If you actually watched any Arkansas games you would know that they run a lot of bootlegs. You don't have to be a mobile qb to run the bootleg successfully on a consistent basis.

Oh I know, like I said Schaub was able to operate in KS's offense just fine. I'll defer to you on your opinion that Mallett can run boots. I admit I haven't seen a ton of him in action.

Does anyone have anymore insight on possible differences between Kyle's version of the offense and Mike's version, and who has more influence over the actual plays ran because I feel if such a difference exist it would help shed some light on what the Skins are looking for in a QB.

Look at the run/pass ratio of the MS Broncos vs. the Texans while KS was there. HUGE disparity. IMO we're better off with KS's offense with a higher percentage of power runs instead of the ZB/PA scheme.

nice post! I agree and if I wasn't so lazy I could have constructed a similar response lol.

If the rankings were based on leadership, character , heart ETC. Jake locker would be the number 1 overall pick

[Chico23231]

K ready to mock

1. Panthers- Cam
2. Broncos- Dareus
3. Bills- Gabbert
4. Bengals- AJ Green
5. Cards- Miller
6. Browns- Julio Jones
7. 49ers- Peterson
8. Titans- Quinn
9. Cowb*tches- Smith
10. Skins- Locker

Ive changed my mind, I dont think Shanny lets Locker slide. I think if Peterson is not there at 7, 49ers are working phones and will find a partner to trade out.

[skinsfaninok]

^ SF wants Peterson dude.

But maybe now TB is in the "need a DB list"

Troubled Aqib Talib all but gone from Tampa Bay Buccaneers - St. Petersburg Times

[53Fan]

^ Wow. I'm really glad we didn't draft that idiot. At one point it was speculated he'd be our first pick.

[diehard]

I like Taylor as much, if not better than Locker, Dalton, Kaepernick, and Newton. Take care of other needs early then draft Taylor later on.

[skinsfaninok]

^ tyrod Taylor? Ok my Man you've ate too much Easter chocolate today. Taylor isn't an NFL QB he is too small and not accurate enough. Great athlete but so was pat white

A 5th round project or bust doesn't set a franchise back as much as a 1st or 2nd round does when you have very few picks and too many holes to fill.

How many late round athlete qb's pan out? I can't think of any. Brady, Cassell, Schaub are the only established late round picks I can think of. All are guys with more heart than athletic ability. Also I can't think of any short athletic qb's that pan out. You need height. A project is one thing, a wasted pick is another.

Brees and Vick should come to mind but, my point is this; if the reason the FO is loving Locker's atheleticism and mobility outside of the pocket, why risk a first or second round pick on him? Other than Locker's prototypical height, what projects him to be a better QB at the next level? I'm not starting a lovefest for Taylor, just being sensible. There's a lot of "too short" players in the league that where given a chance who have panned out. I'd put my money on Taylor against Locker competing for the starting job on the same team anyday. Let's see what happens...

I'm not sure what 'athlete' has to do with it but off the top of my head here are some:

IIRC Matt Hasselbeck, Mark Brunell, Kyle Orton (who I believe started as rookie 4th round pick), Ryan Fitzpatrick, Marc Bulger, does Colt McCoy count?, David Garrard, Tony Romo (undrafted), Kurt Warner (undrafted), Jake Delohomme (undrafted), Aaron Brooks ?,
