Drafting a first round QB is risky?

I read somewhere recently that Quinn plans on playing in the Senior Bowl. Very smart.

Didn't like him at Texas. Don't like him now.
 
Simms dad is saying that Son of Phil will now be traded to the Cowboys... How does that make any sense?... Why would he forego free agency and a chance to be a starter to go and back up Tony Romo?....


With that, I'll now amend my prediction... either a released David Carr or a released Jake Plummer will be our QB next year ::praying Denver trades Plummer somewhere:: :D

The only thing that makes sense is they duped him into signing a contract by telling him they wanted him back but they really were only interested in extending him for trade purposes.

I've read the Skins might shop Betts.

What a shitty thing to do a player. The guy forgoes free agency to sign a below market contract to stay and then gets traded. Thats fucked up if it happens.

Teams have excess cap space. So this is like buying say a 3rd round draft pick for $3 million dollars.
 
Is drafting a QB riskier then going into the season with Just Walter, Since we all feel Tui and Brooks will be gone?

hard to say if the replacement also gets sacked 46 times in about 12 games of work(with some of them not being a full game for extra wonder of how we give up sacks).

I heard on Tampa Sportstalk that his wife wanted to stay put in Tampa. I don't know how much validity that had but none of this makes sense.

Stolen from another board, that I won't link, cuz that's not cool.

the guy makes some interesting points, and I wanted to show all the people who are thinking we can't go in that direction in April:



Also consider that guys like Harrington and Ramsey, Campbell and Couch all busted (Or look like busting) for teams that have notoriously weak GM's or scouting departments...

Something to consider, IMO.

A quick count makes it look like 25% of the first rounders (50% of the top ten picks) end up playoff and or Pro Bowl bound
50% look servicable as starters in the NFL and possibly even top tier guys.
25% look like backups or busts.

Worth the risk from where I sit.

The theory holds true. Take a swing.
