Team in position to draft a talent QB early in the draft, and the GM elects to go with a known commodity. It's remarkable, frankly, how long this organization has gone without drafting a QB in round 1. Remarkable.

Now, Pioli brings the jewelry, and this means an awful lot. An awful lot, but still...

I certainly agree that the circumstances are similar. But it's like pitting the Blind Boys of Alabama vs. a Navy Seal team in a Capture The Flag contest.

You know, NFL teams don't spend high draft picks on young quarterbacks because they want to. They draft them because they have to. If they already had someone who was capable of leading the team to victories, winning seasons, and playoff berths for the next 10 years, they'd draft another position.
