The fact of the matter is, he's improved every season in college. He will have more starts under his belt than Andrew Luck and Ryan Mallett, if they declare early. I maybe alone on this one, but I believe he's the Bills best option out of the Luck-Locker-Mallett crop at the moment.

Excellent rebuttal. I am getting the sense that Bills Nation is just repeating the opinion of ESPN commentators, and then passing them off as their own. Here's the real reality: Locker, Luck, and Mallett all have good-to-great physical tools and understand how to operate under center, but possess questionable accuracy and decision-making skills. Luck had a strong first half, but fell off the radar in the second half.

How can you possibly compare him to Trent Edwards? Come on now, I understand that many of you are close minded, and will not accept any quarterback, not named Mallett, Locker, or Luck, but he's a legitimate early round QB prospect. He's got the following qualities: arm strength, mobility, typically plays well against tough competition, size, plays both from the gun and under center, and can make all the NFL throws. I agree that he has room to grow, but so do Locker, Luck, and Mallett. I don't see how Luck, Locker, or Mallett are first rounders either, but he's definitely an early round QB prospect, due to his supreme physical tools. It will be interesting to see if he progresses this year, and how the combine interviews will go.

Turn into the Texas A&M, Oklahoma State game tonight at 7:30 eastern time. This is relevant for Bills Nation, because the starting QB for the Aggies, is going to enter the 2011 NFL draft. For those of you scratching your heads on the name Jerrod Johnson, check out this video:

For this season, the Bills are going to play musical quarterbacks. If one quarterback underperforms for more than two straight games, then the next person in line will get a shot, and the cycle will continue. I expect Brohm to start by the end of October.

Thank you for clarifying, but the thread still defies the principles of logic. Why would Locker assume that Buffalo would draft him? Perhaps a team like the 49ers would get him with their 1st overall pick, and if he's tanking the season, then he would be available in the later rounds of the draft.

How exactly is he right? Luck only played against 1 good opponent this year, and in that game he looked bad. Bills Nation needs to open their eyes, and realize that there are more than 3 good quarterbacks possibly available. Ponder, Johnson, and Kaepernick also deserve high merit too.

Quite frankly, it is a little premature to make statements, like "Mallett and Luck are the only real deals" and "nobody else can be elite quarterbacks." The college football season is only a 1/3 of the way finished, and it is important that we don't discount somebody simply because McShay or Kipper are not talking about them. Anything can happen. Draft stocks can fall easily. The fact of the matter is, Mallett and Luck completed less than 57% of their passes last season, and have so far gotten off to a shaky start. Did you see Luck Vs. UCLA (a team which surpassed the .500 mark last season and beat Texas this year)? He passed for 151 yards, and completed 46% of his passes. As for Mallett, he threw two costly interceptions at the end of the Alabama game, and looked offensively lifeless in the 2nd half. Lets face the facts: Mallett, Locker, and Luck are still raw, and come across as questionable first round picks, at the moment.

other than Jake Locker, Andrew Luck, and Ryan Mallett. Jerrod Johnson - 6'5, 245 pounds. - Senior at Texas A&M - Born on July 27th, 1988 - Started 22 games in 2008 and 2009. - Against +.500 competition last season, he put up the following stats: 18 TDs, 4 INTs, 60% completion%, and 273 passing yards per game. Colin Kaepernick - 6'6, 225 pounds - Senior at Nevada - Born on November 3rd, 1987 - Started 34 games between 2007 and 2009. - Against +.500 competition last season: 13 TDs, 1 INT, 225 total yards per game, and completed 56% of his passes. Christian Ponder - 6'3, 227 pounds - Senior at Florida State - Born on February 25th, 1988 - Started 22 games in 2008 and 2009. - Against +.500 competition last season: 15 Tds, 5 INTs, 288 passing yards per game, and completed 71% of his passes. Don't concentrate purely on Luck/Locker/Mallett. They are not the only choices in the first and second round.
