Ozymandius Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 We should draft a QB in the second round and start him all season. The NFL didn't seem to get suspicious when Carolina did that with Clausen. An 0-16 or 1-15 campaign later, tada, Andrew Luck falls into our lap. I kind of like drafting Locker for that crash-test dummy role. Completely inaccurate, can't read a defense, but he's a big enough name that it won't draw suspicion as to why we're benching Fitzpatrick. Locker is our QB of the future, see? Makes sense to start him.
Billy in 4C Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Gabbert is the 1st QB off the board, not Mallett, Locker or Newton. If we don't take him at #3, we take whoever drops in round 2 including Ponder, who I believe will be the pick if it's not Gabbert. QB is a major area of need, along with just about everything else. If the future of the franchise is there, you take him. I don't care about position. We need everything. Fitz is a slightly below average QB. That doesn't cut it anymore for playoff teams. The early 2000's Ravens and Bucaneers models are done.
