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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
