Why not Jake Locker?

[Snake]

His arm and decision making skills are not NFL quality. IMO he should have road the momentum and declared last year.

Jake Locker is not any good he is not playing well and does not show the arm talent that a first round QB should show, plus he plays in the Pac10 where the defenses aren't that great and he still looks average.

HAVE to disagree with some of the people here. Jake Locker DOES have the arm, his arm strength is among the best in this draft and (like Newton) he can run and i think his running will be as good as Rodgers' is, the issues are winning and decision making. he's a more athletic Jay Cutler.

I wonder if he's like Marino? Marino had a bad senior year and slipped to 20-something in the draft. Dan had a coke problem.

because he blows.

great athlete, but..

very, very questionable accuracy. he doesn't have a lot of talent around him, but that is no excuse for some of the terrible passes/decisions he's made this season.

[Ricky Spanish]

he is now behind cam and mallett now on espn.

reminds me of Clausen

At least Clausen didn't wear that homo purple.

At least Locker isn't a homo....

Sorry, had to do it lol

on my board he's ahead of Cam, i think Locker has issues, but i like the fact that he played in a pro style offense and i like how his arm is, i like Newton's potential, but you dont just draft on potential, you take the Best player on the board and none of these passers are, but if they take a passer just to take a passer they likely get Newton even though he's not the best player in the draft.

reminds me of Clausen

you GOT to be kidding. Clausen's arm is not as strong as Locker's is and Locker is WAY more mobile. Locker can run as good as Newton in my book. the issues on Locker is he's a bit of a gunslinger with his arm and forces throws.

I'd rather take Ricky Stanzi than Jake Locker. He is talented physically but mentally he's just not all there and he doesn't have "it". There's a lot to be said for taking QB's who won in college, never take losers (Clausen).

Again disagree. Ricky Stanzi doesnt wow me and i wouldnt take him until the 5th round and i wouldnt start him. As for the taking QB's who won in college, yeah, really working for Matt Leinart. I agree that taking losers usually fails, BUT Stanzi isnt that good and i think (if coached right) Locker can be better than people think

Jake locks in on recievers, gets a serious case of happy feet in the pocket, doesn't check down very well, and is very inaccurate with his throws.
