Good call. It's always smart to base whether or not you draft a player based on a shitty bowl game.

Post season is not just a bowl game. I'm referring to Tannehill's performance in the Senior Bowl, combines, etc. as well. His college resume is not bad. This post season will either show him to be a good NFL prospect or expose him as a crappy one.

I think I am the one being realistic, instead of wet-dreaming about one of the "elite" QB prospects.

If we draft RGIII, I'm changing my forum name to Gold-Toof-Dawg

Then HTF are we drafting? Vontaze Burfict?

Yep.

2 1sts and 2 2nds is really just:

1 1st and 2 2nds, because you'd have to spend a 1st on a QB anyway.

Second-round picks are a crapshoot. You lose one first-round draft pick that would be spent on, what, a NT? A RT? And you gain a potential franchise QB.

No brainer.

I wish there were a "stay put and draft Tannehill" option.

The qb doesn't matter. It will only take three games of sucking before the fans will want the back up, ala Palko. Haley was blasted for giving the guy a shot, how is that going to be any different than some rook?

Because a rookie might actually show something...

Palko flashed, (tiny, tiny, mini, kid camera flashes), but they were flashes. He had command of the offense and had a few nice throws. The rook won't step in and have instant command of his own dick let alone the whole offense.

A rookie would have an NFL skillset.
Palko did not.

No, he was garbage. Couldn't throw for shit past 10 yards.

Even rookie QBs, if they have actual NFL talent, can do that. See Andy Dalton.

I don't think Tannehill will go that high, hence my wish to trade down and draft him.

I'm not a Palko lover or anything. I'm just saying that I don't think the fans have the patience for a rookie qb. Not every rookie will have an NFL skillset. Not every first round rookie will have said skill set either. It could take a minute for said rook to develop and based on what I saw from folks on here when Palko was playing, people don't seem willing to wait for the development. If Stanzi came in and played like Palko, do you think people would want him back next year?

That might happen. We may be able to trade back to, say, 14 and take him.

He made some plays, but he made a lot more mistakes I know. I'm saying most rookies will do the same thing. Some less, some more, it just depends on who it is, Cam Newton or Blaine Gabbert.
