People like Glennon because he's not good enough to go #1 overall, and we could miss him later. That makes him desirable.

Case and point right there folks.

Lot of people think Glennon is top 15 worthy right now. Quite a few others have him in the top 10.

If he can go 8th to Buffalo, he can go 1st overall.

This fanbase has a sick fascination with finding the best bargain instead of the best player. Why use the #1 on a QB when a Drew Brees in the 2nd round happens once a decade, or a Russel Wilson (if he doesn't fall off) or a Joe Montana in the 3rd. We're due our Tom Brady, damn it. It happens all the time to other franchises (of course it doesn't...) so if we just keep trying with these projects, eventually we'll hit our home run. That's why they always fall in love with guys like Croyle or Stanzi. Maybe that's finally our guy! Gotta keep drafting those offensive linemen, so we can keep on running the ball, and we'll have great protection when our middle round quarterback savior finally arrives, or when we finally land that next great costoff backup from whatever flavor of the month team we're emulating. God forbid we use the highest pick we may ever have on the most important position. Find a bargain instead. Or even better trade it for some value!

When was the last time a pure pocket passing QB who had all his success in a spread offense in college made it big in the NFL?

If you're asking me, then that question is irrelevant. I just want the team to identify their top QB out of the group and draft him, whether that's Smith, Wilson or Barkley. If any of those three grade out as top 10 on our board (and I suspect more than one will), then that needs to be our pick.

Saw a story a while back addressing this very thing. Spread QB's actually performed better (better td/int, higher comp %, more wins) than pro offense QBs going back to 05.

So Smith is suppose to be like Aaron Rodgers. Wilson is suppose to be Favre. Which NFL QB best fits Glennon's skill-set...?

I agree with this to a point. If he goes #8 because he's the best QB left, that doesn't mean he's worth #1. Presumably that would mean 2 or 3 teams, maybe 4 have already picked a different QB...

Wait what? You think he's Ryan Fitzpatrick?
