jumbalaya Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Perhaps I should explain more. With the uncertainty of the CBA i think teams will avoid QBs early. Not necessarily because of talent but because only Mallet and Gabbert are really pro ready and teams need contributors. If the CBA isnt signed until September and we have a two week training camp your first round QB has no chance to see the field during his rookie year. And look at last year. How many QBs were projected in the first round? Bradford, Tebow, Clausen, Mccoy?. I remember seeing Tony pike was a second round pick. He went in what the 6th round? Newton Will fall because of character issues and an "ok" combine performance. Mallet has a drug problem (alleged) Ponder has injury concerns. Locker has accuracy issues. in short, too many projects in a year when coaches wont have time to work with these guys Realistically someone will take Newton and regret it big time IMO but If I'm a GM or coach that is in the win now NFL. I'm not touching a QB in round one except for Gabbert Hope that helps you understand my reasoning Teams will not draft based on the CBA being in place or mot. They will draft based on their needs and players available. To do otherwise is foolish.
Turbosrrgood Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I wouldn't sign Locker as a free agent, I don't see any possibility of him succeeding in the NFL.
1B4IDie Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I wouldn't sign Locker as a free agent, I don't see any possibility of him succeeding in the NFL. Seriously people, please stop talking about Locker. He is complete garbage that already has PTSD from his weak O-Line. He crumbles under any pressure. He has a career .300 winning percentage in college. If there is a sure thing in the draft, its as sure as it gets that Locker will not translate well to the NFL. Inaccurate, unable to read defenses, crumbles under pressure, never was able to win, coached by one of the best Offensive Coordinaters in College Ball and they still couldn't do much with him. Locker is radioactive toxic waste STAY AWAY.

The fact that Mayock has him rated as the #2 QB is a joke!
