I abso-****ing-lutely disagree. He's far too iffy to be worth going after when there are actual elite-level talents available, and spending #5
QB money on him is just crazy. He
may be the best of a weak crop (I still think Brohm is more likely to be a solid NFL QB than Ryan), but that doesn't mean you should just cross your fingers and wish for the best.

C) We haven't had a good franchise QB since Len Dawson (Joe doesn't count, Trent was pretty good but benefited from system)
D) We haven't had the opportunity to draft a potentially great QB in a long time

We don't this year, either. Again, if you want to take a QB, that's fine, but do it at a reasonable spot. Take Brohm at 17 or later, but don't turn down the very rare chance to get someone like Gholston or Dorsey just because you're jonesing for a QB and there's a warm body who plays the position around.

E) He has a great head on his shoulders. I've been following his blog and interviews. Great attitude, smart kid. A good mind is the most important attribute for a QB

Joey Harrington was beyond clutch in college and is a smart, charming, laid-back guy. That didn't make him the stud I wanted him to be.
