I hadn't heard his name since the national championship until a few weeks
ago when he was added to the Raiders' roster. If he was better than Manning
at UT, that was a fact overlooked by the NFL world, as he was drafted in the
fifth round, unlike the #1 overall pick that Manning was.

I doubt if he's very good or someone would have spotted that by now. He
would just be one more in a long line of successful college QBs who couldn't
hack it in the pros. But that is just my speculation, as I know little about
him.
