You got it! Good luck w/that sleeper, I only hate the canes when they're in college, they've been good to the skins, so if Harris comes around that's cool, just don't see him making it in the nfl.

I like Kirk Cousins. Michigan State seems to run the same kind of offense we do in spirit; strong run game, bootleg off the play action. Good arm, too.

His accuracy is scary sometimes though, and for all his physical talent, he has that "good Rex/bad Rex" thing too, where he could throw three touchdowns or he could throw three interceptions in any given game. But that said, I still like him. More than I like other guys, but I guess that's why I don't evaluate quarterbacks for a living.

Would it not be better to see how they perform this year and then discuss. I mean allot can happen between now and the national championship.

You must of forgot we are in a lockout and need things to talk/discuss.

[SmootSmack]

Has anyone mentioned Foles?

And FD I agree, but with the lockout the discussion options are limited. Better this than some other threads we've had

GTripp mentioned Foles.

I think that Foles is going to be picked apart to the level that no one will take him in the first round. That could be great for the Redskins though, because they could potentially get a franchise level prospect in the second round of the 2012 draft. And to my knowledge, we haven't yet traded that pick for an inside linebacker.

This class could have 5 "legit" 1st rounders if Barkley comes out.

And Monkey you are correct Hokies fans are awake and shhhhhh but Logan Thomas is getting alot good press as there QB coming in this year. Looked like a monster this past spring.

[SmootSmack]

Ahh yes, now I see the line about Foles

[NLC1054]

Just look at this video, it's clear while Luck is probably going to be the first pick in the drafft...but I don't know, there's just something about him that...irks me. That doesn't quite sit right. I can't put my finger on it. He's clearly talented...but there's just...SOMETHING.

Maybe I should just chalk it up to him being a college QB and say he'll get better...

I'm sure we won't draft high enough to get Luck, Barkley, or Landry Jones. The next best option for us at qb is Nick Foles. He's been spectacular so for this season. He has two 400 yd games and three 300 yard games. He's completing 70% of his passes against pretty stout competition. I think he has great size, great arm, great accuracy, decent mobility, and he's smart. I like this kid and I think he's going to be a great NFL qb. I know everyone is in love with Andrew Luck but this guy is a franchise qb.

Oh I absolutely agree with you. Nick Foles reminds me of a lot of QBs. After watching that USC game, throughout the game I thought I was watching different NFL QB's play. I saw shades of Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Big Ben, and even Tom Brady. That last play of the highlight real reminded me of Brady how he stood still in the pocket danced a little, looked, looked, then fired a quick dart over the middle.

says the guy with the breenan screen name. 50% of 1st rounders never amount to anything, and later rounds are even worse... so if it were me, i'd avoid using so many hyperbolic comparisons. colt looked like peytonin college right? hill of beans.

Nick Foles is stud at qb. I hope he remains under the radar for most fans and teams. Whoever does their homework and really look at what this guy brings to the table will be impressed with his skill set. You make a lot of great points about the USC games. He made great decisions in that game under a lot of pressure. This guy is forreal.

I will agree that there is a lot to like about Foles. But I disagree about the arm part. IMO the guy does not have such a strong arm, so he throws a lot of rainbows which may connect in college but won't in the NFL. In the NFL he will need to throw more ropes rather than rainbows.
