Landry Jones
As high as you were on Cam Newton I am really surprised to hear you say that.
We most likely won't have a shot at Blackmon either, especially if we win any more games. One more win probably takes us out of the top ten completely.I'm still holding onto a pipedream for matt barkley.
after that, I think I like the idea of drafting blackmon if we are in a position to get him, and than trading up for weeden. this of course backfires if weeden disapears way earlier than the phins FO thinks.
jones to me, needs at least a year to sit. I think he has great tools, and I like his arm a lot. I just think he's more of a sit and wait guy, and I really would just soon have a qb competition next year with a rookie who is ready and capable of starting, and if he beats moore he starts, if not so be it. jones, I don't think would even merit a competition in his first year.
RG3, is quite intriguing. the more I watch the more i like. Just at a cats eye glance on live tv, I tend to think his delivery is a bit windupish.. maybe not, will have to do more watching and slow it down a bit.
barkley
weeden
RG3
jones...
maybe im in the minority here, and i dont really care, but can someone please explain to me why you would want to draft brandon weeden with a first round pick?
Look, i like moore. i have been supportive of him so i wont hide that. that being said, he has a lot more to prove before being deemed the future. we should certainly draft a 1st round qb, and i am not debating that. luck, barkley, griffin, i would love to bring any of them in, i got no problem, those are all guys with lots of potential, and are all young guys.
but weeden? he will be 29 years old by week 4 of the 2012 season ( birthday in october).Now even the great qbs in this league take time to adjust to the speed of the nfl game, will have some rookie troubles even if they are going to turn out and be good. assuming weeden did pan out and reached his ceiling, by the time he did reach his full ceiling, he would prob be 31 years old or so. that is pretty old.
i dont know, i am all for bringing in a qb, but a guy who will be 29 years old by week 4 of his rookie season, i dont know, does not excite me.
if we are going to draft a 1st round qb, which i got no problem with, i rather draft a guy who can be with this franchise and give us 10-15 very productive seasons, not a guy who would at best, assuming he reaches his full potential give us maybe 4-5 very good seasons. most qbs decline once they hit the 35 and up age.
luck, barkley, griffin, bring em on, would love it, but a 29 year old in his rookie season? eh, i just dont know.
