If Drew Stanton has a strong combine any way he moves up in the draft.....What would he have to do to end up like Jay Cutler did last year...
 
NO SCREW-UPS UNDER PRESSURE!
He would really have to impress to move into the 1st Round!:lifter::lifter:

:notme:
 
A lot of people here have been speculating that Drew Stanton could sneak into the end of the first round, and that isn't even including the Combine. He definitely helped his stock in the skills competition a few weeks ago, and with an impressive combine i would not be surprised to see him sneak into the bottom of the first round. I think that that would be a major reach. I wouldn't take him before the third round.
 
Yeah I've been speculating that especially when he stands next to Brady Quinn during all these standing non-game-speed drills, many of the scouts will continue to comp to Quinn and the comps will be favorable, and Stanton could sneak into the first in that way.
 
ive personally attended several games with stanton AND quinn...

i will say this...stanton is the better...in my mind he could be better than russell but i havent seen much of him...

stanton has a better arm, better legs and is a better leader than quinn...stanton's value dipped because of michigan state's frequent meltdowns late in games but i assure you this was a case of poor coaching than a player...ive been saying for 2 years that stanton is the better qb regardless of value but at where he will be drafted he's a steal...

dont get me wrong i think quinn will be a good nfl qb...but im just a big drew stanton backer...i think with a year or two under the tutelege of cameron, he could jump in and play like phillip rivers...

also, and let mesay this with the utmost conviction, when you have a coach like cam cameron, who can develop qbs, you give the edge to the guy with the better physical tools...in that area, stanton should shine...
 
my thought is that if Brady Quinn is not available in the first round, Miami should take Stanton in the second. and i guess if we miss out on both there is always Jordan Palmer on day 2.
 
Ugh, Jordan Palmer...Mr. Waste of Space himself.

When it comes to QBs, I always prefer the guy I perceive to be harder working and a quicker study. Between Stanton and Quinn I think they both have about the same physical tools, but Quinn is more mentally prepared, he's quicker at reading defenses, makes fewer boneheaded plays, and I just think he's the harder worker among the two.
 
Ive said all along we should draft Stanton with our 2nd pick. Id much rather have him than Quinn, but i think we will end up with Quinn. As long as we draft a QB, im happy.
 
Stanton has a better arm and is a guy who can come through in the clutch more. I also think he's tougher and has more moxy then Brady Quinn.

Quinn has been playing behind a horrible line at ND, has played through a ton of injuries and has led a weak ND team to a ton of victories, yet Stanton is a more clutch player and tougher? Give me a break.

I'd rather Smith, Kolb or Beck over Palmer.
 
Stanton may sneak into the bottom of the first round.
But the teams there don't really need a QB.

If we don't take Quinn in the first, we can get Stanton in the second.
 
I was thinking of him impressing enough to move as far up as Cutler.... Stanton played in a stronger division and hasnt missed anything. Stanton played much better than Cutler at the Bowl game and impressed at the practices. I was wondering what if he has a Combine that pushes him into the top 10... Could that happen....

Neither of them have proven to be "clutch" anything, so let's not even bother trying to compare which one is "more clutch".

EDIT: As for tougher, Stanton was on the punt return team as a freshman and was used to pressure the punter as well as block on the return. Just some food for thought...
