I can live with Cassel another season if it means RG3 crosses that stage in a Chiefs hat.

Yes, but I don't think Griffin needs to sit a year. His coaches told him if he wanted to move on that he had to improve on his pocket passing. He has most certainly done that. Also, the kid is bright. Already finished his undergrad degree and is working on a masters from Baylor. Baylor isn't a cakewalk type of school. So I think he'll be mentally ready on day 1 too.

Oh, and **** Mark castle.

Last year the two guys I absolutely thought needed that year or two on the bench to grow were Ponder and Newton.

Both have come out throwing far better than any expected.

I figured Dalton would be a solid B/U and marginal starter.

Probably why me and Kiper comment and aren't out there drafting.

We'll all have our favorites but the one thing I do know is that you can't have a QBOTF if you don't draft one...

hehe yup. I knew Dalton would be a good starter but I figured it would take a couple years. Being a TCU alum, I've watched him from his freshman year. The improvements he made every year and his attitude for me were enough to show that he was going to be alright.
