I think he means more a grown man in HS competing against non-full grown kids. Weinke and Weeden played same aged kids in HSDavid Cornwell = Jimmy Clausen (who was also 19 his senior year of HS). Clausen's family had money, so they were able to pull strings and get the waiver completed, and without much media attention to it. We'll see if Cornwell is the next big time recruit to do the same.
And for those wondering, yes, this changes how I look at him. Just like Brisly Estime from the 2013 cycle. Similar, but different based upon their positions.
Brandon Weeden was 28...Wienke was 28
who cares
So the 1 or 2 years difference is what would stop me from evaluating the kids skill set? Pardon me if I think that's ridiculous. BTW, I'm almost certain that Chris Leak was older than his competition in High School as well. In the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter. If a guy can ball...he can ball
Wasn't my quote chief, but a 19 against 16 is nothing like a 22 against 19 IMO. And again he play small school ball in oklahoma, he's the biggest guy on the entire field some games. I wouldn't crown him quite yet......
