Troy Aikman had a good pro career...for the purposes of my argument I'm counting him as a Sooner QB even though he transferred to UCLA

[quote=Slingin Sammy 33;650564]Big C and wilso make good points. Oklahoma QB's have put up big numbers and not translated into the pros (Josh Heupel, Jason White). Bradford didn't play particluarly well in the BCS Championship last year. He also doesn't play under center. At #4, his bust risk is too high IMO.[/quote]

Fair enough to all of you guys. I am wary of his lack of time under center as well. I was just wondering.

Only if you were a RB or an offensive lineman. Most QB's and WR's hated it. I know I did.

I thought it wasn't set in stone yet

BTW, that was a nice thread you started early Sun. AM :silly:

Hardy Har Har. Thanks!

I ran the wishbone once and hated every minute of it. Most of the teams that I played on afer that ran a version of the I and evolving variations of it. The I was our base formation in high school, but like the NFL we could come out with up to 5 WR sets. I miss the memories of my playing days, but in no way would I want to strap it on now.

I never played on Sundays I broke into Saturdays a couple of times but that was it.

It hurts me just thinking about it. Sean Taylor said it best "Playing a kids game for a kings ransom". I played the game but never got the ransome.

Re: Redskins pick 4th in the draft
 

So I've been following McShay, and he thinks now that Anthony Davis, the Tackle from Rutgers is better or could pass Russell Okung come draft time, so skins fans who want okung and think we don't have a shot at getting him, theres still a good chance we could get him or this Davis kid, who they say can play guard if needed. Also Bryan Bulauga from Iowa, they say is not a LT in the nfl, and he's more of a guard or RT, so I think we could probably scratch him off our list.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;650532]You might want to re-thinking giving any creedence to anything Todd McShay says about... well, anything. The dudes clueless.

Clausen and leadership have no place in the same sentence. McCoy is arguably a system QB, but i'd take him over Clausen. Tebow's a good value pick later in the draft. Like i said earlier, i dont really like any of these guys. they're all projects and its a waste of a 1st round pick to draft a project QB. Hopefully Shanny can find a QB he likes in the 2nd or 4th.[/quote]

I still think Tebow can play in the NFL but he's a two or three year plan, and this team is aging. We need a quarterback who can start week 1 and Clausen seems to be the best option from the draft who can do that.

I wouldn't be unhappy at all with getting Davis on this team. But I think I would choose Okung first. Either one would be a vast improvement over what we have.

Re: Redskins pick 4th in the draft
 

There's this guard from Idaho that's top ranked.. You should see this monster. I'd even draft this guy in the second round he's so nasty. Iupati I think is the name...

Re: Redskins pick 4th in the draft
 

A trade back scenario that will probably never happen:
Trade with Patriots,
Redkins give up our 1st this year, plus Santana Moss and/or Carlos Rogers.
Pats give up their 1st this year, AND the 2011 1st that they got from the RAIDERS in for R. Seymore.
Surely it would take more picks to smooth it out, but
The goal would be to come away with two quality lineman this year, then next year be in a position to draft Jake Locker, (the next Elway), plus an elite Left Tackle next year, via our own 2011 1st that will probably be pretty high. The Pats could get Gerald McCoy this year with our pick to replace Seymore, and have Santana replace the injured, and possibly done, Wes Welker.
We have to trust that the Raiders will suck next year, a longshot, but we could have, two top five picks next year.
It's going to take a while to rebuild this team, let's face it.
