While true... I am not sure we have that luxury.
I really believe we are in a similar position to the one the Raiders were in when they drafted Russell. With Croyle gone, we simply would not have a legitimate QB in our stable... hell, with Croyle here we hardly do anyhow.
*IF* we are going to develop ANY of our players, we need someone who can chuck the ball around. Shitty QB means more time on the field for the D tiring them out and making them more prone to injury.
Not saying I like Stafford... or even dislike him. To be honest, I don't like that we are in a position where we may very well *HAVE* to take the best available QB in the draft.
If it comes to that though... I would much prefer we simply install him day one and let him figure it out.
