I want to draft a QB that can do the following very well;
Can throw a ball 40-50 yards with little effort Can complete 60% of his passes Doesn't get all his receivers killed Can see his second and third options on every pass play Doesn't go fetal on 1/2 his plays Can put his hat on correctly on the sidelines Has no connection to New England Knows how to tuck the ball and not fumble 20 times a year Knows when to throw an incompletion or toss it out of bounds Slides first and dives second That is all |

I always hear that the great QB's keep the coaches on their toes by knowing as much or more about the offense than the coaches do. I want my QB to be like that |
Look for a blockbuster deal sending the next three years of drafts to the Patriots for Tom Brady, who will quit after 1-2 seasons.

1. Geno Smith
2. Tyler Wilson/Mike Glennon-whoever looks better at the Senior Bowl. 3. Matt Barkley |

boy o boy - you all are really a riot - everybody just knows how everyone is going to pan out - maybe you all should fill in for Scott Pioli or perhaps sign up for OC or DC, i've seen this time and time again on this website.
Let's all jump aside and let @KCshit pull all the strings. :LOL: Get a clue, mate get a clue |

I think Barkley can be a successful NFL QB if he goes into the right situation.
He needs to be paired up with a HC and OC that know how to groom him into the NFL version of todays west coast offense. I wouldnt be mad if I was a fan of the team that drafts Barkley and has a coach like Reid or Holmgren. |
Barkley is a very good prospect. Not elite. Far from it, but still very good.
This is Stafford-lite at its very best. |
If we beat the Raiders, Barkley is our guy. I'd be fine with that.
People over criticize Barkley in a similar fashion Aaron Rodgers did because of previous quarterbacks from their system/school. |
I don't think teams are as high on Wilson as we are on CP.

Tyler Wilson will be a top 15 pick. So will Barkley and I wouldn't be shocked if a 4th guy sneaks in there.
Ryan Tannehill went at 8. |

Right now, would you take Wilson or Bray if those two were all to chose from? |
Quote:
I think Geno, Wilson, Barkley and Glennon will all go in the top 15. |

Also, if we win tomorrow, we need to fire up the "trade up at any cost to take Geno" bandwagon.

If Bray interviews like a competent human, he could skyrocket.
|
Bray will almost assuredly go back to Tennessee. Won't he?
|
With the HC gone, I doubt it.
He could work out with a trainer, come to the combine, interview like a pro, and wow everyone and get drafted mid to late first, IMO. |
Quote:
|
Honestly, if I had no idea of his past, just watching guys at the combine I could probably come away making a case that Bray should be a pretty high pick. Based on physical skills alone, he's up there.
|
The fact that people are suggesting that Barkley isn't a legit prospect is funny.
Fact: Barkley is a far superior prospect to Tannehill, and it's not even remotely close. |
Barkley has the intangibles.
No, he's not the most physically imposing QB. But the dude knows how to play the position. Thats never a bad thing. |

Smith and Bray have the highest ceiling in this class. But they probably both have some or quite a bit of bust potential.
But like I've said before, the risk is absolutely worth the reward, because the alternative is shit. |
I dont know if he has the maturity it takes to lead an NFL team just yet. Im not saying he doesnt, just that he has been inconsistent at Tennessee and has maturity concerns.
I think that if he goes into the right situation, he can be a superstar and if he doesnt, he can be out of the league in 3 years. If we have the right coaching staff, an argument can be made that trading down and taking a guy like Bray (with a bounty of picks, too) would be worth consideration. |
I don't really view trading down as an option this year. No one is gonna give up an RGIII haul at this point, plus if you are drafting 1 overall, you suck.
So take the best player available at the most important position and get shit rolling the right way. |

Teams will trade up to be in position to draft gifted QBs like Bray. If you trade down, like STL last year, you are voluntarily removing yourself from consideration. |
I don't want to trade down at all.
If we get the 1st pick, we have the choice to take teh best QB we see fit. No one can take him away from us, we don't have to get lucky. Evaluate who you think that guy is, and draft him. |
Lets say we hire Andy Reid as the HC...or Mike Holmgren. A proven coach that has a history of developing quarterbacks.
Those extra first rounders and still getting one of the following: Smith Bray Barkley Wilson Isn't all that bad. Lets say Buffalo is calling and offering the 4th pick and their second and third rounders this year as well as their first the next 2 drafts. Im still taking Geno with the top pick and sleeping well that night....but I think it is worth conversation. |

It really depends on who is the coach. We get Arians, Reid or Holmgren then I don't care what QB they draft because they knew WTF they are doing.

I think my problem with Barkley is that the talent at that school is 90% of the time head and shoulders above the teams they're playing against. Because of that, stats look better, as in downright inflated.
It would be like an NFL QB playing with a Pro Bowl roster against other NFL teams. Yeah, they're talented, but how good are they when you break them all apart? |

If we end up with Barkley, I won't cry about it. Not until he gives me a reason to, anyway. Geno is my pick, like I have a voice in the matter. |
Bottom line: In April, we'll be in position to draft a QB far more talented than anyone on our roster, and we must take this chance.
|
Lets say we pick 3rd and Jacksonville gets the top pick.
Do we make the call to Jacksonville and try to get them to come off the pick and take Geno, or sit and take BQBA? |

I'm calling it now, Raiders take Barkley in their 1st round pick...reading about his faith means he's just the kind of guy Reggie McKenzie wants.
McKenzie apparently said at one point that he would pursue players that had strong faith, as it would be less likely that they would embarrass the team with off the field antics. |
Geno plus a loss today = joy
