Kevin Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Did anyone see any of this seven part series? Maybe I'm crazy, stupid, or both but Brian Billick doesn't know jack about drafting QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 gringo starr's "How to draft a QB": Make sure he... can throw the ball very well is smart has poise under pressure has leadership skills wants to win is tough blah blah blah etc... I kind of hate this time of the football year. None of the actual excitement of the game and all of the idiotic speculation. It's a feast for the loudmouth jerks in suits who get to spew their half-baked pontifications. The amazing part to me is how consistently wrong they prove to be and how no one ever calls them out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I will freely admit, when we were having a hard time nailing down a big name coach a few years ago, and especially after I saw that we settled for Chan, I was pretty pissed that we didn't just bring Billick in here. The guy was a sought after commodity when he was leaving Minnesota, and of course he got his ring while in B-more, I just felt that we should have pulled the trigger on the guy. In retrospect, I'm glad I wasn't making the calls, cause I see this guy on NFL Network quite often, and most of the time I find him to be a tool. I rarely see him say anything that is novel or clever, and quite frankly I feel like he's not really contributing much to the network overall. I have nothing against the guy, but I'm really glad the front office stayed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched him a bunch through his career, I REALLY didn't want him. Edited April 25, 2012 by Mark Long Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Walsh was a terrible commentator while guys like Lee Corso are very good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Did anyone see any of this seven part series? Maybe I'm crazy, stupid, or both but Brian Billick doesn't know jack about drafting QB's. I read a story today that say Billick had JaMarcus Russel as the highest graded QB ever coming out of college...all you need to know about Billick and QB's. And I do not say that just because he was the ultimate bust, but because even on draft day know one was sold on Russell as a lock nor a true #1 overall pick. Just absurd rating by Billick.
