Go on Record with the 2008 QB Prospects

[MahiMike]

We're a day away from the draft and we still don't know who is even going #1. This year's crop of QB's is clearly inferior to last year's crop. Thank GOD we got Mahomes when we did!

That being said, it's time to go on record with YOUR predictions on this class. Please rank using these 3 options;

1. Bust
2. Wins a playoff game
3. With his team 10 years from now.

Here's mine:

Josh Allen - (3) He's Carson Wentz' little brother. Big guy with a big arm that comes from a tough weather environment. Would be Cleveland's best pick IMO. IF they sit him a year like Mahomes, he could be Cleveland's savior.

Josh Rosen - (2) Has the potential to be an Aaron Rodgers. Can come in right now and win. Has the brain of Aaron too. I see some team getting a gritty Kirk Cousins kinda guy. That said, he doesn't win a playoff game until his 2nd team.

Baker Mayfield - (2) Depending on the team he goes to, can win a playoff game quickly in his career. I see Mahomes in this guy with a winner mentality. Problem is, these windows in the NFL are tighter than college. Seems like all of his highlights has no defenders within 5 yards.

Sam Darnold - (1) Bust. I like the kid a lot and was even more impressed with his decision to not drink or do drugs early in life. He's driven and mature. That being said, I just have a gut feeling he's another Matt Leinert.

Lamar Jackson - (1) Bust. This guy is even more of an enigma than Mayfield. Another love/hate kinda guy. I have friends that are Louisville fans and watched him quite a bit. I never saw this guy look at more than one receiver before taking off and running. That doesn't fly in the NFL. This and the 13 on the Wunderlic says he's another Vince Young.

Matt Ryan (Gonna have a great career).
Joe Flacco (He'll win a Super Bowl, but be pretty mediocre other than that.)

But I could definitely see Chad Henne be a backup for the Chiefs in about 10 years.

[Why Not?]

Matt Ryan is pretty good and Joe Flacco won a SB. Otherwise a pretty meh QB class

[BigBeauford]

Matt Ryan - Above average, wins 2 playoff games
Joe Flacco - Superbowl winner
Chad Henne- Career backup
Alex Brink - Last picked

Damn! Just beat me to it! Nice job. Plus you used better sarcasm anyway.

The Chiefs will continue their steak of not drafting a QB in the 1st round, and instead trot out a combination of Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen and Damon Huard.

[ChiefsCountry]

We need to wait until 2009 and draft Mark Sanchez instead.

[Frosty]

We need to wait until 2009 and draft Mark Sanchez instead.

Knowing the Chiefs, they'll probably just reach for a bust D lineman or something, ala Sims.

[The Franchise]

I’d keep an eye on Matt Cassel in New England. He’s one injury away from blowing this league up.

[Ming the Merciless]

I think John David Booty sounds like he has a bright future....in gay porn

Nah, he’s overrated.

Wait till 2010 for Sam Bradford.

That kids gonna be like Troy Aikman.

wbf (we be fucked)

GLENN DORSEY

[Coochie liquor]

I just saw a kid at a peewee football game. He was killing it. Throwing strikes way downfield. I think he’ll be eligible for the draft in about 9 years. He’s gonna be a star... names Patrick Mahomes II, if all else fails we should zero in on him the year he comes out. Has SUPERSTAR written all over him!!

[ModSocks]

Why worry about a QB? Defense wins championships.

Or a really, really solid O-line. I think we should draft a LG.

[WhawhaWhat]

GLENN DORSEY

No way he falls to us.

[MahiMike]

sigh. Thread fail. Can a Mod help me out with the thread title please?

[CaliforniaChief]

LMAO LMAO

[tooge]

No, this game is much better

[tooge]

Forget QB. I'd go Vernon Gohlston. Dude was a beast at the combine. Can't miss type, and we need more D

[MahiMike]

So stupid you can edit your post but not the title. Stoopid website is stoopid.

[Rasputin]

Guns N Roses is putting out a new album called Chinese Democracy. Get a free Dr Pepper.

[saphojunkie]

First thing McCain is gonna do as president is ban all these dumbass "iPhones". WHO NEEDS THIS SHIT - NO ONE IS BUYING THEM ANYWAY. TOO EXPENSIVE

[CaliforniaChief]

I'm thinking of moving some things around financially...

Amazon stock seems really high around $70/share. I'm thinking about going all in on Sears and Toys R Us...maybe moving into speculative real estate.

Amirite?

[BigBeauford]

I just took a really good ARM loan on a new home, with an awesome rate! I can't believe the bank let me get a $500,000 house throwing newspapers!

[Bewbies]

Man, I was so excited for that 2008 Draft. I wanted Ryan or Dorsey so bad.

And then a couple hours before our party started I got a phone call from my mom and brother informing me my youngest brother had just been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Never forget that day, for all the reasons I wish never happened.

[Chiefspants]

I'm excited. I said in the "Will the Chiefs or Royals win a playoff game first" that one of these QB's will guarantee that the CHIEFS will be the firs to do it.

Outside of football - I just have a good feeling that Half Life 3 is going to be announced soon.

I'm also really pumped that they announced an adaptation for George RR Martin's ASOIAF. I also know they wouldn't be moving forward with that if they weren't confident he would finish the series in the next decade.

I've given up on Duke Nukem Forever, though. That thing is never getting released.

[Beef Supreme]

Half Life 3 confirmed!

[dj56dt58]

Fuck football..the housing market is about to go to shit! We're all fucked

[KC_Lee]

None of this trivial nonsense matters, the world is ending in 4 short years, the Mayans predicted it!!!!

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This thread has been pretty funny—but I’ll try to steer things in the direction you were going for Mahi.

1. Rosen
2. Darnold
3. Mayfield (Probably a bust but in the right spot maybe not. Would want him to sit and be humbled)
4. Allen (Not a fan)
5. Jackson (unless he goes to a place like NE who will make it work at all costs)

Who has time to scout pop warner?

[RockChalk]

So what if we lost 8 in a row to end the season. I really like what Croyle showed the 2nd half of the season and I really think Kolby Smith is going to be a Top 3 RB in the league. I've heard he's really training hard this offseason.

Look for Tank and Turk to BEAST this year, too.

[raybec 4]

Bumping this 10 year old thread for the draft. Gives everyone a chance to see how their predictions came out.

[JakeF]

All basically bust.

ROFL
A few people really nailed it with their predictions.

[rydogg58]

My god. I love this place sometimes. Hilarious.

If you changed the title this awesome thread would end. We don't want that. On the other hand, if you could change it, there would be some confused people reading the first 20-30 comments.
