Yeah, I said as much earlier:

So speculating well they chose BPA there, doesn't mean that selection can't be a mistake.....

I just happen to think for reasons I've already expressed that not taking a QB somewhere in this draft was a mistake[EDIT: insert 'softer' phrasing here']. There is no need to jump to any wild conclusions or conjecture.

Jay's specialty is QBs and its his 2nd year and he still hasn't drafted "his" guy. And fact is many teams (especially WCO) draft a QB to develop somewhere in almost every draft. Andy Reid and Mike Holmgren were masters of the QB pump and dump scheme where they would draft a developmental QB and trade them down the line for more value. Jay wasn't happy with the QB position last year it just seems like good planning to have one of 'his guys' waiting/developing in pipeline.

I really don't get the point you are trying to convey. I think this is what your OP and basis for this thread is:
Not trying to convey a point. I was curious as to what most fans/warpath members thought about not drafting QB.

Given: the qb's we have on the roster before the draft aren't likely to be successful. (close, I am not making a prediction on what will happen because I have no idea. But based on what actually happened...)
Belief: we should have used at least one pick on a qb in the draft.
Result: the fact that we didn't was a bad decision by those doing the drafting.
