Quote:Of the last 15 drafts here are the QB's selected #1 overall. You tell me if losing now is worth the continued disappointment of not getting better. And before you say well Bridgewater or Mariota or Manziel are light years better you can't verify that based upon college stats because all of these guys were "can't miss" prospects.

 

Tim Couch

Mike Vick

David Carr

Carson Palmer

Eli Manning

Alex Smith

Jamarcus Russell

Matt Stafford

Sam Bradford

Cam Newton

Andrew Luck

 

If you're looking to continue losing so we get the #1 pick for QB you're rolling the dice at the expense of continuing developing a losing culture in the locker room. Of that list only Eli Manning has won a Super Bowl and that's mostly due to good coaching and defense. Many here would not consider Eli even elite.

 

Of that list I would only consider Eli, Luck, and Stafford worth losing for and they are already NFL proven, not college propect.

If we can win and still get Bridgewater, then I'm all for it. If we win and lose out of getting a chance (because nothing is for sure, i.e. Clowney, Manziel, etc), then I'm not down for it. Please remember everyone in the race for #1 pick needs a QB (Tampa, Minn, Houston (possibly), Giants (doubt it, but you never know), etc. If we get bumped out of top 5, we might have screwed our team for the next 2-3 years. We need a shot at our franchise QB now. Whoever thinks Gabbert or Henne is going to cut it going forward is loopy. We might be able to find that "Tom Brady" in the 6th, but let's not count on that please. I love that we won a game to stay out the record books. But let's be honest, if we don't get our Franchise QB this draft and he pans out that way, we are going to be in rebuild mode for 5+ years with a change at HC down the road. We need a very high pick #1 or #2 and hit on every pick, or we are going to still be in trouble. FA is going to be hard because the player has to want to come here. Come to a team that hasn't won much in the last 3 years and the constant talk of moving the team by all the media could shy away players too. We need a very high pick. #smh
