The funny part is that if Baldinger is 100% wrong no one will hold him accountable b/c nobody cares. If he's right too so what? They don't award medals for making a half-assed prediction about a rookie in July.
Baldinger: Tannehill as a franchise QB is a pipe dream

Love Barkley. When all is said and done I think he's between Matt Stafford and Andrew Luck as a prospect. If we're in a position to get him next year I want him.
Picking Barkley is a clear message that the team would have given up on Tannehill. I can't see any team nowadays picking a quarterback in the top 10 in back to back seasons. If Miami is indeed unfortunate to pick in the top 5 next year, I would rather someone like Robert Woods to give Tannehill a big time weapon.

Time will tell, but media grades mean absolutely nothing. Less than they used to in fact simply because the average fan has access to almost as much information on college prospects. The media may have the edge in knowing the personalities of players, some inside information from coaches etc. But with the advent of the internet, youtube highlights etc. a fan can become a scout and form his/her own opinions much easier than in the past. Personally, I think Ryan Tannehill will be at least an above average quarterback in this league and I like the coaching staff in place to develop him. He has everything you look for in the position and exciting athletic ability. I think we, as fans, will need to be patient as the organization builds talent around Tannehill.
Well if they do we will have a good B/up......................

Barkley is too good to pass up. He would've gone before RG3 this year. Barkley will be a great player for a long time.

I find Sileo to be very annoying. They post most of his interviews on the archives too.

If Barkley is available you draft him. Keep drafting QBs until you find one. Then they could always trade Tannehill like Atlanta did with Shaub. If Miami has a top 5 pick, they should trade Tannehill and draft picks to move up and take Barkely.

i wouldn't put too much stock into what brian baldinger thinks...i know i don't
Since you are in favor of not giving more than one year for a rookie quarterback to prove himself, if they did draft Barkley in 2013, should they trade him in 2014 if they are in a position to take the top QB that year? Just keep taking 1st round quaterbacks and trading away the one from the year before is the way to go in your opinion? Not a fan of the old school thought of giving your 1st round pick a few years and building a team and offense around him? You want to start over every year?
Not me. Tannehill is and will be looked at as the guy for at least the next few years. Any high draft picks in the 1st round that may occur will be used to give Tannehill more weapons to succeed. Not to replace him. Think WR or offensive lineman if they go offensive in the draft next April, not quarterback.

I'm just giving you my personal opinion, but I know that a lot of people agree with me, AS PURE PROSPECTS Tannehill is like a high end Volkswagen and Barkley is a Mercedes CLS 550 AMG. If Tannehill has a Cam Newton type rookie year, then obviously I don't want to draft a QB, but if he goes out there and looks totally incompetent then I'd be all for Barkley.
Unless they clean out the entire front office and coaching staff at the end of the season, you can forget about Barkley. Not happening.

Didnt Baldinger also say that D Thomas was a bust before he even played a regular season game? Or was that someone else?
Baldinger is an idiot...He never knows what he is talking about on NFLN
