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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
