The Golden Calf of Bristol will go in the high 1st or AT LEAST 2nd round.

Someone will take him high...

Let them pick someone for PR. Other than an ESPN segment showing him circumcising children in your town he is otherwise worthless.

Fun to cheer for but TD Jesus will make as much impact on the NFL as "Touchdown Tommy Vardell"......WHO?! you ask....exactly.

The Golden Calf of Bristol was not as good as Danny Wuerffel and Wuerffel flopped. The Golden Calf of Bristol is undraftable IMO.

Qb is is only chance and he has as a pro...... and its slim at that. Charlie Ward was a better qb and did not get drafted.

I am just trying to get a little perspective of College does not translate.

this..............

i lol at people who think The Golden Calf of Bristol will be around after the 2nd round :out:

I don't think he will be around after the 2nd. My point was, and is, if we take care of the WR situation, by whatever means available, then we should take him if he were still available. WE have a 2nd round pick, and if a WR has been landed via FA or a trade, then he may be worth a shot if he hasn't been taken. But all other possibilities have to be subjugated to getting WR help first and foremost.

Personally, I think he's going to be taken in the first round!

OK?

Jaguars lineman unloads on The Golden Calf of Bristol

Posted by Mike Florio on February 3, 2010 10:50 PM ET

Plenty of people in Jacksonville would love to see quarterback The Golden Calf of Bristol become one of the newest members of the Jaguars.

One of them isn't current Jaguars offensive lineman Uche Nwaneri, who has started 28 games over the past two seasons.

In a posting on the team's official message board (our pal Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union has confirmed through the team that Nwaneri wrote the item), the three-year veteran was candid in his assessment of the former Florida quarterback.

Here's Nwaneri's five-point breakdown:

"5. He cant throw. PERIOD.

"4. He cant read any coverage other than probably cover 2 or man cov. PERIOD (the only cov. in college lol).

"3. the QB wildcat WILL NOT WORK IN THIS LEAGUE. PERIOD.

"2. He doesnt know how to take a snap from center, nor is he even comfortable enough to.

"1. HE CANT THROW. and thats really something you either have or not, never seen a qb who couldnt ever throw, just all of a sudden be able to throw just because hes now in the NFL."

...sooo....should we draft him with our 2nd?!!??!!:puke: < me if we actually do this PR stunt.

Let me preface this by saying I don't like The Golden Calf of Bristol. I just don't. He's over-hyped, he's under-hyped, yada yada. The truth is he's over-spotlighted by the media. The coverage is Favre-ish. I could give poo about which pasta monster he pays homage to (and I will later tonight), but I'm trying to not let that blind me to the facts.

OK, time to retire the college fanboy until the draft is over.

The National Football Post ranks only 7 QBs as possessing the innate ability to be legitimate starters in the NFL. I kind of agree with this list, if not the specific order.

NFL QB Prospect Rankings

(in their order)

Sam Bradford

Jimmy Clausen

John Skelton

Jarrett Brown

Colt McCoy

The Golden Calf of Bristol

Jevan Snead

They list all the other QBs in this draft as backup quality, lacking in the ability to become a starter. This is one of the few lists I've found that adds enough weight to physical attributes of the QB for me. Their method is pretty interesting, you should try the link. Keep in mind, if you threw physical attributes out the window, Brett Basenez would be our current starter. If you're going to develop a guy, at least make sure he has the ability to play the position. It's one of the few things that can be accurately measured in the evaluation of a QB prospect. Screw sentimental picks.

Of those 7 above, only the bottom 5 will possibly be available when we pick. My rank of those 5 by how close they are to contribute immediately:

The Golden Calf of Bristol

Colt McCoy

John Skelton

Jarrett Brown

Jevan Snead

Each of those 5 have issues. I could go on for awhile on all 5, but The Golden Calf of Bristol's issues are smaller than QBs lower in this draft. He has to learn the pro systems and how to take snaps from center, just like the rest of the prospects. The only thing keeping him out of the first round is that Byron Leftwich delivery. That can be shortened some and worked around. Doing that would be easier than working around the issues of the QBs ranked after him. When he gets here he can ask Cantwell how he managed to shorten his elongated delivery in the 1-2 months after his college career ended and the Senior Bowl last year.

The fact that I'm considering The Golden Calf of Bristol really illustrates the weakness of this QB class. If we have to pick a QB in this draft, I won't be upset if they pick The Golden Calf of Bristol in the second, although I would much rather address WR with our first pick and pick Skelton/Brown/Snead later in the draft as a developmental QB. Unless something really radical happens, Moore is going to be our opening day starter either way. The over-coverage by the media is blinding a lot of people to The Golden Calf of Bristol's actual value and polarizing their opinions away from reality(in both directions). The fact is he's one of the best options available and should be considered, like it or not.

Romo, Warner, Brady....

Drafting a QB is way more of a crapshoot than the people who make money out of grading would like to admit.

Also, Moore is 25, either he isn't good enough and we need a QB to start ASAP or we have a legit young QB and don't need a 22 year old one too. Fox is never gonna draft a QB for 2013 when he doesn't know if he'll be here in 2011.

I was trying to make 2 points with the post you partially quoted.

Primary - The media's Favre-like coverage of The Golden Calf of Bristol is blinding some people to The Golden Calf of Bristol's actual value. It's polarizing opinions too far in both directions. He's not that good or that bad.

Secondary - In spite of the examples of Romo (yeech), Brady and Warner, most franchise QBs are taken earlier in the draft. In any event, Snead and Skelton should be drafted in the same general vicinity Brady was. The point was that they at least have the physical tools to suceed, unlike let's say, Lefors and Basenez.

If we are going to address QB in this draft (as some say we must), I want it to be somebody who at least has the tools to succeed for a change. FA franchise QBs are extremely expensive and their price can cripple a franchise. Given Fox/Hurney's approach to QBs, I don't think they will go that route. It will be interesting to see how Fox's lame duck status plays out vs. the team's need for a QB. I also think JR will have a pretty close eye on how this situation is handled given Fox's contract situation.

Moore has proven he's good in relief status, it remains to be seen how well he does if named the stater going into the season. He's not a proven commodity yet, but he's working on it. Personally, I think a vet backup (McCown or Feeley type) and a developmental guy with the right tools is the way to go. Makes more sense to me than what Chicago did to get Cutler.

Secondary - In spite of the examples of Romo (yeech),

romo is great because he acts as a natural barometer to find out if a person knows anything about what they watch.

"ROMO YECK WHY WOULD I WANT A COWgirls QB heh"

I didn't say whether he was a good or bad quarterback, that was the example given by the guy I quoted. I just can't stand the motherfuger. Hence in bizarro pc huddleworld, "yeech".

how would you feel if The Golden Calf of Bristol is our 3rd round pick if he is available? if we took a WR or DL in the 2nd, then I wouldnt complain if we drafted him.

Seriously when will people forget about The Golden Calf of Bristol playing QB in the NFL, it isn't going to happen. The kid is a TERRIBLE QB. I would take him in the fifth as a TE possibly IF he can catch but even then TE really isn't a position of need.
