I really like this guy.He may not address our most glaring need but I feel there is something special about this guy.....his intangibles point to an over achiever who I feel is worthy of consideration.To bad your nose for the ball cannot be measured at the combine.

Rip me about this guy and eat your words in a couple of years http://www.derp/2012/3/2/2838294/past-and-present-luke-kuechly-vs-dan-morgan

Then he will need to get much better in pass coverage

That's one of his strongsuits, he plays well in Man to man and in zone against TE's and slot WR's. He showed this consistently while at BC.

Aaron Curry v2.0

You don't draft a great tackler in the Top 10.

He's not just a great tackler, he's really good in coverage and excellent between the trenches against the run. His athleticism will allow him to learn how to blitz the QB easily.

He's got sky high intelligence, football instincts, plenty of strength, speed and athleticism that he isn't Aaron Curry 2.0, not even close to it.

I'd take him happily if we could manage to trade back.

His combine plus his game tape has put him into the top 15. So trading back isn't going to cut it. There's a few teams between 11 and 15 that will take him and I doubt he falls past the Eagles.

I agree with you however I do not think he will be the BPA when we pick. If we take him, I will be behind him though.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
