I would say it's a smokescreen, but you don't need smoke when you're the first one out of the gate.

The only plausible explanation is that they just aren't sold on the QB's and intend to go in a different direction.

The only plausible explanation is that they're not going to tell anybody the truth right now.

I think they're trying to bait a team into trading up to #1. Not going to work this year but I think that's what they're trying to do at this point

For all the talk about this being a weak class, there sure are a lot of guys being talked about. There may not be a Luck or RG3, but there are a whole lot of solid late 1st or 2nd round guys.

Eric Berry.

2013 > 2011 or 2010

I'd rather have Geno, Barkley, Wilson, Nassib in a class. I think all of them have a good shot at being solid starting QBs. In the case of Geno and Wilson, I think either of them can be top 10 starting players, and I would even be willing to lend that possibility to Barkley provided he lands in the right system.

That's A LOT better than a draft with Bradford and herp derp. And personally, I think there's more potential here than what Newton, Locker, Gabbert, and Ponder can give you. When you factor in Kaepernick on the list of 2011, that's still just one guy. You have to account for the other 4 dead weights.

And **** Andy Dalton. Dude is nothing more than Kyle Orton.

none of these QBs will ever come close to putting up Cam Newton numbers

I'll go out and say at least two of them will put up more WINS.

Cool story.

Call me when Cam learns how to master a playbook longer than 50 pages and how to read defenses.

Right now he exploits holes in coverages and alignments with his legs and scrambling ability. Vick used to be the same way (only less accurate of a passer). It may be good now, but it's going to get a lot tougher as he gets older. And when he goes up against really tough teams in the playoffs (if he ever leads his team there) he's not going to be able to do his Cam Newton thing 100% and expect to win those games.

That being said, there's plenty of time for him to figure stuff out. He will one day. Most QBs do. In the meantime, while the NFL has changed to reflect wide open spread concepts and in some cases the read option, it's not college yet.

I am confused. Thought we signed Geno already.

EagleRob · 02-23-2013, 02:22 PM

Don't believe a thing that comes out of Reid's mouth between now and the moment the pick is used or traded. It's generic, patronizing, and meaningless.

Setsuna · 02-23-2013, 02:47 PM

Honestly. Clark Hunt will make the decision for them to draft Geno. That's pretty much all there is to that. Have faith in your no longer absentee owner.

ChiefMojo · 02-23-2013, 03:00 PM

No if we listen to our owner, we aren't taking a QB with the 1st pick.

Clark is almost as clueless as we are.
