doesnt matter football is entering a new era, dont need to be a statue pocket passer anymore. If you are a pocket passer then yes you need to be tall. But these more mobile qb's dont need to be that tall...
LOL. A&O I think you're in "love," and that's always fun. But I seriously doubt you're gonna see RG3 with Flipper on his helmet.
And, when you really think about, 6 spots in the draft can't be worth the insane price we'd have to pay to make the move. It's just not viable. Sure, IF (?????????????) we all knew for 100% certainty that the kid is a perennial NFL star we’d give our entire draft away, but that’s not he case.
But right now I think it’s fair to say we all know you’d make the move. But without responsibility there’s no accountability, so it’s a pipe dream. I just hope you’ve got some really good stuff in that pipe because Matt Moore is our QB of the present and immediate future. That’s a guarantee.
I think it's been argued to death that any team that doesn't have an elite QB or at least and elite prospect "desperately NEEDS" a QB above other needs. Cleveland and Washington jump out, but even Minnesota and Jacksonville might be inclined to think that last year's high picks are not elite prospects. I think (hope) Tampa thinks Freeman is more like the 2010 version than the 2011 of himself.
I think it's almost impossible to determine what's most likely to happen until Manning and Flynn are settled.
If you listen to Mike Mayock’s take on the QB position in the draft he’s “intrigued” by RG3 and likes a lot of what he sees on tape. He sees a “playmaker” with a big upside but he also sees legit bust potential, or a long protracted process of ramping the kid’s game up to NFL spec.
I’ve said the same thing before, the kid is flashy and has wonderful athletic skills, and he’s smart etc., but he’s pretty high risk at #2 in the draft, and that’s only compounded when you sell the farm to move up to that spot.
With all the other options at QB I don’t see the new regime, Ireland included, risking their professional future like that when there are 5 or 6 alternate possibilities including Moore, Flynn, Manning, Tannehill and Weeden. And none of these require we abandon the construction of the rest of the team to add one prospect at QB.
Yeah Hooligan, you could say that but on the other hand, a lot of them are not going to "try, try, again if they don't at first succeed" because if RGIII turns out to be a bust then you have both a bust Sam Bradford on your hands AND a bust RGIII.
In other words most of those question marks are from decisions made last year and certainly the year before.
Cleveland seems to be the big question mark.
So all you in depth guys, tell me.
What does Cleveland need BESIDES QB and if so can there be an argument for those needs being BIGGER.
Cleveland needs just about everything but DT. WR is their biggest need besides QB and it might be a bigger need than QB. They have absolutely no one at WR.
Mayock thought Gabbert should have been the number one pick last year. Word out of Jville is Blaine is scared of his own shadow on the field. Mayock questioned everything about Cam Newton last year. Tannehill inmho is the guy w/ potential bust written all over him. The guy never reached his potential at TA&M. But he fits the profile of w/ mia is looking for in a qb this year, get the guy w/. the biggest question mark on his chest.
He measured tall and fast...not quite Vick speed, but just a couple hundredths of a second off. I'm not utterly 'RG3 or bust', but I must admit that I would love to have that kind of threat in the backfield. A player with that kind of mobility and quickness covers for some sins on the OL and lets passing plays develop a little bit further. Plus, if someone on the D is having to shadow him, it opens things up a bit more.
