As much as we all like Dungy, he’s off his rocker on this one. Murray is good, but not great and certainly not No. 1 overall talented. I never thought he had more talent that Tyler Bray, although Bray is an immature jerk and shouldn’t be drafted by anyone in an early round. Just a weak year for QBs. Sorry Chiefs.

A very humorous article! Thanks for the chuckle. Aaron Murray is practice squad material, nothing more at this point.

Scouting reports have Murray at somewhere between the second and fourth rounds if he comes out now. I think tony Dungy is overestimating Murray’s talents a bit. I haven’t been terribly impressed when I’ve seen him play this year.

If Georgia wins the National Championship (a rematch of the 1980 season championship, anyone?), and he’s the reason why (Player of the Game), he’s coming out. No brainer.

This year’s quarterback class is so bad. Guys like Matt Barkley, Murray, and Geno are going to be top 10 picks, but I just don’t see it.

Any college QB who won’t substantially improve his draft status by staying in school should declare for the NFL draft.

There’s way too much at stake to take the risk.

The next good game Aaron Murray has against a quality D with Sunday talent will be his first. Against UF and SC this year he was mostly awful only managing one truly good series vs UF. Any talk of him being the number one will go out the window if and when he struggles on the national stage in the SEC championship vs Bama. I will also be very interested to see what his measurable are at the combine; UGA lists him at 6’1″ but that seems very generous IMHO. NFL teams don’t draft QBs his size #1 unless they run a 4.3 and can effortlessly throw it 70 yards.

Georgia’s schedule has been pathetic, and the only times they’ve played tough teams they lost (USC) and should have lost (Florida). Throw in need a massive rally to beat a coach who is now fired (Dooley), and that sounds like one mediocre team.

@mrstinkypants:

No Matt Stafford? I’m not sure he’d want to be Matt Stafford. He’s not that great.

OK Murray and Barkley are BOTH going to be busts.

I just do not see QB’s being the strong suit of the 2013 draft-lot of second or third round backup/project type guys there. No doubt somebody will “reach” a great deal for a few of them though. Never really been that impressed with Murray-those few times that Georgia needed him to win the game for them, he didn’t get it done.

I am a big University og Georgia Fan, and I like Aaron Murray, but I have to disagree with Coach Dungy. Murray is not 1st round material in my opinion. He doesn’t have a great arm by any stretch.

Maybe I am wrong though.

Can the short QB argument finally be put to rest? Drew Brees won a Super Bowl. Short QB’s can do well in the league if they have the ability to play the position just as well as the tall QB’s.

Has a team with a shot to go to the National Title Game this late in the season ever gotten less national attention than Georgia?

This guy is no Matt Stafford. He better stay at UGA another year to get some big game wins under his belt.

I’d like to see him on the Bills
