As for any debate between Mike vs. Kyle on which QB to pick, I feel confident that the pick will be Mike's alone since he is the boss and it's his job on the line. Kyle works for Mike, not vice versa. Their opinions are not equal. Mike will take the QB he wants whenever he picks one.

I completely agree with your first paragraph. I made that point last week on here about not trading down if the guy you envision as your franchise QB is on the board and one person after another disagreed with me. It just makes no sense to me how you can think a guy could be your franchise QB for the next 10 years yet you roll the dice on losing him to pick up an extra draft pick.

As for Mike being the boss...that's true and no one is suggesting that he does not have the final decision but after that decision is made Kyle as OC and Mike need to be 100% behind whoever is selected. If it's Locker I don't want to hear leaks about how Kyle never wanted Locker the way we did when the McNabb trade went south during the season.
