The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

The top QBs often don't throw. This is nothing new.

Going to Indy is still important for the interview process.

I think Chad Henne is a better QB then his perception.
I think he's one of the journeyman/second chance QBs that has the potential of becoming a good starting QB in the NFL.

I would be happy with an offseason QB overhall that would result with:

Manning + Henne + 4th round or later developmental QB

I'm sorry, I hear people mention Orton and I think Grossman, people are now mentioning Henne and I think Beck.

There is zero to gain at all for a top-level QB to throw. The only thing it could do is diminish their prospects. I mean they're top-level because everyone has seen them play and knows what they are capable of. They can't be "hiding" anything because they just finished a college football season where they showed how awesome they are. What happens when they go to the combine and tweak an oblique and can't get the ball down the field? I mean they can't possibly show anything physically to further their prospects. There is nothing to be gained. They do go to Indy to talk and interview as Matty said because that is the stuff that watching them play doesn't show.

True they have nothing to gain by throwing. Newton surprised everybody last year when he threw. If your a top 2 qb going in, there is no way you should throw at the meat market, only at your pro day when you have some control over the situation. By the way Tannehill is not the qb that the skins should try to get especially at the 6 spot. He was mediocre at best this year, and was probably better due to his supporting cast then his own ability. If they don't get either Luck or Griffin wait for the second round, Weeden is probably the safest pick among the "clipboard holders". They'll be back in the mix for a qb next year if they don't trade up, probably with a new coach picking the next qb. Hopefuly not a USC qb-they never work.

Problem is everyone carved up NE last year. Look what Henne did in the remainder of his starts last year. Very underwhelming.

Agreed. I just don't want anymore recycled guys coming in here with any chance of starting. That's why I think Weedon would be my choice. He's the most ready guy out there to start day one. Start him, get another o- linemen or two and we're headed in the right direction.

I agree. Love watching Gruden with the QB's. I remember watching Cam Newton last year and I was like.."this guy has bust written all over him!"
