Everytime I try to make a concluding post I write too much.

I do feel the thread has reached the level of ridiculous, but can't promise there won't be another more-ridiculous response if left open. I support this going right to thread hell.

Honestly I think you both are correct but stubborn enough not to admit to either that your both right.

I think you have to look at the stats in order to get an idea of how accurate the QB was under pressure, get to see where he was most accurate in his passes like short, medium, or long. but I think you also have to actually see the player and watch film to see his mechanic's, ie; footwork, arm motion, release of the ball, pocket awarness, and over all control of the offense.

I for one give little opinion to which would be better QB from a big school vs. a little school. True the competition is different but if he has few flaws and little for the QB Coach to change when the player makes the change to the pro's then what does it matter.

I'll be happy with whoever our coaching staff decides is best for it's scheme/system and I doubt the coaching staff would go out and play pin the tail on the donkey to get the next franchise QB so I presume they will do their due dilligence and look at all aspects of the QB's on the board and have a list of who they could work with.

So Gtripp wants Newton and 30 wants Locker? Or the other way around? Sorry but I didn't want to read their 8 page essays on the matter LOL.. Either way I hope the guy sits for a season.. Sexy Rexy is good enough for next year IMO

LoL,
in re: IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
Jake Locker

But, I would hope we're in position to select a top defensive prospect that miraculously falls (Orakpo) like Marcel Dareus.
If the above situation doesn't occur then i would hope we're in position to trade down and still acquire a QB we like.

I like all this years QBs.
I think the top 4 prospects all have above average arm talent and generally sound fundamentals.
The top of my list would be Jake Locker.
Followed by Newton and Gabbert; althogh i have a hard time thinking Kyle would want a QB like Cam Newton.
Lastly there's Mallett i like his arm but not his feet, i prefer QBs that can move and make plays but there are plenty of successful QBs that don't move well.

I agree with you here.
Except i think there should be distinction made between comp% and accuracy.
Imo you have to watch a QB too assess their acuracy.
But, i agee with you about everything else.

The only reason I think you have to look at the stats is because you might find a QB whose team ran the ball more then passed. Is it fair to look at him and say another QB threw for 3,000 yrds when this one only threw for 1,000? no but to see out those passes how many were caught might give you an idea of his accuracy, but you are also correct in saying that if the team has a horrid OL and it constantly breaks down and the QB is always throwing under heavy pressure should he be evaluated the same as a QB who has OL who gives him all day to find an open receiver and get them the ball? no.

Which is why I said both of you are correct. Ya have to look at all the facts not just one side and even then it's a crap shoot as to how well they will do in the NFL.

More like slightly off track. Way to early to kill off this thread. I mean come on we still have the senior bowl, combine, and all the other draft festivities. My mind alone is going to change about 500 times between now and April in regards to this pick alone.

Gotta be entertained somewhere right?

I'm actually wishing we would make a move for Flynn from GB

[skinsfaninok]

Most of us havn't even thought about VY? What if he comes in? It could happen

[schndr_tdd]

id take another QB just not at #10 : Ponder would fit very well with Shanahan ,accurate and mobile,not the strongest of arms but accuracy is way more important

Ok so I went and Youtubed Jake Locker Highlights...

YouTube - Jake Locker Career Highlights

He seems like a decent QB, with an ability to escape trouble with his Harry Whodini routines, but I quickly got bored with the first part of the video showing nothing but him either running a designed QB run play or running around like a rat who's had too much energy drink trying to avoid a sack. I will say that with our OL it might not be a bad idea to get him.... he might be able to do something with the ball considering he had so many broken plays he turned into gains.

So I moved forward to the passing and he seems to have a good arm, fast release, and seems to be able to throw on the run.

I was simply going back to see the QB's mentioned here. My only concern is I'm not sure if the video is of any games from this yr or simply highlights of all his yrs in college.

Blain Gabbert looks awkward to me. When he scrambles he looks slow, there is something about his throwing motion that I can't identify, although he seems to have a pretty strong arm to throw down field.

Cam Newton seemed to be a decent QB as well, however watching the first part of the video left me feeling like here's another QB running around like a chicken with his head cut off. He's definitly mobile, seems to have a strong arm, maybe a big wind up, and perhaps calls his number or is not patient in the pocket.
