Well this QB ranking list is interesting

Ponder is so over hyped right now. He actually had a below average senior bowl week and many questioned whether he was even healthy. Then he had a good game and ever since then he has become a media darling.

But someone did say last week, I forgot who, that he had talked to 2 personnel people that had Ponder over Gabbert. I think it is bull poo. Kaepernick is the only guy I like under the radar right now and maybe Dalton (if he wasn't a ginger)

I posted this in another thread, but here is who I like and don't like in this years QB Class.

I Like

Cam Newton- Auburn (Has all the talent to become a great QB)

Christian Ponder- FSU (Very intelligent and smart player)

Colin Kaepernick- Nevada (Reminds of Cam Newton, not as moblie but a better pocket QB)

Andy Dalton- TCU (The Ginga Ninja is a great leader and a decent player as well)

Greg McElroy- Alabama (If he can stay healthy he can be a sold back-up in the NFL)

T.J. Yates- UNC (Great leader and has the ability to throw the long ball like no other)

Tyrod Taylor- Virginia Tech (If he can play like his predecesor Mike Vick then why not pick him up)

Taylor Potts- Texas Tech (Interesting prospect with decent potential)

I Don't Like

Blaine Gabbert- Mizzou (Unproven and not really great at any specific part of the QB position)

Jake Locker- Washington (Always a roller coaster with him at the helm)

Ryan Mallet- Arkansas (Drug Addicts/Dealers don't translate to NFL QB's)

Ricky Stanzi- Iowa (The most inconsistent player in the draft)

Scott Tolzien- Wisconsin (Has the worst arm strength I have ever seen)

Nathan Enderle- Idaho (When he is not on he plays like Jake Delhomme, see Nebraksa game)

Joshua Portis- California- PA (Probably has the worst character issues out of all QB's in the draft)

Pat Devlin- Delaware (Seems uninterested and unmotivated unlike is predecesesor Joe Flacco)

Adam Weber- Minnesota (Turnover machine)

Jerrod Johnson- Texas A&M (I don't make much of combine performances, but his was awful)

Mitch Mustain- USC (USC quarterbacks = NO, unless you are hispanic [Mark Sanchez] or actually good [Carson Palmer])

Ben Chappell- Indiana (Throws a lot of touchdowns, however he throws just as many interceptions)

There were times where I thought Ponder was the next great thing. They were fleeting.

If he could ever get that arm healthy, I think he could do some serious damage in a more short passing offense.

Like maybe Shanahans WCO?

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
