I think its a good idea to take into consideration what somone has done in college but not as total proof for NFL success. I don't know that Tarvaris ever won any so called Bowls but I do know that before he attented the college, loosing games was a normal thing. While Tarvaris attended Alabama St they won football games. Tarvaris played well in an All Star game if that counts... Either way there are so many other things to judge Tarvaris from, like his ability to spunge information, his work ethic and his natuaral abilities. When you start surrounding him with weapons at every level with progressive experience it should turn into sucess.
