Then if the rams listen to Gruden and do that, they should trade Bradford to the Skins.

Let's fire up the "Chucky to St. Louis" bandwagon. LOL.

If we finish 5-11 again next year I hope MS is fired

Agreed.

Heard Gruden saying tonight that he really likes RGIII and him and Jaws had their stupid argument over him and bradford.

I've been hearing a lot of Us and Tannehill. I must say if we get Tannehill I will not be a happy camper, because he's very undeveloped and raw.

I'm torn on this one...I really don't want a QB project. I want us to get a guy that hopefully can come in and contribute like Dalton has this past season. But I also would HATE to see freaking MS saying at the end of next season that the QB they picked could not fit into their system (a la McNabb).

The Rams who are so thin at talent, could be tempted to trade with the Browns who have 2 1st rounders and want Barkley badly.

Yeah, outside of Bradford...and maybe Jackson, their offense is terrible. I'm sure they need help on defense too.

I'm curious as to why you consider Tannehill be a 'project' or a 'raw' QB?
Inexperience?

He'll have more snaps played then Cam Newton and Mark Sanchez both of whom were day 1 starters.

In fact Tanneyhill is more of a direct system fit for this team then any QB in the draft.

And to a certain extent every QB is a project.

Cam Newton's physical skills are off the charts though. Like I said if Tannehill is the guy they really want then he better be great because if Shanny passes on Matt Barkley and Robert Griffin III with both of them on the board it will take all my energy not to snipe Shanny COD style because I think they both will be special.

Until Smootsmack mentioned the Skins' interest in Tannehill and others here listed him as a top prospect, I hadn't looked at much film on him. After I read those things here, I did. And I liked him a lot.

I'd agree that he's a bit raw, but he's already further along in a number of ways than some of the other prospects. For example, in the offense he ran at TAMU he took snaps under center as well as from the shotgun and, to me, he looked good doing both. I like his footwork and his pocket awareness. RGIII, as good as he is, worked exclusively from the gun and has to learn to work from under center.

Speaking of RGIII, why isn't Tannehill as celebrated as RGIII as an athlete? Tannehill is just as effective as a runner as RGIII. Heck, Tannehill runs like a deer! He reminds me of Jake Locker when he runs - and I like Locker a lot!

Tannehill is simply excellent when rolling out. He shows good footwork and great athleticism and he is a very accurate passer whether he is rolling right or left. He also is an accurate passer when throwing out of the pocket or gun to the middle of the field.

On the other hand, for some reason, he throws a terrible out pattern. Also, even though TAMU didn't seem to throw deep much, the deep passes I saw him throw weren't very good. He has a strong arm so I assume he can improve on those throws.

Yes, he's going to have a steep learning curve as a pro and the team that picks him probably won't be able to throw him into the starting lineup right away but I think that will be the case for nearly all of the other QB prospects, including RGIII. That is, except for Luck and Barkley. Andrew Luck could start right away but he will probably be sitting behind Peyton Manning and Matt Barkley will probably take his lumps as a rookie starter.

Now, some team may pick RGIII high enough that they feel obligated to start him from Day 1 but, if that happens, I think RGIII will struggle as a rookie. Eventually, RGIII should be a very good pro QB. I think the same could be said for Tannehill but with just a bit less certainty.

Excellent points.

I think that there is a lot to like about Tannehill. I want us to draft the best possible QB we can and, outside of Luck perhaps, Tannehill may be that guy. This is especially true if you consider a fit in Kyle's offense.

What so they can continue to pay him while he's sipping coctails at the bar? watching whoever the next best thing since sliced bread gets hired to come in here and start all over again to get the players that fit his system only to get fired after 2-3 years cause he failed to meet fans expectations and so the saga can continue of no continuity?

OK.
