I see your point but Wentz is not a good example. The team owners/coach made the decision to build a team around a guy with medium ability in Wentz (same thing in college) ...he is a system guy. If someone is willing to build a team of professionals around us, anyone of us (assuming some ability)can play in the NFL as well. We all saw what a clear back-up was able to do to that team, with some minor tweaking of the offense and better individual ability. Far out perform Wentz and win the super bowl.
NFL teams are always going to drawn to the college players with more proven talent. You always want the guys that played against the best. I am not so certain that I would like YSU ball with more NFL caliber players. Too much of the emphasis will fall on recruiting. High-risk or marginal young guys will have to go elsewhere. No Derek Rivers, or Ron Jaworski. Both marginal guys brought in by coaches with the idea that they may be something some day and willing to change offenses and defense to get it. NFL owners and fans are not going to be that patient.
"If someone is willing to build a team of professionals around us, anyone of us (assuming some ability)can play in the NFL as well. "
Do you seriously believe that? Actually I think you must be joking! First of all, I think you seriously underrate Carson Wentz, second, you FAR underestimate the talent needed to play QB in the top level.
"We all saw what a clear back-up was able to do" Just to be clear, Foles was a former #1 QB and Pro Bowl player, not a "clear back up"
"Far out perform Wentz and win the super bowl." That clearly ISN'T true Foles biggest play in the super bowl was a catch, not a pass. If Brady CATCHES his pass and Foles doesn't, NE wins and Phil. loses. Foles was adequate as the back up QB, but The SB run was all about the Philly D.
Your logic is faulty regarding pro talent players. You are not creating any more positions. If pro talent players come to YSU than they don't go to OSU. That means move "lesser" talented player to OSU. Nobody gets squeezed out, there are the same number of positions available.
"Derek Rivers, or Ron Jaworski. Both marginal guys" That is blatantly unfair to two of our best ever. They were definitely "late developers" but NOT "marginal guys." Many great players develop late, especially QBs. What do Frank Ryan, the last QB to win a championship in Cleveland, and Tom Brady have in common? They couldn't win the starting job in college! And don't forget two teams including the Steelers cut Johnny Unitas! Being a late developer doesn't make you a marginal guy!
