How can walter even purport to assess the intelligence and intangibles of these QBs? He has zero access. Don't even get me started on his 2012 v 2013 shit.
Should be: Andrew Luck > Geno Smith Robert Griffin > Mike Glennon Ryan Tannehill > Matt Barkley Brandon Weeden < Tyler Wilson Brock Osweiler < E.J. Manuel Russell Wilson > Tyler Bray Kirk Cousins < Ryan Nassib Oh and Dysert isn't even listed? good game. asshattery. |

I had Russell Wilson as my number three last year, so I don't agree. I do agree that hindsight is 50/50, however.

I agree with most of that article. I think all of this year's QB class is nestled somewhere at the back of last year's QB class, but I agree with SNR about Geno Smith & I think Tyler Wilson is about head to head with Tannehill when he was in the draft last season. They are different players, but similar in a lot of ways.

Geno Smith would be 3rd in last years class. Wilson would be 5th ahead of Weeden.

This is a good example of why scouting sucks. Way too much revisionist history. Robert Griffin looked like a really good prospect coming out, but he wasn't without flaws. Smith probably would be behind Griffin, but he'd be significantly ahead of Tannehill and pretty close to RGIII. What scouts and fans also forget is how aberrational last year's QBs were. Because there isn't a once-every-fifteen-years prospect at QB (who was also the third best rookie QB last year, FWIW), the assumption is to move to the exact end of the spectrum. Oh, no Luck or RGIII? Well then EVERYONE must suck. The ability to see things in a continuum is wholly absent.
Pundits do the same thing when re-evaluating draft classes. If a guy underperforms, they say that he was actually a second rounder who was reached for, when the reality is that maybe one scout out of twenty had such an opinion. **** idiots. The lot of them.

You stated a lot more eloquently than I ever could. I've stated over and over again, just because our QB choices might not be the "once a generation" prospect, that doesn't mean you shouldn't make the pick. If whoever we choose turns out to be a Drew Bledsoe, Kerry Collins or Steve McNair, it's still a good and valuable pick.

How in the **** is Ryan Tannehill a better prospect than Matt Barkley, when Barkley was rated higher than that turd? Shit he was at the same grade as RGIII. I swear all of these ****ing mock drafters have went reeruned.

I wonder if Barkley is going to get that big chip on his sholder that Aaron Rogers has. He'll be setting out to prove alot of people wrong.

Yeah. I remember before he decided to go back to USC, he and Luck were together, right at the top.

And he had almost the same season this year as he did last. Trouble was he didn't go 14-0 like the media thought and he got hurt. Thus he must totally suck. Yet last year he was right with Andrew Luck, everybody's love child for quarterback. I swear the media and these draft mockers are just ****ing reeruns.
