Your logic is entirely flawed. I guess Tom Brady isn't good enough? Kurt Warner isn't good enough? Oh, and Russell and Leaf are the best quarterbacks ever?

Well, obviously you have to be "good enough" in college, or you won't get drafted. So Double-U's statement was actually true. If Tony Romo wasn't drafted, it must have meant he wasn't good enough - at least in college.

Then we're all agreed that Johnny Manziel is an excellent QB since he was good enough to be drafted in the first round? I mean, if college is going to be used to decide the careers of professional players, we might as well get straight to the point.
Must suck to be Warren Moon. Was so bad he was never drafted, and has a lower playoff win percentage than Romo.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
How you perform in college usually determines how high you will be drafted. You have to be "good" in college to get drafted. So Romo, who wasn't drafted, obviously was not "good" in college, or at least he wasn't believed to be.
The NFL, on the other hand, can show players to have a completely different skill level from what they showed in college. Both Jared Goff and Carson Wentz performed well in college, but when in came to the NFL, one impressed while the other disappointed.
Tom Brady (who has been mentioned on this thread a few times before) is a great example of this, having been drafted in the 6th round. He was nothing great or exceptional in college, and was horrible at the combine. But in the NFL, he's one of the best, if not the best quarterback to play the game.

That's not always the case. Often, someone can play great at a small school and not get any attention, simply because no scouts are going to follow him very closely.
