It tells me that most teams don’t need to use an early pick on any of these QBs because they aren’t prime prospects. I’m just wondering why you seem to have a particular bent against Howell. 

Howell was championed around here as ‘the guy’ for the past year.

Last draft, guys were saying we should pass on a QB and tank for Howell.

After it's been announced on live tv

Gotcha, hadn't realized it wasn't announced when they posted. I've been refreshing the thread every couple of minutes and wondered why they were getting chewed out. I'm on DirecTV which is usually behind other "live" land-based broadcasts anyway.

Wow.  When you really step back and look at this, it is quite amazing.  Despite how you personally feel about any of these QBs, when you have guys like Willis and Corral who multiple NFL execs were quoted as saying they had first round grades on, it is pretty incredible that they have slid this far.  I mean, I understand it from the standpoint of them each having their own unique negatives, but the fact that they dropped from the first into the third is crazy.

All those NFL execs lied...

    • Sheesh, that's a tough schedule for our rookie QB.
    • One of the hardest things I ever had to do was learn how to push/drive with power again after a knee injury that was really a repetitive motion injury. Even after 7 years, it's still something I have to consciously make an effort to do or I slip back into my old habits. Those things don't just go away. 
    • I think he is such an outlier people didn’t know what to do with him coming up. If he can get by with his unique mechanics and get the win, those coaches accept it and work around whatever they need to. Path of least resistance. Easier to put him in the gun and snap it to him back there, you don’t have to teach him to do under center drop plant throw timing stuff. Matter of fact that isn’t just him. That is all over high school and college. But he is a special case with that crazy parallel meandering back pedal on the tippy toes. That is height related, seems to me. It is how he adapted.  Talk about fixing it, tall odds, as fuged up as his mechanics are relative to proper. What Warner is pointing out (and explaining it much much better than I ever could) is a lot easier to talk about than do something about.
