concentrated on the East Coast -- they don't give a damn about baseball in the South.

College Basketball is on the East Coast.

College Football is in the South.

Hockey is in the Midwest.

Who gives a sh*t about the NBA?

True that b/c if it was 60/65 on sundays during football i would have a hard time sitting inside and watching football the whole day. But when it's 25 degrees and a possible blizzard is coming I'm in the house. Here in DC after the Redskins it's college basketball, hockey, college football, then baseball. And DC is different b/c we just got a baseball team.

If we don't land a QB this year or Luck next year, this guy looks the part.

Luck and Barkley could be 1-2 next year.

Thanks - my dream draft, BTW, is Peterson in the 1st, Locker or Ponder in the 2nd, and Acho, Moch, or another pass-rusher in the 3rd.
