NC_Dawg, I feel that the folks running this football team want to do some things differently, not only quarterback. The problem at this point is our team has some problems that need to be resolved. Richt's job to step up.
Hutson can definitely throw the pigskin, that can be a beautiful thing . . . . until some dude from the defense lays one on the leader. Would hate to be in Tennessee's shoes at this point. Had a terrific quarterback as far as throwing the ball, he could not however get out of his own way.
More and more the quarterbacks are taller, faster, and have serious arms. Auburn proved that last season, and knowing that you are a Panthers fan . . . . same quarterback is doing well in the NFL.
At some point, (my opinion) the offensive coaches have to move away from what they did with quarterbacks in the 90's and early 2000's. The game has changed so much, not sure it is recognized.
To answer your question directly. A lot of good college quarterbacks are not going to the pros, along with many others that play and wear the same colors at different positions. Not a lot of jobs open in the NFL. The thing that AM has going for him is . . . . he puts his nose in the books. Others should consider that angle.
