Someone posted a stat in another thread that out of all the hall of fame qbs only 10 have been drafted after the 14th pick of the draft in the history of the NFL. I'm not knocking the value of the pick which was very good where Savage was selected but Russell Wilson has messed up everyone idea of striking gold in later rounds. Each late round qb is different and falls for different reasons.


Russell the best qb period coming out in 2011 even a more polished passer than Andrew Luck. Better mechanics and a stronger arm. The reason he fell was soley due to his height. Had he been 6'3-6'4 he would have gone before the top Luck am RG3.


Savage is different. He does not have the sound mechanics and accuracy. He makes poor decisions as well. These are issues that caused Jevan Snead to go from top 10 pick to in drafted. Decision making is the key. This is not an issue that is not easily fixed because it is how the individual processes and assess information and under pressure it is intensified even more.


It's all a crap shoot at the end of the day so maybe Savage can be good but the odds are not in his favor. He fell for a reason and is are fans may never really know. Tin horns need to lower their expectations of the guy because he really is a guy who rose up the boards due to his measurables and that is it.
