If We Don't Go QB in the 1st Round, Who is Your QB?

[Highlandfire]

Say we go Green, Fairley, or another non-QB and don't trade down in the 1st.

Who do you think could come in and provide legitimate competition to be a starter?

I've already said I'd like to take Jake Locker, but I think he's gonna go in the 2nd so I don't know if we'll be able to.

Other than him, I like Tyrod Taylor.

Who would you prefer? Colin Kapernick is interesting as well, but I think he's gonna get broke in half in the NFL.

Andy Dalton

[MurkN]

Well at least there hasn't been any mention of Armanti Edwards yet.

[Urrymonster]

if you are going to have a vet QB on the sidelines, i would rather it be someone with some actual playtime. he has been in the league for 10 years and started 10 games...most of which he has lost. sorry, thats not somehting that is appealing to me. i would rather have someone who has won in the league than a lifetime scrub helping our QBs.

i don't see what is so appealing about a guy that has a 3-7 career record who has been in the league for 10 years. sorry, i would not consider that solid. why the appeal? he's just that guy you mention when you a desperate for a scrub QB backup and you can't think of anyone else.

I appreciate that, but who can we get who has won in the league? McNabb, possibly, but he will likely come with a big $ sign and really struggled this year.

Likewise, where do we draft this QB? Non of the QBs in this draft have come anywhere near to the #1 pick in talent and we will literally be taking 'another guy' simply because we need a QB.

[Urrymonster]

go find out.. I think it would be a better use of our time to find out than to pick up Volek.. lol

I'm very aware of this..

So.... Where do we magic this 2nd round pick from?

[mav1234]

it's surreal how much people reject drafting and developing in this fanbase.

oh, that's right, because they're looking for the easy way out of here. QBs you don't have to develop in your system, don't spend too much, blah blah blah. We got incredibly lucky with Delhomme, and everyone thinks it's going to be that easy again. Moreover, we had two awful QB coaches. Rip Scherer did a terrible job coaching this unit, and Mike McCoy barely did anything and skated by for so long only because Jake played decent enough.

Some of us don't reject drafting and developing at all, we just question if Jimmy Clausen can be developed, and definitely don't want to go into next season without a plan should he fail to develop.

[NFLKING]

We trade armanti edwards to the new england patriots for the 33rd pick overall easy enough right?

[Snake]

since we want get a pick till the 3rd round Tyrod Taylor.

[NFLKING]

Because apparently that's the value Marty Hurney thought he was worth when he drafted him!

[LaChance87]

I agree a vet needs to be brought in, it will not be Moore, if they were sold on him they would have never drafted Clausen. I would like to see a Hasselbeck, Bulger, or Kitna. I've mentioned this a few times, but a guy I really liked this year and thought played fairly well was Shaun Hill.

Young has a good record as a starter but for one, I consider him immature, and injury prone. Not someone I really want to see here.

McNabb did pretty good in Philly, always thought he was overrated. He had a few good games in Washinton but they already want him out, and I don't like the though of him here.

Alex Smith- Had a few good games, but he's had time to prove himself and has not.

At some point I read about whoever we draft, even if it had of been Luck they are going to have their struggling rookie season, as most rookies do. Bradford had a decent season but 6 games were played in the weak NFCW, so yeah he should have statistically had a better record than other rookies. So alot of people expect for all rookies to struggle execpt Clausen. His rookie season was below average and people think we should give up on him. Seems like a double standard to me. In Clausen's defense no quarterback would have had decent season standing behind that line.

Matt Moore.

Enough with Matt Moore. Matt Moore is AJ Feeley. Nice back up. But not a starter.

[brandon_87]

fug it, break the bank, get Montana out of retirement...

[KillerKat]

I think the best prospects will be gone within the first 2 rounds, so it propably wouldn't be worth it to draft one this year if we stay at #1. Next year is supposed to be a good class for QBs.

[Jaxel]

Andy Dalton in the third.

[Pox 08]

The only rookie QB I can think of that was even close to as miserable as Jimmy to have turned around their career to be something great may have been Aikman (and I don't recall if he showed promise or not early)...

Clausen wasn't just lacking in success, he was lacking in everything that matters at the position.

Don't forget Orton. Orton was even more of a check down king than Clausen was his rookie year. His per completion average was 5.1, Clausen's was 5.2, and Clausen was a tiny bit more accurate.

Bears wrote Orton off , despite the fact that the play calling for the Bears' offense was extremely bland... almost as vanilla as the Panthers play calling. When he went to the Broncos, we saw how much of an impact a quality offense minded coach can have on a qb.
