I know he is a little raw. But he has the height and arm strength to make the necessary throws. I think with some time and development he could be (or will be) a starting QB (somewhere). Should we invest resources into seeing what he's got? I'm tired of watching Clausen getting his passes batted down, missing wide open WR's, and ether checking down/throwing the ball away every play.

OR

Do we draft another QB. One that has great arm strength and raw talent but no consistent accuracy? Or one that might have the size, but prefers to run 1st/pass later and also has off the field issues?

Is there a QB in the draft that can be a potential Franchise QB down the road?

I'm so torn by this news of Luck that the #1 Overall pick is going to be a toss up. Who knows who we draft?

Honestly after the wounds of recent heal, I hate to say this, but Pickles could turn out OK for our system. I know he missed some wide open passes, but he was on his back on just about every play. Give him some time in the pocket before we write him off.

Pike, I think he played ok when we seen him. I honestly think he played the best out of all of them this year. What gets me is the one game that he played the 4th quarter or whatever, he moved the ball well. But Fox basically said he sucked and he didn't play him after that.

I'm not sure what plays out, but lets just hang in there with a new coach and see if that helps.

Im totally for signing Palmer or Mcnabb when they get cut and having Pike and Clausen behind either one...Pike is tall, has a hell of an arm...He just wasnt given a chance at all with Fox...

As of right now, neither of those guys are available. Lewis said he is sticking with Palmer, and Shanahan is saying they are going to try to mend the wounds with McNabb.

That's how I feel. I think with some good coaching and a fair shot, that Pike might be able to develop into a good QB. He has all the intangibles, he just needs the reps and game experience to polish them.

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
