Re: Whose QB Should We Choose?

Watching Jon Gruden's QB Camp right now- Ryan Mallett. He's got John Daly (golfer) in his corner in the film room with him and Gruden. Really? I mean, I know Daly quit drinking and is an Arkansas guy, but what's that all about? I get the intention- he's someone who can tell Mallett all about what booze/drugs can do to a mountain of natural ability, but I sure wouldn't bring the guy on TV with me.

I'm pretty sure Gruden was the one who invited John Daly.

Gruden and Daly are good friends.

Well, in that case, nevermind.

Re: Whose QB Should We Choose?

Also I think I should note that my choice for a possible rookie QB is going to be 20/20 hindsight. In other words whoever they take on draft day I'll feel that they were the best choice. Weather it be Newton, Mallet, Locker, Dalton, Ponder, Kaepernick, Mallet, or Stanzi.

Re: Whose QB Should We Choose?

That's one of the thing that's frustrating about all of the "experts" who keep fitting QB to Mike's offense when it is Kyle's. Kyle is likely looking for a QB that more resembles Matt Schaub than John Elway. Remember, Kyle didn't want McNabb because he didn't fit 'his' system but fit Mike's. Dalton, Ponder and Mallett are more Kyle QB than Newton, Locker and Kaepernick.

I'm not dead but this team is dead to me...but now that McCloughan is here they may have new life!

Jay Gruden = Zorny McSpurrier
Kirk Cousins = Next Grossman

Re: Whose QB Should We Choose?

Your question invokes some more questions though....

1. Who's Offensive scheme are we using?
2. Which QB would be best for said scheme?

Personally to me it looked like we were using Kyle Shanahan's Offensive scheme last year. So having said that then it would only make sense if the team picked a QB that was best suited for that scheme. But it doesn't just end there....

Who is the OC (KS), who is the QB coach (Matt LaFluer). I mention this because they both have to be able to communicate with the QB picked and get a long with them. Which QB does not only KS think is best but who does Matt LaFluer believe he can work with best in getting the fundamentals across and absorbing the material?

I guess I'm reading too much into the question so I'll simply say Kyle Shanahan should get the nod. Plus I'm in favour of Dalton anyway for two reasons

1- I'd rather the team dropped back for more picks and took Dalton in the second round.
2- I honestly think Dalton is a better QB.

Re: Whose QB Should We Choose?

I thought about this for a while. At first i thought Kyle's because hopefully hes the future of our team. Then i decided on Mike.

Mike has had pretty good success of picking QBs, but more importantly Kyle hasnt ever had major input on picking a QB besides, presumably, McNabb. I dont want a 31 year old picking a QB. Shanahan grew up as overachieving QB before he bacme a coach and i think he probably has MUCH better insight into the position then Kyle. I will admit that i dont want Dalton and i do want Locker, but id rather have the QB Mike prefers even if Locker is a smokescreen and he secretly wants Dalton or God forbid Gabbet.
