If Kitna was good why did they take Palmer #1 overall? How's that make any sense with what you said "if the Chiefs feel they have to pick a QB in the top 5" isn't that arguing against yourself in a way?
Also for the guy who said no QB's in the 1st 2 rounds, that's nuts there will be atleast 4 QB's with 1st round grades, could be more considering who comes out. You really need to go study the college game if you think that about the QB's. |

I know you like Harper and all and he has the size and talent but he's also playing on a team that has a better RB tandem than half of the NFL, I think that may be a question with him, I doubt any team prepares for him they prepare for those RB's.

Harper won't make an elite QB, but a good starter for the right squad.

Stafford has probally the second best backfield behind him as well. Also it might depend what Florida decides to do with Tebow, if they put him in the pocket and let him throw instead of run he might jump up big time.

Kitna was more than serviceable, and was also in his early-mid thirties, IIRC. (33, maybe?) Why would you NOT take Palmer there? And I think you confused what I'm trying to say. The Bengals situation back in 2003 and our situation in 2009 are COMPLETELY different. They took Palmer knowing that Kitna was still going to play another year or two. Under this scenario, there wouldn't be anyone WORTH playing ahead of Stafford. IN OUR CASE, the whole reason you're drafting him is because Croyle has failed. Again, don't compare the two situations, they are nothing alike. |

Ok that's fine but I don't think it's wise to put a guy out there before he's ready, if he's Matt Ryan and shows he's ready then he starts right away, if he doesn't maybe it comes in week 4 or 6 or whatever. I just wouldn't throw him out there before he felt comfortable and looked ready.

i feel that it depends on the mental makeup of the player, some are screwed if they take a beating they get their spirit broke so to say, some rise above and become far better players from it. the problem is you dont know until it happens. its not something you can grade out at the combine

To quote cousin Eddie, "You serious about that Clark?!" If Croyle is not the answer, we have got to hit on a QB next year. FA QB's rarely ever pay off.

As long as Chan Gailey is around, I say throw him in there and let him learn to dance. Chan will work the game around him, much like I expect him to do with BC.

Trent and Montana really were not free agents. We spent a #1 draft pick for each of them.
The reason I brought this up is because there may be some options out there next season like this one. Anderson from Cleveland possibly. I'm not sure if this option interests me very much at this time, but who knows by next April. |

Russell wasn't thrown in by any definition. He was brought along pretty slowly, really, getting a little game action for a few weeks before getting a good amount to finish out the season and head into year two. I really like how Oakland handled him, and I'd probably do the same. Increase the workload as the QB develops, along with the OL, etc.
