That is ridiculous. If the Phins make a stupid mistake like that they deserve to remain an NFL also ran.
YES!! I really hope that Saban understands this. And while its nice to draft guys in the later rounds, at this point we need a top notch prospect, meaning first round. Unless we are just totally out of position to draft one, we NEED to take a guy in the first.
Quinn is likely going top 3, depending on who eventually falls where. Troy Smith and Brohm would fight for the second QB slot, going anywhere from 5-15 likely. Russell would go from 15-25, possibly sliding up if Brohm doesnt declare, while Brennen goes in the later round.
At this point, I think our best shot is Smith. Even it looks like he is going before us, we SHOULD be able to move up and grab him. Im really hoping the stupid height thing will push him down-it has the potential. As for his off field thing-he took some money from a booster. Its not like hes beating his girl or assaulting cops, driving drunk or stabbing people :)
But yeah, Joey has proved he is not a starter now. He can be good, but he is not consistent enough, and not enough of a playmaker to make up for the inconsistency.
And DC just gives off the smell of being washed up. Big injuries, mental issues, bla bla, all has been said before. I for one dont want to pin our future on his shoulders without insurance that a young gun would give us.
Build the team around the QB, not the other way.
