The 2010 Quarterback Draft


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

You guys are acting a little crazy now. Bradford is no star but fallIing out of the draft. 'COME ON MAN".

Said "about everybody", not "everybody".

Based on his college career, Bradford deserved a high first round pick.

Based on his pro career, definitely lower.

(hindsight and all)

At least some of those guys were halfway decent in some way (like him or not, The Golden Calf of Bristol did have great moments and Bradford is still starting). 2007 was so awful and none of them lasted more than a year as a full time starter.

Plenty of people at the time thought Tony Pike had a bright future.

There were people pre-draft wanting him to be taken with a high pick. Ditto Dan LeFevour.

If you look hard enough pretty much every mid round pick is thought to be "first round talent" at some point by someone out there. The week after the draft every fan base thinks they got multiple steals and half a dozen future pro-bowlers.

The best QB in that draft(Bradford) hasn't even proven himself to be a top 12-15 QB IMO, which is unfortunate because I think he can be really good actually.. But he's been put in a worse situation (regarding the talent around him) than even cam

He is not in a worst situation, in my opinion. He has Calvin Johnson. Other than Cam, who else do other teams prepare for when they play us? The reason people still have hope for Stafford is because of Calvin.

I yearn for the day when cam has a threat like. Almost seem unfair, that's why it will never happen.

Can you list them so I can have a laugh. Things like that make me happy. Yea, I'm kind of sadistic.

:lol:

2012? That could work (though I'm still a believer that 83 was better overall)

2013? Not so much.

2010? Eeeehhhh, no :unsure:

2011 and 2012 could up being the best two QB classes back to back in NFL history. These Big 6 are ridiculous:

Cam

Kaepernick

Dalton

Luck

RG3

Wilson

Those are the big 6 but that doesn't even take into account guys like Ponder, Locker, Foles, Cousins, or Tannehill who have starting potential also.

Not to mention backups that have shown promise like TJ Yates and Ryan Mallett.

Neither class by itself might not reach '83 level but has there ever been two classes as good at top and deep as these last two in back to back drafts?

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
