I read somewhere a couple weeks ago, that Stafford has Carson Palmer type of tools, and thats something you dont see very often

Stafford has a better combination of pedigree and upside than any QB in the previous two draft classes.

I don't know about that. He's got the arm strength and the build, but his mechanics aren't nearly as good as Palmer's, which were pretty much immaculate. They called him The Human Juggs Machine, and it wasn't because he liked titties. That's not to say he couldn't be Palmer, but he's not the refined product that Palmer was, who was a complete package.

Yet the majority of ppl on this board cant get off of Quinn's knob.

Stafford reminds me alot of Jay Cutler if you want my honest opinion.

I think a lot of that just stems from the fact that Bradford has a local feel to him because he's a Big 12 prospect. This fan base has always been really insular in how it regards prospects. Hell, even management was Big X, Big XII crazy in the 90's.

There is always a QB with a top 5 grade.

Would you like to have Matt Ryan cause I would...good chance Stafford has a higher grade on him than Ryan did.

How many underclassman QB's were drafted in the first round the last 8 or so years and how have they done in the NFL? ( I don't have the answer, I'm just curious).

You know that is a really good question, however I'm not sure how much it completely applies to Stafford he has been starting since he was a freshman, if he starts every game this year he'll have 35 starts after his junior year is over.

That is completely accurate, despite what some on here may lead you to believe. Myself, Mecca, and others have said Stafford has elite tools and should tear up the combine, but the only question is if he takes the big step forward in production on the field.

Personally, he reminds me a lot of Eli Manning as a junior at Ole Miss. Everyone knew he had the tools to be an All Pro QB and a #1 overall pick, but we were just waiting to see him actually follow-through on it.

Stafford is barely into his junior season and plays in a fairly conservative offense, but a couple times a game he'll make passes that no one else in the country can make. The guy is a stud, and by the end of the year he will be a no-brainer top five pick.

Lets also realize that even though he has Moreno he has very pedestrian WR's the first real WR he's gotten to work with is AJ Green who is a true freshman and already their best WR.

The next 5 weeks Georgia has a brutal schedule. We'll see if Stafford can step up consistently.

i hope so

OK going back here's a list of underclassmen QB's.....there aren't alot of them by the way, in no particular order. This is all of them taken in the 1st round as you see there aren't alot...
