Taking the 15th ranked player with the #1 overall pick doesn't make much sense...

So, at one time, was Heath Shuler.

I'm not a fan of reaching for need.

So was Matt Ryan. People forget how many questions Ryan had and how bad people thought the 2008 draft class was for QB. Now that draft class has 3 starters 2 of which are pro bowl Qbs out of it.

The Golden Calf of Bristol and Cam don't have the same skill set and aren't the same QB...they don't project the same coming out of college. Cam's ceiling looks to be much higher.....

why, beacuse he's black. The Golden Calf of Bristol got critisized unfairly beacuse of his religious beliefs. thats a fact

The styles are vastly different, but as far as quality, I put the top QBs in this draft more in the range of Shuler than I do Ryan.

My opinion (and it is just that) I just don't think they're that good.

Lot of people wouldn't necessarily agree on that opinion.

they might not agree with the term "light years".....but Cams' skill set/ability as a passer is significantly better than The Golden Calf of Bristol coming out.

Just watch film. It is all there. Cam has a great natural throwing motion upstairs. And his running ability is unlike any we have ever seen at the QB position (or at least different). The Golden Calf of Bristol was a good runner but not great and has a wind up in his throwing motion.

The throwing motion thing is really the only significant difference I see between the two of them. But then, I know you're higher on The Golden Calf of Bristol than I am too.

I agree with your original post about taking the BPA available, there is a lot of pressure to take a QB too. If you over reach for picks you fail more often than succeed. Cam is an over reach at #1. As far as Cam and The Golden Calf of Bristol go, neither to me was a 1st round pick. The Golden Calf of Bristol in my opinion is probably the better passer because he did more of it and Cams combine throwing was god awful. He has a ton of work to do. And there is no way that Cam starts week 1 unless week 1 is in November. We are in a lock out with no play book. He has to learn how to drop back, be far more accurate on the mid range passes, be able to make more than one read, and learn to turn his back to the defense for play action. LOTS of work to do, so dont expect him to line up under center opening day if drafted because he will get his head ripped off.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
