Serious lower back injuries are QB career killers. Wait and see I guess.

Buh bye early first round if that's the case. Lots of questions about his mechanics and character already so one more red flag might torpedo his stock.

Yeah but keep in mind Shanahan's scouting philosophy. He doesn't really worry about poor mechanics so much. He looks at the players' best moments and then he determines whose best moments are...best and then says I can coach that guy to the best of his ability always.

So if, IF, we were to take a QB in the first round I guess the question is whose the best of the best when he's at his best...and who will be available

That scouting philosophy would probably explain why Shanahan traded for Donovan McNabb last year. When McNabb is "on" he is spectacular, so his "best" is way up there...

AND McNabb was available unlike some other guys whose "best" is way up there too - - such as P. Manning, T. Brady, D. Brees, P. Rivers A. Rodgers ...
