gimmesix;4697835 said:Of the guys listed here, I'd consider Coale, Lemon, Hamilton, Leary, Carpenter, Smith, Bass, Benford, Dunbar and Szczerba for the practice squad. That's along with two players already cut, Raymond Radway and Charley Hughlett.
I would think we should be able to get eight of those 12 back.
If all were available, I'd leave out Smith, Carpenter, Szczerba and Hughlett.
Bluestang;4697893 said:Because McGee has not shown improvement over the last few years.
He still holds onto the ball too long and has no pocket awareness.
KB1122;4697929 said:That's the thing, though. Quarterback development is an NFL myth. The idea that you take a quarterback in the fourth round, and if he spends the next four years eating vitamins, studying the playbook, and getting to bed on time he'll lead you eventually to the Super Bowl is a huge NFL myth. Apparently it's a myth our front office believed at one time.
If I used a fourth round pick on a qb, which I absolutely wouldn't, I would expect him to be no more than a backup and no more. A number two if you're lucky. A number three if not. That's what McGee is, essentially.

KB1122;4697946 said:Fourth rounders who won the Super Bowl ..... Joe Theismann. And he started his rookie year in Toronto.
Kilyin;4697947 said:I'm not even gonna bother. You should just close your browser and come back later.
CooterBrown;4697939 said:Yeah, and a 9th rounder (Unitas) or a 6th rounder (Brady) or an undrafted free agent (Romo) shouldn't even show up at an NFL training camp cause they will just be wasting roster space. Why draft a QB in the FOURTH round??
KB1122;4697950 said:Unitas I believe would be a third-rounder in today's NFL. Brady started his rookie year. He didn't develop on the bench. And I might use a sixth rounder on a qb with a funky college career, like Brady, or Johnson. I would use a sixth rounder ahead of a fourth rounder.
Has Romo won a Super Bowl? I forget.

Kangaroo;4697955 said:Brady threw 3 passes his rookie year 1 for 3 then he started 15 games his second year when Bledsoe took a hit and was lose for the majority of the season
KB1122;4697962 said:Fair enough. But almost never will you see a qb ride pine for a few years and later win a championship, unless he's a high pick. This is particularly true of the fourth round. There are a scatterling of examples, but that's it.
My point is that a quarterback either has that talent or not and usally fourth-rounders do not. Brady went late, but he had the talent, and was a starter by his second year. Same is true of Montana. There is almost never a long apprenticeship that helps a mid-round pick.
