NFL Draft Let's put all the QB talk right here

When you talk about QBs out of "Gimmick" offenses, one needs to look at Tennesee.

Steve McNair came out of the run and shoot, if I remember correctly, and the Oilers/Titans let him sit on the bench for a couple of years, giving him just a few meaningless snaps along the way.

He became a pretty good, albeit overrated, NFL QB.

Vince Young, on the other hand, was given the keys by the middle of his first season, and he wasn't progressing at all.

I think Tim Tebow has the physical tools to be a good NFL QB, but he'll need a couple of years to develop.

Matt Stafford is more NFL ready.

In the end, if Mark Sanchez came out early also, I'd rather have him, cause he just seems to have this indefinable quality that raises the level of play of everyone around him.
