Pulled this from the "Sam Bradford" thread in the NFL forum.

Look at this list...

Sam Bradford - Rams (1-1)

The Golden Calf of Bristol - Broncos (1-25)

Jimmy Clausen - Panthers (2-48)

Colt McCoy - Browns (3-85)

Mike Kafka - Eages (4-122)

John Skelton - Cardinals (5-155)

Jonathan Crompton - Chargers (5-168)

Rusty Smith - Titans (6-176)

Dan LeFevour - Bears (6-181)

Joe Webb - Vikings (6-199)

Tony Pike - Panthers (6-204)

Levi Brown - Bills (7-209)

Sean Canfield - Saints (7-239)

Zac Robinson - Patriots (7-250)

Good grief, that's awful :unsure:

Sad to say that in what might well be the worst quarterback draft in recent memory, we took two. And XClown pointed out to me that Armanti would make three, if you count him.

Now, while we aren't in the market for a QB this draft with any high round picks, a lower round pick could be an option. I'm wondering how people think this year's prospect list stacks up against the 2010 bunch.

This year's QB class will be better than that one, but there isn't a guy that is going to come in and dazzle right away, like the last couple of years of QBs have done. This year's class will need to either take a year to learn offensive schemes and defensive alignments, or, could just take a while to develop into a star level QB (like Flacco.)

But, if we were actually in this draft, there's no reason not to get one of the UDFA guys. With guys like Jordan Rodgers (Aaron's brother, Vanderbilt QB), Sean Renfree (Duke, learned from the same coach who helped develop Peyton Manning), or James Vandenberg (Iowa, learned under Kirk Ferentz), there are definitely guys who could be there after the draft that could come in and be a fantastic back-up for Cam, and who we could use to trade like the Eagles did with Kolb.

skelton probably turned out to be the best guy on that list... pretty sad

You could probably make an argument for Kafka, though he was in an Andy Reid system, so...

Regardless, being the best of this bunch is like being the prettiest girl on an East German Olympic Swim Team from the 70s.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
