(ok, of course he's been criticized for other aspects of his game, but no more than other prospective 1st round QBs entering the NFL).

Other "real deals" according to similar experts:

Ryan Leaf
Akili Smith
Cade McNown
Joey Harrington
Alex Smith
Vince Young
JaMarcus Russell

But on the other side, if our line magically improves with the picks we're not using on it, we could make any of those guys look decent.
