If there was a score for toughness, Locker would be at the top of the list

Yeah i really gained a lot of respect for Locker last night. He really came across as a really tough dude and showed a lot of leadership too. From all his interviews and what not he came across a lot "smarter" and i would have guessed a higher score then some of the other QBs on that list.

Also im really starting to like Tyrod Taylor after last night. Although his "numbers" suck:

??? - 41 -57.4%

If Taylor wasnt 6'1" i feel like he would be a top 5 prospect.

Tyrod Taylor is a poor man's version of Pat White. He's definitely not as good as White was in college, and he's not a NFL type of QB. Maybe he can follow in the footsteps of Randal El and return punts for a .35/yard average.

I think Tyrod is just about the exact same player as White. White had a better system with better players around him. Of course White has been a washout in the NFL so what does it matter? I still like Taylor a lot for some reason. He didn't get near the credit he deserved last season. He should have been in the discussion for Heisman.

After watching the show last night I was going to say the same about Tyrod, I am starting to like him despite his height.
I came away with a diffrent opinion in Locker, after watching the show I have lowered my estimation of his on field ability. Yes he is tough and a wonderful human being. Stayed in school and getting his degree. Everyone that knows him loves him. Yes yes yes,

What I did not like is: 1) he took off running way too much. 2) if he runs like that in the NFL his career will end prematurely.3) I was shocked at how bad his competition was in the Pac 10. When I saw the footage of the crucial final two games against 4-8 UCLA and Cal 5-7, I was shocked at how small, slow and unathletic the LB's and DB's for those two teams were. My High School Db's were bigger and stronger the the ones trying to tackle Locker on his runs that won the games. It was surprising to see so many of Lockers highlight plays were runs and not passes against inferior athletes.
I was always under the impression that Locker was a pocket Qb that could also run. The film showed the opposite, a running Qb that is an inconsistent passer. I understand Locker's teams was not very good, but I also have to question the skills of teams he did play last year. Other than the USC game. when they did play quality opponents, they got beat bad. 41-0 against Standford, 44-14 against Arizona, 53-16 against Oregon.

Yeah, that piece made me covet him for the Skins. Doubt that will happen but a fan can dream can't he?

If McElroy completes 66% in the NFL it will have to be an offense of screens and shovel passes.

[GMScud]

I like Kaepernick and Dalton. If we don't land a QB in the first round, I'd be happy with either of those two. I watched 4 or 5 Nevada games last year, and Kaepernick is a baller with a rifle.

[FRPLG]

I am somewhat smitten with Dalton. I wouldn't shake a stick at Ponder either although I don't know that he is a franchise guy in the long run. More of a Brad Johnson type which is better than we've had since...well...Brad Johnson.

So I wonder now if anything will change in regards to their expected draft placements? Usually the media and fans look at stats and watch film for skill level and technique. The coaches and GM's look at that and the wonderlick. They want a smart QB.

Oh, and I wonder.... who said we should drop back and look to take a QB in the second round.... hmmm, who could that be.... oh me

Edit: Ponder or Dalton.

[Monkeydad]

I'd take any of the guys listed in green. Ponder and Dalton are the two I like the best.

I do not want Locker at all, nor do I want the #10 pick to be used on a QB.

I"m going on record right now. If this kid becomes a legit QB in the NFL, I will buy everybody on this board a drink.
