Talking QB's in the Draft not named Newton.

I just wanted to talk a bit about some QBs in the draft that don't have to do with our guy, and, since I'm an attention *****, I must start my own thread.

My thoughts:

Jake Locker can be a very good NFL QB. I didn't like him at all until I saw the specials ESPN had on him with Gruden, and 3 for the show. But I think he could be Delhomme 2.0.

Gabbert has never impressed me, and I don't think he will. Sitting behind Garrard though gives him a good chance though. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned into something because of that.

Christian Ponder terrifies me. The guy is insanely intelligent. Insanely. He also comes across as an old school type guy, which for no factual based reason scares me. See Hillis, Peyton. I wasn't scared of him before the draft because it seemed like he was so obscure that it really wouldn't make a difference how smart or old school he was. But the Vikings taking him early just gives the impression they know something we don't. With decent coaching, he could be a good NFL QB. Could see him as a Doug Flutie type guy, except better.

Stupid Lions and their stupid awesome DL. Reminds me of the 2003 Panthers. If Stafford is healthy next season, the Lions will be a force. Yeah, yeah, not QB's.

Dalton might slip in the 2nd round. He might not. It's a toss up. As nice as the guy is, he never really scared me.

Don't be surprised if the Phins make a move to move up and nab Kaepernick, even over Mallett. They love the kid.

With the run on QB's, the guy I've liked since the beginning, Stanzi could end up going earlier than anticipated.

Don't see Tyrod Taylor going anywhere until at least the 4th. But could easily see him going anywhere from the 5th or 6th.

This is what I have said, and what I say is important.

    • New season new teams. Everyone we face has improved their team as well. There's now a full season of tape on Canales's offense and Bryce running it. When they win 7 games I will become a believer. 
    • I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
