2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)

There's a lot of raw throwers in college to keep our eyes on -- even though we're probably taking a QB high in 2012 -- in future years. Wilson, Tyler Bray, Aaron Murray, Casey Pachall, and a few others.

throw in brynn renner, logan thomas, and derek carr (david carr's little brother)

I don't really know if Cousins is a good fit here or anywhere as a starter quite honestly.

I know I've said I've heard the Skins aren't interested in Barkley...but I also don't believe it. The more I watch of him I can't see why we wouldn't be. A lot of people suspect though that the Browns will do whatever it takes to ensure they get him...if he comes out.

Which brings me back to something else I had brought up a while back. Rumor is Colt McCoy might be available. So if he was and we didn't get a QB in the 1st, what's more tempting-draft a guy like Moore in the 3rd or 4th or trade that pick for McCoy?

Here's a very good article by Michael Silver on McCoy, apparently his old OC was a total dick:

McCoy develops thick skin after rookie hazing - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AuceNjEaDyjOdHgQFoCq7Bs5nYcB?slug=ms-silver_colt_mccoy_browns_brian_daboll_112411)

That's a good article

My top QB's for 2012 draft

Luck- 1st pick 1st round
Barkley- top 5 1st rounder
RGIII/Landry Jones 5-10 1st round
Russell Wilson 2nd round (mid to late)
Weeden 3rd round pick
Tannehill 2nd to 3rd round pick
Cousins
Foles
Lindley sleeper pick
Keenum
Moore

I'd take colt McCoy

Wow, last week it was all he did was throw deep and acurate. I'll defer cause I honestly don't watch a ton of college FB but I've noticed that LSU is winning and winning big most of it's games. On top of that they are ranked #1 which would lead me to believe they have a good QB that makes good decisions. .... and no one has been talking about him. At all.


Ever hear of a QB from LSU named Russell? He looked great also in college. All kidding aside Jefferson just might be something to think about, but then LSU is in a league of its own. It boggles the mind why the NCAA doesn't investigate schools like OU or LSU. I mean please, Louisiana is a total shithole minus the Big Easy, and then even that isn't all that either. Same with Oklahoma, another average state university in a rather shitty state, but they have all these kids coming in to play football from all over the place.

russell wilson is about 5-10/5-11,i doubt he will be a 2nd rounder.

and guys, jordan jefferson seriously? hes not any good. hes never looked all that great. lsu wins with excellent defense, not good quarterback play.

Whoever wrote that they heard a rumor that Luck may stay, let me kill that rumor now. He was on ESPN with Steve Young a few weeks ago, and Steve asked him if it was his last year at Stanford. Andrew said Yes it is.

And yes, this QB class is 3 great QB's (should they all declare), 2 potentially good QB's, and a bunch of back ups and busts.

Don't bother with Matt Flynn, he seems like a Kevin Kolb all over again. Go with the unknown, rather than the known or somewhat known. BTW part of the reason Flynn did so good against the Pats was because they didn't know what to expect from him.

Funny seeing how most of the LSU players are from the state of Louisana. And Jarett Lee has never looked great.

I think that both Barkley and Landry would be smart to enter the draft. I truly don't understand how any player who would probably be picked in the Top 10 in the draft would stay in school. I know that some players can get insurance against injury but I think that if I were that player's parent I would advise him to come out and get the money while he can. It's just too risky to stay in school when there is so much money at stake.

Money's not the most important factor when it comes to certain kids. It usually makes sense for those who need it more than others, but Barkley comes from a financially stable family (he was born in Newport Beach).

In terms of why he'd stay? How about the return of all of the important skill players (in addition to possibly Kalil), the chance to win a ring and the potential to smash all quarterback records at USC. He's suffered through the sanctions... one more year may have been the reason he stayed.

Having said that, it would be unreal if he went from the cardinal and gold to the B&G.
