And the only reason that happened is because Eli refused to play for SD.

I dont disagree at all.

Heres a hypothetical for you.

Say Harbaugh takes the san fran job and they pick somewhere in the 7-10 range. anway say they take newton and then offer him, this years 2nd and next years first for Luck? would you consider that?

Or is there no way in hell you trade luck away for anything?

Had to be 04 right?

Chargers sent eli to nyg who had the 4th pick and selcted rivers with it and also got a 3rd and next years 1st and 5th?

I didnt research it so dont take it the bank but i think thats what the compensation was.

the last 1 to be traded before the draft was us trading the Vick pick in 01. The Jets traded the Pace pick in 97, and I swore NE traded the Maryland pick in 91.

No way. I have said it before I have 0 faith in Newton for the next level. His style of play will not work.

Right now I am at the point I am hoping we loose out. Flame me all you want but moral victories don't do poo for us. We will have all new staff next year so nothing from this year carries over to next.

The more I read and hear about Luck I would not trade him away for anything. I have been warming up to the idea for a while but now the national media is saying he is the best QB prospect since Elway. (Cowherd, Patrick, Rome etc.) Not one knock on the kid he is already in a pro style offense. To me if we end up with luck and if he is even 75% as good as everyone says then this year will all be worth it for the next decade.

If this was any other draft in the past 5 years I would not be opposed to trading away the pick but I honestly think we are getting a Brady/Manning/Bress type player. That does not happen often.

If we draft Luck and he looks like our QB for the next ten years, I'm assuming we will trade Clausen for whatever we can get (which probably wouldn't be much) to a team that thinks they can develop him.

Meh, I say sit him on the bench like Kolb or Cassell for a year or two then trade him. Get more value that way.

only risk with that is clausen might still suck. wait...you're talking about sticking clausen on the bench for a couple years and hiding his "skills". still think the sooner we trade him off, the better.

cool, i work saturdays so thats kept me away being able to follow college football like i do the nfl. I am warming up this Luck kid quite a bit myself.

Just hard for me to get too excited about a rookie qb after being burned by Clausen, but then again Clausen wasnt nearly as hyped as Luck is

Clausen get passed on by 32 other NFL teams, twice by some.

Still don't think Clausen is as bad as some think. When you have a coach that doesn't like rookie QBs and doesn't want to take the time to develop them, you get what happened here this year. I just hope he is not damaged goods and we will be able to trade him.
