The Goat 02-16-2012, 04:08 PM Also... MARK SCHLARETH came on ESPN yesterday and stated that this "4th surgery" was more of a procedure than an actuall surgery.
Much different in notation. A knee getting drained is a procedure for example, and a repair to a broken bone is a surgery.
This story is so overblown.
Word. I had a "procedure" in my bathroom last week...popped a nasty pimple on my shoulder...I better hang up my workouts at the gym!!
EARTHQUAKE2689 02-16-2012, 04:09 PM Also I just want to add, does anyone think the Giants regret giving up two first and a third for Eli Manning? I mean for Gods sake the Chargers got 3 Pro Bowlers in that trade yet the Giants now have 2 Super Bowls.
No, no, and no.
EARTHQUAKE2689 02-16-2012, 04:13 PM Todd McShay thinks RG3 will either be a Redskin or a Cleveland Brown. Says he'd be surprised if he fell below the number 2 spot.
I think RGIII will be a Redskin too. Whether it be pick 2,3,4 or 6.

That's hindsight. Had Eli flopped, would they have regretted it? Sure as hell would. However, that team had a bunch talent on it when Eli got drafted. They were only 2 years removed from a Super Bowl appearance and vastly underperformed that prior year. We aren't that team with a good talented base to be giving up that many picks for a gamble. Not now. In the future, sure.
Do the Falcons regret giving up those picks for Vick?
Do the Chargers regret giving up those picks for Leaf?
SkinzWin 02-16-2012, 04:26 PM Do you think a 69 Ford Mustang Mach 1 429 Cobra Jet would work? I got one of those!! :)
I want to see! I have a lowly 1970 Mustang Fastback 302... :(
EARTHQUAKE2689 02-16-2012, 04:27 PM Fact is Eli didn't flop, they won two Super Bowls, so they don't regret it. There comes a time when you gotta take the risk. If you never take the risk, your reward will never be as high as you want. Sure the higher the risk the higher the potential failure, but that's better than hovering in mediocrities your whole life.

Now is not the time. We are in the middle of a rebuild. Sure you take risks, but you have to know when to take them.

Sure the higher the risk the higher the potential failure, but that's better than hovering in mediocrities your whole life.To be clear, I doubt Beathard regrets trading up for Ryan Leaf (he took a risk after all), but that doesn't mean I would recommend he do it again.

This is the time though. If last year, heck the last decade, is any indication it's that this team will go no where without a QB.
I can understand passing on Blaine Gabbert but in our division we need a QB to compete with the likes of Romo, Manning, and Vick. Griffin is capable of not only playing to their level but surpassing them.
Plus keep in mind QB's take time to develop. So say we get everything in place. Line, defense, receivers, running back. Then after all that we draft a QB. By the time that QB fully develops all those supporting players will be either near the end of their prime or past it. Pretty much every supporting position has a much quicker turnaround time then any rookie QB.
It is exponentially easier to find 2 Ryan Kerrigan's and a Leonard Hankerson then it is to find a franchise QB.
