Parcells formula, still a damn good one to go by.

and #1 on the list is someone I have been wanting the Panthers to take.

Parcells has NEVER drafted a successful QB. I love the man and he is a good coach but he has literally zero experience drafting franchise QBs.

Plus had Andrew Luck come out this year he would not have met this litmus test. Should we have passed on him??

Hard to argue with the formula

Hard to argue with the formula

not to be a smartass or anything, but how many starting QBs in the league actually hit all of parcell's requirements?

and how many that did ended up being busts? I'm just interested to know.

With more players coming out before their senior year some of these numbers while desirable don't really distinguish between those who will succeed and those who won't. For example if Luck came out this year he would have been ranked below Dalton.

So I guess Drew Henson and Bledsoe were better than Tony Romo.

I will say this (as I already have multiple times), I think Dalton and Ponder could be HUGE steals.

[OchoNueve]

So using this rule, Cam Newton, Gabbert, and Mallet are the worst 3 QB's out of the bunch... Let's see who uses this crap rule come draft day.

I hope you guys realize that this rule was the reason Parcells passed on Matt Ryan to draft Chad Henne.

I think these rules applied well around 3-5 years ago, now it's pretty common place to see younger guys entering the draft. It's a knock on effect as the would be talented seniors have already been drafted, leaving a void for more juniors.

I reckon, if Luck has a good season, you might actually see some of the younger guys staying in school as they know their draft stock will be lower. Add in the wage scale, there isn;t this burning need to get to the draft asap to cash in.

Dalton reminds me Chad Penninton when he first came out. I think Dalton might end up being a huge steal for someone.

Well who is coaching Atlanta and who is coaching Miami. I wonder, what would Henne do on a better team esp one better coached?

I think Dalton is going to be special and have said so long before this came out.

Generally speaking, good QBs make bad coaches look good. Not the other way around.

Even on a poorly coached team a really good QB can make up for it because his talent will shine through.

I don't think you are completely wrong because coaching may play a part but I think in general it is overstated and a cop out.

And despite what some people think around here Dan Henning is an exceptional OC. He made Jake Delhomme a Pro Bowler. So Chad Henne had the coaching around him.
