Not sure if it's even comparable or not, but I was watching the Oregon St game Saturday night and was thinking how much more of a badass Sam Noyer is than any other QB we have, including Thompson. Then I compared his recruiting profile to Howard's and they are basically identical, Howard had way more legit offers. Granted Noyer has had more time and experience, but it is night and day in their abilities. Makes me think the nepotism for our QB coach wasn't very smart.
