I think Andrew Luck's rookie season was overhyped because of the draft hype.
That team didn't pay a tough schedule and he threw a ton of picks and he only completed 54% of his passes. Both RGIII and Russel Wilson had better seasons. |

I think I'm still taking Rodgers by a considerable margin because he is more traditional and makes passes that no one in the world can make. I think he needs to work on taking less sacks. I don't think that is on his offensive line, I think it is on him. People always talk about Cutler having a terrible line in Chicago but I disagree. I think a QB can make a line look a whole lot better, or worse (like Cutler) than it really is. If Kaepernick QB'd the Packers last night and Rodgers the 49ers, I still would have picked the 49ers to win. I thought the defense the 49ers have (FAST) presented a HUGE matchup problem for Rodgers. I think Rodgers is on an elite level and he can carry a team to a championship with little help. I'm not sure I'm ready to elevate Kaepernick there yet BUT he's really, really close. I mean, you can't defend a guy who is accurate with the deep ball, can throw it a mile and 100 MPH, and can run like Cam freaking Newton...and generally has made the smart decision 9 times out of 10. (and has a QB friendly head coach to help along the way) |

all I know is Kaepernick and Wilson make me sad because I want my very own one of those
thinking Geno doesn't have that speed, am I right? |

Lol at taking him over Rodgers |
you know that's fine and dandy and I'm the last mother ****er on this board that goes "oh man we should have taken Gronk!" when he was taken a few picks after McCluster because it's so unrealistic...
but we had Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn...we needed a god damn QB. I'm fine not reaching and taking the 4th best QB prospect where we took Poe if he wasn't rated high... but we have no excuse for not drafting a QB...and to think by the time we should have drafted one the guy would have, or at least should have been Wilson sickens me |

if he fixes the 'holds the ball' too long problem, I'd take him #1 in a heart beat what I saw today out of Russel Wilson? I don't think anyone on this planet is capable of that. like I'm head over heels. |
well at the very least this should change how scouts think
they said the same shit about Brandon Flowers and he turned out to be quite the 2nd round steal |

But they still made it. Part of it was the lack of decent teams of the AFC. But part of it is having a QB who played well under pressure for the most part. They are not a good team, but Luck carried them to 11-5. I think that actually aids my point. If you gave Luck a top 5 running back and defense, he may have been good enough to get to a Super Bowl THIS year. He is a robot put on this earth to play QB. |

And the second bolded paragraph played into my point well, so I bolded that too:thumb: |

I think the only thing I would have liked to see out of Wilson today, and this is nitpicking, is buying a bit more time on that hail mary to give his receivers a fighting chance.

I would take the packers' supporting cast over what russell wilson has to work with. I think its a fair point, though I don't exactly agree. |
I was pretty sold on Kaepernick after the Bears game. I don't really believe you can be THAT good and it be a fluke.
Sanchez would have "good" games statistically but they never passed the eye test for me. Same with Cassel (obviously) and another guy who doesn't pass the eye test to me, at all, is Ryan Tannehill. |
