Skinswinz I give u credit about CK you have sold me on him..
Lotus I agree that he has some more accuracy but Jakes accuracy isn't as bad as ppl think.. I'd love to draft him but I don't see us getting him unless it's at 10

All I said was that Shanny may like Kaep better than Locker.
Kaep has some tools but he really needs some seasoning before he's doing anything in the NFL, if then.
I'd still rather have Ponder.
No you wouldn't. (Jedi hand wave) You want Kaepernick. Kaepernick is better. You will be my second convert.

I'll keep an open mind. But I am a tough sell. Ponder has been my guy for months.

For what it's worth we've been underrating Locker in terms of accuracy. I was listening to the First Draft podcast today and one NFL GM told McShay that they had Locker as a 70% passer when he's outside the pocket and throwing on the run. Maybe other GM's have him slightly lower but the general consensus is that most of them have never seen a QB prospect that's as accurate as Locker when he's outside the pocket and on the run. The real problem is getting him comfortable in the pocket. If you can develop that you'll have a franchise QB.
I'm calling it now. Locker will be the Skins first pick in the draft. If Tebow is a first round pick, then Locker certainly is and I have to imagine that Shanahan is salivating over the prospect of adding Locker.

Come on. 70% outside the pocket has to count for something. I'm dying here. We're going to draft this guy and I'm still thinking in the back of my mind that he's just a younger version of McNabb.

Why is that a good thing when the actual McNabb was a failure in this offense?

Of course 70% outside the pocket is excellent. It is what happens inside the pocket which makes Locker worrisome.
Why not take a QB like Kaep who is accurate both in and out of the pocket? I'm not sure that Shanny isn't thinking the same thing.

I think he means speak for yourself in terms of underrating him
And this is for SkinzWin

We're going to draft this guy and I'm still thinking in the back of my mind that he's just a younger version of McNabb.Locker is my favorite QB prospect in this class if Kyle is gonna run a version of the offense more in keeping with a traditional Mike Shanahan Denver WCO as opposed to the pass heavy Texan's version that Kyle favors.
I actually agree with that Locker's accuracy from outside the pocket is excellent, it was my failed attempt at humor but not everyone has doubted Locker's accuracy.
