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

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. |

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

Geno, Wilson, Bray & Barkley are just as good of prospects as them, as well as Locker, Ponder, and even Bradford IMO. I'm not understanding why this class is getting ripped by Kiper, McShay, etc... Only thing I can think is because its coming off one of the best QB classes of all time. But whatever. Guarantee Geno, Wilson & possibly Barkley & Bray will shoot up the boards after the combine and pro days. Kiper & company will mock Geno & Wilson in the top 10 eventually.

Sanchez, Gabbert, Locker, Ponder & Bradford were all taken in the Top 12. Geno, Wilson, Bray & Barkley are just as good as them, if not better, which is why I'm not understanding why this class is getting shit on by everyone. The Jets, Jags, Titans, Vikings & Rams didnt have a QB, so they took the best one available to them. They actually tried. Doesn't look like its going to work out for most of them, but they tried and they'll try again until they get their guy. We have yet to try. FOR 30 YEARS.

This franchise shouldn't draft a guy, just to draft a guy, and further waste the careers of guys like Hali, Charles, Bowe, Johnson, etc. Dumb. I don't give a **** what the Talking Can says, it's ****ing DUMB to draft a QB that's unworthy of the #1 overall selection, just because it hasn't been done in 30 years. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB, DUMB. |

how can anyone even fathom going 2-14, having the #1 pick in the draft, and not drafting a QB?
how sick is that? how perverse?

This argument is completely stupid because there isn't another player that demands the selection. If Megatron were in this draft, I would understand the push to select him. That would actually be a pretty interesting predicament.
But he's not. And the new CBA mitigates any risk involved in taking anyone, regardless of position. I'd draft a QB at 1/1 and play him immediately. If he doesn't at least flash, I would have zero reservations about drafting another QB in the very next draft. Ultimately, if you don't have a QB, you simply cannot win a SB in this league, and I'm tired of knowing that the season is lost before it even begins. |

Why are we worried about players like Hali and DJ? I would rather win for the next 15 than give a shit about their careers.
