Again here you are using the 3 or 4 best prospects in the history of the QB position.

THIS

this shit is hilarious...no wonder we've gone 30 years without a QB

you guys are just making up new, stupid reasons to not draft a QB...****ing pussies...

identify the best QB in the draft

draft him

it is not complicated....or...or don't for another 30 years because no QB is as cute as Luck..

the way we've retroactively re-evaluted all QBs based on this year's class is hilarious, and by hilarious i mean ****ing reeruned

That's fair. I see Joeckel going around 5 and Lewan a little lower. I think Lewan has a higher floor, while Joeckel has the higher ceiling.

That's a GREAT philosophy. Take a position of need in the draft because you NEED that position filled.

That's worked out SO well with defensive lineman, hasn't it? Downey, Sims, Freeman, Siavii, Dorsey, Jackson, Poe, etc. and so on.

That's why Cleveland, Buffalo, Arizona, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Oakland, Tampa Bay and Kansas City all need a Franchise QB.

Simple.

:facepalm:

You're ****ing reeruned.

And what if he does bust? Where does that put us? Worse than what?

OH NOES!!! YOU'RE BEING A PUSSY!!

:facepalm:

I don't think there's any way that one of the quarterbacks in the 2013 draft doesn't have the potential to be a franchise QB. Maybe it's Geno Smith. Maybe it's Tyler Wilson. Maybe it's (probably not) Matt Barkley. Maybe it's somebody else.

Their job is to figure out who that guy is and take him. No excuses.

And there are QBs in this draft equivalent to or better than Bradford or Stafford or Palmer, guys who all went #1, guys who've all played well, guys who were not expected to be the next Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck. But guys who were worthy of the #1 pick.

I've said it before, you can't go into the pick expecting hall of fame talent. Because if that's the bar you set, then you you can't draft any position. Because maybe there isn't a Manning in this draft (or is there? let's see how February goes), but there also isn't a Pace or a Suh or a Charles Johnson or a Derrick Thomas. Hell, people are even talking about drafting the new Aaron Curry in the top 10, once tonight's game is over.

what are you babbling about?

it is simple, it is not risk free...you keep obsessing about failure...why?

identify the best QB, draft him

simple...you can't guarantee success, you can only guarantee a chance at success by ACTUALLY DRAFTING A ****ING QB

i'd rather fail for trying then spend another 30 years failing for not trying...

You're the one saying a guy has to be Elway, Luck, RGIII to draft first overall.

That doesn't answer my questions. Cherry picking some good QBs doesn't explain anything.

Why do people keep bringing up Akili Smith as if it were some franchise-killing catastrophe?

Smith was drafted in 1999. The Bengals have drafted Carson Palmer AND Andy Dalton since then. Seems like they get it.

yep.

This is the same guy that crucified people for not wanting to take Sanchez, Clausen, and Gabbert.
