LNBS: Aaron Murray will be our Nick Foles
I think both guys waited a year too long to enter the draft.
If Nick Foles had come out after his junior year, he would have had a chance to be a first round pick. If Aaron Murray came out last year, he would have, too. Heck, Tony Dungy said on espn last year that he would take Aaron Murray first overall if he had come out. I know some here have said the guy won't ever have a chance to start, but I really think the kid can do everything Alex Smith did last year and then some, if given the chance. |

The only difference is, (and a big one) is that Foles has a ****ing cannon arm and some size while Murray's got a noodle and he's a midget.
So you are basically hoping he somehow becomes low-end Jeff Garcia high-end Drew Brees. |

People love to throw out the term "noodle arm" without really understanding that some of the best quarterbacks of all time didn't have cannons.
Joe Montana sure as hell didn't have a cannon. Neither did Fran Tarkenton, Drew Brees, or Joe Namath. Elvis Grbac had a cannon. So did Jeff George, JaMarcus Russell, and Ryan Leaf. So stop already with the noodle arm bullshit argument. |

Tbh, and I know 99% would disagree, but alex plays the game a lot like Joe did... Joe never threw for 4k+ yards in his entire career (got close) but you can see how "attempts" really are a factor for how many yards a QB racks up... Montana is argued to be the greatest of all time, but by stats wise for some, he is getting out slinged by over half the NFL's QBs at the moment in terms of Yards and Touchdowns... Everybody is always throwing around omgg best QB he threw 5k yards X amount of TD's but the people who really understand football understand that those QB's are attempting close to 200+ more passes than other QB's and are throwing the ball more in the redzone than other QB's.. And it has nothing to do with "well the coaches trust them that's why they do that". No.. Coaches like Mike Martz, Norv Turner, Sean payton will always be throw first coaches, if they don't like the QB throwing they will just get a new one, but each coach has there scheme.. (for example) Andy Reid likes to throw the ball, its not a coincidence that this last year was Alex's most attempts ever in his career and that's just Year 1 with Andy and Co... I can see those attempts sky rocketing if not at the very least more in 2014 with more time and understanding of the offense/team after Year1.. |

And by the way, Brokie Croyle had a cannon. He never won an NFL game.

That's such a painful legacy. I wonder if he even admits that he played in the NFL? If I were him, I'd hole up in my mini-mansion and wait for my wife to get home from her professional dressage competitions or whatever fanciful thing Kelli Croyle probably does for a living.
