Thoughts on future QB's

[superpunk]

Too soon.

We're not going to get any of those guys anyway. We drafted McGee with the first pick in the 4th round to groom him.

Besides a cheap veteran, we have our QB for the next 3-5 years on this team.

You do not spend a 4th round pick to groom someone to be a starting QB in the NFL.

Well, you don't groom him to be a backup. But you also can't rely on him developing.


And it's amazing to see Locker getting this much draft attention all of a sudden. Before Sarkisian arrived, Locker wasn't considered a very good passer (good arm, but not good mechanics or accuracy). Now, all of a sudden, there is talk of him being a potential No. 1 overall pick in 2011. He still needs to work on his accuracy, though.

For his sake, I hope he stays in college for his senior season. With two years under Sarkisian, he could really develop before getting thrown into the NFL.

I can see you have not watched Bradford play. I have seen almost all of Bradford's games and he is a stud, durability is the only question.

How exactly is this a knee-jerk post??? The OP asked what people thought of the QBs on the list and in my opinion, Bradford is the best.

How exactly is this a dumb post??? Apparently you have not watched the QBs play on the list since you have no opinion on the matter.

Strange respone???

I have watched Bradford play. In college.

And my response was triggered by your reference to Felix being glass.

Stephen McGee.

From all I've heard McGee has all the natural abilities you would want in a QB. I guess my thought as I watched him in preseason is that he reminded me a lot of Drew Henson. I don't want to get bit by that bug twice. In other words, McGee looked stiff and like he was THINKING a lot. If they can (or experience can) get him out of that, then fine. But athletic and can't play I've had enough of.

 

[Don Corleone]

I can't even think of QBs right now. The one we have right now is a tease as it is. Watching the maturation of a rookie just might drive me to drinking again.

I was mostly kidding, because it's like people forgot that we just drafted a QB only a few months ago.

But I will say that I don't think McGee is anything like Henson. Henson was the wonderboy superstar athlete since high school who didn't seem to have much feel for the game. McGee is the gritty "football player" type who is super tough and a good leader. If anything, I don't know if McGee has the pure talent to be a great starting QB. He might be a good bus driver type that the team likes to rally around and play for, though. Actually, maybe kind of like Orton.

 

[UnoDallas]

if our looking for guy that can actually throw the ball and does not make mistakes

Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan
Height: 6-3. Weight: 226.
Projected 40 Time: 4.80.
Projected Round (2010): 6-7.
2/4/09: Dan LeFevour threw for 2,784 yards, 21 touchdowns and just six picks as a junior. He also rushed for 592 yards. His YPA (7.4) and completion percentage (66.8) were both pretty solid.

5/1/08: Looking to be the next talented NFL quarterback from the MAC, Dan LeFevour threw for 3,652 yards, 27 touchdowns and only 13 picks in 2007. He completed 65.4 percent of his passes, and rushed for 1,122 yards and 19 scores.

Felix has been plagued with injuries since he was drafted, this to me means he is soft. He cant be relied upon to stay healthy.

If Felix proves me wrong, I will gladly eat crow. However, I didnt see Felix playing yesterday and he probably wont play next week either.

Prove me wrong Felix, show me you can be a durable back that can play week in and week out.

They are all projected 1st or 2nd rounders .

I mis-spoke in my previous post, sorry. Of course they will be drafted, agree 100%, they won't last long as starters if they ever make it to that level though. I think pretty much everyone one on this board knows what happens to the majority of QBs picked in the first two rounds, ESPECIALLY big 12 qbs.

 

[utrunner07]

I would agree with you that McCoy, Bradford and Clausen have a great chance of flaming out, but I think Locker is a lock (no pun intended) to have a starter's career in the NFL.

Sorry, I mis-posted. I agree with this here. Except Locker being a lock. He is more likely to be successful than the rest but thats not saying much. either way, i don't think we draft him, shoot, we won't draft a QB in the first four rounds period this year.

 

[SharutoX]

I want michael vick so we run the ball every play.

I might be wrong about this, but I really believe we need to start taking the BEST PLAYER available, regardless of position, unless we are so set at that position that we would be ridiculously deep there. I think if Locker were to fall to us and we didn't take him, we would be crazy. But thats just me.

 

[Plumfool]

Well I want a winner and of those McCoy seems to be best suited.

Stephen McGee.

The reason he looked stiff and like he was thinking too much is because he was. But it's because he is a very very raw rookie. That is normal. Two or three years being nurtured (like Romo) can be good for him. He is a project, but he has very good upside. He certainly has all the tools. And he has 'pedigree'.

CowboyMike, I agree with you about him being raw and his potential upside, but I wouldn't identify him as having pedigree. I think I know what you mean, he came from a major program and all, but pedigree to me means a 1st round kind of guy and McGee wasn't that.

By pedigree, I mean talent and upbringing. McGee was the top recruit coming out of high school, and lit it up back then. It's not his fault A&M switched to the option offense. But despite that, he made the best of it and played well. And I do think if he had ended up at Texas or USC or some place like that, he'd have been a higher round pick.

Gotcha. Well, I sure hope you are right. Who knows, maybe the future is already on the roster.
