Sounds like he is describing Luck and Barkley.

Re: 2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)
 

Heard Michael Lombardi on Inside the NFL saying that he believes that Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck Can NOT exist. He said he would hate to be the GM who has to deal with the situation and has heard that the Colts would love to have Peyton, the known, be their QB next year, instead of Luck, the unknown. He said that the Colts don't have to solve their QB problems now, and that they can solve them next year, or later in the draft...(stay tuned)

[quote=30gut;866371]I hope Philly gets rid of Reid and Morningwhig goes with him.
Removing the offensive staff from Philly will set that team back for awhile and all but erase them from contention.

But, I don't think Philly is that dumb.
The perception is that Vick has regressed, but I don't think its evident with his play.
I think the team around him is worse on the OL at WR and Vick is suffering as consequent.
But, a metric I like to use for judging QB play is ESPN TQBR and they have Vick top 10 or near it and I think that is an accurate assessment of how he has played this season.[/quote]No, Vick hasn't regressed. He performed fine this year. It was just that last year his interception rate was fluky low and this year it is fluky high. The real Vick is somewhere in the middle. The WRs have been total trash this year. Maclin can't stay on the field and Jackson, at times, is a stiff. Riley Cooper is not a pro football player.

But at the same time, the idea that Vick is a franchise QB ignores that he can't play more than 12 games a season because of his durability. And their backup situation was better last year. I think Kafka will be ready for an extended role next year, they still need to address the position.

Where's the Heisman poll?

Re: 2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)
 

I think its a forgone conclusion that RG3is going to win the Heisman.........

[quote=Bill Walsh]The single trait that separates great quarterbacks from good quarterbacks is the ability to make the great, spontaneous decision, especially at a crucial time. The clock is running down and your team is five points behind. The play that was called has broken down and 22 players are moving in almost unpredictable directions all over the field.

This is where the great quarterback uses his experience, vision, mobility and what we will call spontaneous genius. He makes something good happen. This, of course, is what we saw in Joe Montana when he pulled out those dramatic victories for Notre Dame. [/quote]

THAT was quite a throw.

That was one hell of a sweet throw.

Re: 2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)
 

Well, he won it.
He'd look nice in burgundy and gold.

Re: 2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)
 

Give me RGIII over Barkley because he elevated the players around him. Everyone knows USC gets big time talent unlike Baylor gets lower level talent.

Re: 2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)
 

I still don't think it'll be either of those guys. I think the name you're going to hear a lot of next April in connection with the Skins is Tannehill

Re: 2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)
 

Ok so are drafting tannehill with the first pick, trading down, or waiting till second round?

It'd be nice to get blackmon with the first, and tannehil w/ the second. Overall, I'd prefer we'd not play a guessing game with a project QB. For once, I want that QB other fans wish they had... Can we please draft Barkley?

Re: 2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)

1. Andrew Luck
2a. Robert Griffin

I don't know. Maybe we'll take him with our first pick. Maybe Luck, Barkley, and RGIII won't be even be available even if they did want them. Maybe we'll add a 2nd first round pick by moving up from the 2nd round.

I really don't know. I could be totally wrong. A couple of years ago I had a feeling very early that we'd take Trent Williams...and we did. Last year I thought it was Robert Quinn...and we didn't (though I did have Kerrigan in my final mock). This year, I just have a feeling about Tannehill. I just think he's the guy the Shanahans are truly targeting
