A missed opportunity that may be a blessing in disguise

[BAZ]

PFT says Jerry wanted to offer a 2nd and 3rd to move up to take Lynch, but Steven vetoed it.

Sometimes I really like Stephen.

 

[Nightman]

Exactly.

I don't get why everybody has such a boner for Lynch...........the dude lost by 3 TDs to a service academy

And against a 6-6 Auburn team team in the Birmingham Bowl, check out Lynch's stats............16/37 (less than 50% comp) for 106 and a pick.

Yea, dude screams franchise QB

All I ever saw were WR screens from the spread offense int he shotgun.

He never took a snap from center or took a 5-7 step drop. System QB with great size.

I like the idea of Jaylon/Collins/Prescott more than Paxton Lynch. I could be wrong and Lynch may be a stud. But with that wonderlic and with that breezy attitude, I just can't see the dude making it. He seems like Jay Cutler 2.0 to me. I like the package we got instead.

Jaylon, Collins & Prescott haven't taken an NFL snap, Jay Cutler is an 11 year veteran.

Not sure how you can prefer uncertainty to 11 years as a starting NFL QB, but it really doesn't matter what we think of Lynch.

The only question is if the team had him evaluated as a potential franchise QB. If that's the case, then you go get him. Broncos obviously think he's got a a shot, but what do the super bowl champs run by John Elway know about quarterbacks.

Well, they should hope a lot considering who they have starting at QB this year compared to the last few. Btw, this is the same team who had the Tebow, Orton, and Cutlers of the world before Payton. You just never know even with Elway at the head.

One of the first things Elway did was get rid of Tebow and how much would you have liked to have Orton on this roster last year?

Cutler hasn't even played a snap for the Broncos since 2008, Elway joined the team in 2011.

What we're talking about is if the Broncos have any idea what they're doing. It's clear that yes, they do.

Ehhh... We'll see. When you go from Payton to Mark Sanchez your qb position is murky at best. I've seen an adequate qb (Dilfer) take his team to the superbowl but Mark? Idk. I understand that's their situation because of the retirement but I don't think it's even clear to them how this is going to pan out. Best case Ravens with Dilfer. I'd like to find out the last low scoring wonderlic player that had a successful career. I'll get back to you on that.

Then he hi fives his father and back to thinking he'll turn eventually. I hear ya though, who knows JJ better to calm/influence, etc. when needed.

And Quincy had a high wonderlic score as well (30)...we know how that went down. But trends (in the article) say you would rather them hover around in the 30 or higher range. Still highly correlated with playoff QBs, albeit rare exceptions, etc.

It was reported that the Ravens wanted Elliott or Ramsey. Of course, the Ravens are now saying they wanted Ramsey.

Even so, we wanted Elliott. If you are certain on a player, you take him. PERIOD!

Let's stop trying to redo history. It's done.

I wasn't as high on Lynch as many others. The thing with Lynch is I've never seen him in an interview where he wowed me and from what I understand interviews are a big part of the draft process. Always came off as timid and unsure. Then someone posted his wonderlic score of what 7? Maybe 8? I'm glad we didn't bite.

For some reason, Dallas was impressed with him and met with him several times. Garrett was impressed, for all that is worth .
