I don't think that's what he's saying, Brock.

I think he's saying that it's a mistake to draft a QB with our first pick for no other reason than we need one.

If there's a guy worthy, then great.

But to pick a guy that's not worthy, just because we need a QB is reeruned.

Just because the consensus of this forum thinks that Stafford is the next coming of Christ, doesn't mean he's worthy of a #1 or #2 overall pick.

We'll see in April...

I dont understand all the hate on Thigpen..its not like he's sucked for 10 years and had one good game..He's a young 7th round draft pick who had a hell of a game and could be starting to put things together..he said it just started to click..thats how a lot of good qbs have come about..they got some playing time and it clicked one game and they never looked back. The plays he made on Sunday did nothing to make me think that this was just a fluke, but we'll see

he showed me we has great poise, and of course a rocket arm. The throws to Tony Gonzalez, and Mark Bradley were perfect, were only the reciever could reach it. now he just needs to stay consistent, and maybe the coaching staff with put him in good spots to make plays...hm, maybe we shouldve passed on that 3rd down lol, instead of running Smith left side 3 plays in a row...thats why Herm and Chan Gailey suck

Absolutely. If the coaching staff falls in love with a QB (not that that means anything when it comes to this staff's ability to rate QBs) then they should grab him, no doubt. They were flirting around with Matt Ryan, and as it turns out, looks like would've been a good pick despite the objections of many around here.

But what you never, ever, EVER want to do going into a draft is think that you HAVE to draft a certain position #1. Guaranteed recipe for disaster. If no QB strikes their fancy, then the highly rated O-linemen in this draft or Crabtree would be awfully good picks IMHO.
