I don't think the Mallett/Locker thing is about safe/unsafe. I think you know exactly what you are getting in Jake Locker based on what he did in college. For a team whose ultimate aspiration is to some day be .500, well, Locker just proved he can do that. Disaster games and all.

You know what, check this out:

Jay Cutler Statistics | College Football at Sports-Reference.com

Jake Locker Statistics | College Football at Sports-Reference.com

Those are probably the two most similar draft prospects in history. One does appear to be clearly better than the other, but those were very similar supporting casts in very similar environments.

And, you know, Mike Shanahan and such.
