I think as we move forward in the NFL, the only way to defend the passing game that has so many rules advantages is to get after the passer.
With that in mind, I think the best QBs will be the ones who understand the importance of the pocket, but also have the ability to escape pressure when necessary. Ryan Mallet is a statue. So, no.

I always thought that NE drafted Mallett with the intention of grooming him to be Brady's replacement. If they were to trade him because they don't see him as the guy, why would we think he is?

He reminds me of Derek Anderson with a powdered nose.

His footwork improved significantly his last year at Arkansas, but yeah...he's still not very mobile. He's also an idiot. New England was the best place for him to go in the draft, because they aren't going to put up with his antics.
(And perhaps they've finally drilled it into his head that he's a white kid from Texarkana...not a black kid from Detroit.) |

If you want an objective answer to your questions this isn't the place. If you want anyone other than Luck, RGIII, or as a last resort Tannehill all you will get is criticism. You'll also likely be told that you want mediocrity.

Well, you get the picture. One of these days, this might actually work. But the fact remains, your best chance to find the right guy is in the draft, not by trading for or signing someone else's castoffs.

But, so far, I've gotten great answers, and you all have pretty much explained to me why this is a bad idea. So, I got exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, y'all! |

He has an amazing ability to throw interceptions during a "clutch" moment.

So yeah, totally agree that the best chance to find the right guy is in the draft. But at this point, I just don't see us realistically taking a first-round QB this year. I hope I'm wrong. |

The best offenses we have had in Chiefs history were with castoff QBs. Dawson (two SBs, 3 AFL Championships), Montana (took us to the AFC Championship) and Green (#2 offense behind Manning's Colts). The biggest failures? First round draft picks. |

Time for someone to dig up the "1st Round Superbowl Winning QB" stats again. |

I do think the best chance to get your guy through the draft, but if there's a young guy (like a Mallet) being unused in the league who fits what you're looking for (sounds like Mallet doesn't), then that could work for me, too. I just want to find someone young who could be our guy for many years, and I don't see us getting him in this year's draft (at least not in the first round). |
