Bowl_Bound
Practice Squad
There has been a lot of debate over which, if any, QB should be our first choice. Rivers looks good but I would have to vote for Ben. He has more size, speed (amazingly), and power on the ball.
Some say he does not play well in big games like Iowa. That was his first game and he threw a few picks but throughout the rest of the season he was almost perfect, including a bowl game. Last time I checked Bowl games were big. The kid is just raw talent. He has only played QB a few years yet he has a very compitent ability to read college defenses. Obviously it would be much tougher in the NFL, however his ablity to pick up the most difficult position in a short amount of time shows great intelectual upside. Combine great size, speed, raw talent and intelectual upside and I love this kid. I would take manning first but he may go first overall and I cant imagine a scenario where we could get that pick. However there are many top talents at crucial positions that could be taken before Ben. Two 1st rounders could get us in position to trade up and get him. If so I say pull the trigger.:booyeah: We can get linemen and a WR VIA FA.:clap: :cool2: :hi5: ray: :adfin: :hump: :bandwagon :D
