No quarterbacks in the draft

[Mr. Scot]

Not this year anyway. Having thought it over, I just can't get behind it.

I've previously been willing to accept the notion of a guy in the later rounds (no one interests me in the first or second, for sure) but for now, even that is off the table for me.

Why?

Youth.

We've already got two young quarterbacks in the mix from last year's draft. What's the real point of throwing yet another youngster in if he's not a franchise caliber guy (and with Luck staying in school, none of those are available) :nonod:

I'd much rather pick up a vet like Billy Volek, re-sign Matt Moore and give him a shot in camp, and go from there.

If it doesn't work out, maybe you can engineer a shot at another franchise quality QB in the draft or free agency. But for this year, there was only one franchise QB in the draft, and he's not coming. The free agent class may not be great, but at least it offers a little balance in the age department.

Sorry fans of Newton, Gabbert, Locker, Mallett, Taylor and anyone else. I just can't get behind it.

McNabb FTW...

pretty much what I've said. Nobody this draft is polished enough to be worth it. They are all projects. Some have more upside, some look damn fine and many have very good chances of being great QBs down the line but we already have a QB analysts thought could be a great QB down the line and is a project... so meh

[Lumps]

if Mr. Scott isn't behind it than neither am I, of course I never was.

I just don't see any quarterback that would do any better than Clausen did this season. None are really better prospects than Clausen was out of college.

[Ricky Spanish]

I agree, it just pains my heart to know that we will once again not have any long term solutions to our inept QB play

[Mr. Scot]

Next year's draft is expected to have better options for a long term solution than this one. Next year's FA might as well.

This is an extremely bad year to need a quarterback

[bababoey]

That's what I been saying for months. We got a rookie qb throwing to rookie wr and you want to go out and get another rookie qb and expect us to be better next year. Really?

Get someone who has played for a while and can actually read a defense and understand what he sees on the field and audible into a good play every now and then. Even if Luck would have come out we still need to get a qb with some experience for next year (if there is a next year).

McNabb FTW...

Please no

[CatMan72]

Please no

Who is on the roster or potentially obtainable that would be better?

[Swarly]

Please no

this

lot of money for a guy that got benched for Grossman

[Mr. Scot]

I'd also add there's no one I want to see us trade for, either (no one we could realistically get, anyway, unless Denver comes way down on Kyle Orton's asking price).

Right now my vote is for Billy Volek. He's likely the best stopgap available.

and Rex Grossman would make for some entertaining games at least.

It depends how good you think McNabb is. I loved him in Philly and thought he was a top 5 QB. Out of that system, he doesn't cut it. He's old and when he talks he doesn't sound like he wants to mentor anyone. Can you imagine the poo storm if he actually got benched for Clausen?

Currently his talents aren't worth his cost and potential headache. Plus I doubt he comes to a 2-14 team at the end of his career.
