Mannion was most impressive despite the loss to Oregon. The mesh guy quarterback fad is about over and the trend in the NFL will get back to reality. We need a drop-back passer to go with a new pro-style offensive coordinator.

 

Head to head, Mannion blows Bridgewater out of the water. 

 

Mariota is not going to make it as a pro quarterback. Running quarterbacks just don't work.

 

Bridgewater is simplified, over-rated and will struggle as a pro. Mannion is the NFL drop-back passer teams crave, but nitwit quasi-Jaguars fans will force him onto the field too soon to prove themselves as nitwits.

 

Therefore, we can probably do without any QB. In fact, if we take any quarterback in the draft it will be somebody like Tulsa QB Cody Green. Green has the size and arm to make it as a pro passer. He has not done well this season, but his talent is there. As hard to imagine as this seems, remember Tony Romo was never drafted.

 

Fulfill the lust for a QB by drafting Cody Green. We should keep Gabbert as the starter. He's got three years in the pros under his belt. We can use our picks much wiser along the offensive and defensive line. Anything is better than once again ignoring the worst offensive line in the NFL and dubiously drafting a QB in the first round just to throw him to the wolves.

 

 Best player available regardless of position.
