So some of you want a "risk" pick NOW? We have a top 5 pick for the first time in a long long time, and NOW you want the franchise to take a risk with it?

On a QB that has been highly questioned by many scouts? Including the author of the article..

Wow.... sounds like we're desperate for a Brady/Manning clone...

Why gamble on a maybe when there will be guys there that carry much much less risk?

Yeah, who wants a Brady/Manning clone. Franchise QBs are for losers.

So we should gamble on a QB just because he's (questionably) at the top of a poor QB draft class?

When the guy who wrote the article says right away that he doesn't even think Ryan is the best QB in the class?

Wanting a franchise QB is one thing..... taking this big of a gamble on a guy like this is another....

Of course you do realize that Brady was a what, 6th round pick? You give most any QB good time and talent around him, he will respond and do well. But if he doesn't have that around him you better pray he is Favre if you expect him to succeed and not wind up a shellshocked husk of what you drafted.

There are not very many Favre's in the world.

Because high risks sometimes bring huge rewards? Peyton Manning himself wasn't a lead pipe lock to be a success.

Exactly. Everyone wants to act like Peyton was this no-risk prospect when he came out, but in reality most people thought Leaf should have been the #1 pick.

Peyton had the stigma of a choker that folded in the clutch, since he lost to Florida every year and never took UT to the NC game.

What about the 1997 Orange Bowl against Nebraska?
Had Tennessee won they may have shared with Michigan.

BTW the Huskers would have destroyed Michigan but that's another argument for another day.

Considering that you wouldn't have been in that game if not for an incorrectly called touchdown pass, consider yourself fortunate anyway.

I prefer to call it divine intervention.

That's true however, I am fairly confident Peyton wouldn't be successful in any season where he took 55 sacks and the offense only ran for 79 yards per game.

Its OK. We'll likely have a top 5 pick next season.
