"We cant draft a QB! It might set back this franchise for years!!!"



You mean, worse than 2007-2012 when we made zero attempt to draft one?

That said, Geno is the only QB I am excited about taking with a top three pick. He is the next Donovan McNabb. Which means we'll probably take Barkley.

Barkley = Blackledge

Surely Geno Smith and Matt Barkley aren't worse QB prospects than Ryan Tannehill and I'd be happy to have a Tannehill on this team, though of course I wish we can get a better prospect than him.

I'd be happy with a Joe Flacco prosepct to be honest. That's how bad the suffering has been.

It doesn't matter. We have to take one of the 3 top rated guys.

If a team has the chance to massively upgrade at QB, I don't care where a guy is slotted in the draft. You take that guy. Always.

(Romeo voice) I mean boom.

No. 2010 and 2011 were bad years to draft a Qb at 1, 2, or 3.

2013 is pretty damn good.

Not a fan of Bradford or Newton?

Bradford is the worst #1 QB off the board in a draft since Jamarcus Russell. He was injured half of his senior year for crying out loud and still was outright given the job. He also had one of the lowest ceilings of any #1 overall QB that I can think of. It's tough to imagine a more underwhelming QB prospect to take if you're a team in need of a QB in the draft.

I give a **** what the scouts say.
Scouts drooled over Jamarcus Russell.

Thinking about it, I remember when Matt Ryan was drafted #3 overall, he wasn't considered to be a special QB prospect at all. I don't think Barkley is any worse a QB prospect than Ryan and that guy turned out pretty good.

"Most talented QB prospect since John Elway"

They didn't just drool over him, they literally touted him as the best prospect in 20 years.

As soon as the Raiders drafted him, the media flipped to "Ah, he was over-rated. Al Davis is crazy." ROFL

It's true. I read it right here written by someone from West Virginia.

GTFO

That's because he wasn't a special QB prospect.

Until this year, he really hasn't been a special QB, either.

And it remains to be seen if he can take this team on his back and win a playoff game when things aren't clicking.
