Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)

If this were the Olympics yes I'd be all over taking him but it's not. To be honest the 40 time means diddly other then if given a straight open field he will out run almost everyone, but that's rare considering the 11 other players on the other side of the ball.

None of what he's done at the Combine shows if he can read defenses, none of it showed how good or bad he can throw, none of it showed his footwork, none of it showed if he can back peddle set and deliver the ball. All it showed is he can answer a few questions which I think half of us could do and it showed he's an awesome track star.

If he fell to us at #6 I'd take him but he won't, and the price rumored is way too high for me. Hell save the picks, trade back, and pick up two Rookies if you'd like and let them battle in camp. We'd still be able to pick up more weapons from the draft. Given all our holes everyone is talking about and how the team is "no where near competing for a play off spot" one would think others here would not want to give up all those potential picks that would probably be starting like pretty much everyone of last years had started at one point or another. One year of hardly any FA movement and one solid draft seems and doing the opposite of what this team has done in years past and it's like everyone has gotten DT's from it and are screaming for a fix at any cost.

Plus we all can speculate but we really don't know what Flynn will want, he might decide to sign a decent contract with the Packers in order to stay with them because they offer the best chance of getting a second ring atleast for now. That would screw all this up. Manning might decide he will not want to hurt the Colts fans feelings and lose his legacy by playing elsewhere and that would put a monkey wrench in everything also. Cause the rest of the QBs out there don't scream play offs, more like backup other then possibly Hoyer and he is a back up.

wow...
gotta say, this ranks up there in the "I refuse to see it, because I don't want it" quotient.

Does a combine interview alone make a franchise qb? no, but this kid has done dozens of interviews, has his degree, and clearly has a good head on his shoulders.
***edit*** I don't know for sure how many interviews, but I know he has done several with Sirius, and NFL Network. Yes sure all of these are fluff but listen to Carlos Rodgers do an interview, and listen to RGIII, and you most certainly come away with two distinctly different impressions.
****

Does the fastest qb 40 since Michael Vick mean he will elude NFL pass rushers? no, but college film would seem to imply he might, and if he does get out in the open, the game break speed might come in handy.

I think the DT's come from having qb controversy every year since 91, and never just "having that guy". With nearly 600 free agents, alot of our holes will get touched on that way. If there was ever a year to give up several picks in order to get a franchise qb, this just might be the one. We have the cap room to get solid, maybe ever star, players at a few positions, there will be several to choose from, and we have a lot more young depth than we have had in years.

Now, we don't know what the price will be for RGIII, and if it's possible that it might be too high. 3 1st rounders is what I consider too high. The browns certainly could bid up to that if they want to, since they have 2 this year and one next )
