Brees and Vick should come to mind but, my point is this; if the reason the FO is loving Locker's atheleticism and mobility outside of the pocket, why risk a first or second round pick on him? Other than Locker's prototypical height, what projects him to be a better QB at the next level? I'm not starting a lovefest for Taylor, just being sensible. There's a lot of "too short" players in the league
that where given a chance who have panned out. I'd put my money on Taylor against Locker competing for the starting job on the same team anyday. Let's see what happens...
