Obviously, one of the big topic on this board is whether or not Edwards is the franchise guy or now. While there are definitely some serious doubts (arm strength and injury concerns), I think there is a lot to be excited about. He is entering his 3rd year, which typically is where most players have their breakout season. I think the problem with us as fans is that the crap feast of the last decade has jaded us (and probably rightly so). But Edwards and most of this young team has only been around for a few years. If we stepped back and looked at the situation as an outsider, it is not as bleak as most of us think.

 

So for the sake of argument, which QBs would rather have and why.

I'm obviously a big supporter of Trent, I think he has got what it takes to take us to the promise land with the right system and personnel. Having said that, If I had to take someone out of the group that you just mentioned, it would be Cuttler. Strong Arm, Accurate and Fiesty. Makes some dumb mistakes, but he is young. Most qb's don't hit their stride until after their 5th year or so.

Living in S.W. Fla & being a Bucs fan (my 2nd favorite team) I had a chance to watch Matt Ryan & he looks like the real deal. He did not look like a rookie last year and I have heard his teammates say he did not act or play like a rookie. My 2nd choice would be Flacco with Quinn #3. I still think the Fins made a HUGE mistake taking Ginn instead of Quinn.

Myself I think I would take Culter, Flacco, and Ryan over Trent Edwards. I like Trent, but I think these guys are all blue chip studs in the NFL.

 

 

GO BILS!

 

 

I definitely agree with the players you mentioned. I am torn on Flacco. I love his arm but I really believe Edwards would have similar success in Baltimore. But I think both guys have good futures and it will be interesting to see how they progress.

Surprisingly, I have a lot of support for Trent, still sport his Jersey, and hope he develops into all his hype. My posts about him have been strictly related to why we dont win now...yes I know he is young, but when I post about him or the QB production in general, its about why we are where we are, not where we are going.

 

That being said, Trent has potential and I like the kid, but his regression and injuries do have me concerned and I really think he needs someone in camp to push him.

 

As far as your post here, it is a slam dunk for me...Cutler or Rodgers...since I cant vote for two, it would be Cutler. The others have promise, but these two have the makings of upper echelon QB's in this league while the others have question marks still.

you forgot to add the Pats* Kevin O'Connell from San Diego State to the list...the Pats* took him in the third round last year and before Cassell's breakout season he was supposedly the heir apparent to Brady.

 

He's 6'5 230 lbs and supposedly had the best arm in the class last year. Now with Cassell's days likely over in NE* bc of economics (or at least after 2009 season), O'Connell will probably be the 2nd string in the future. Give him a few years in Bellichick's system and we might hear his name again after Tom Brady's days are over.

 

But he might also just be a Belichick system QB, and his appeal right now is strictly because he's in the perfect situation

I'd take Quinn. He's a physical specimen at the QB position, he's not scared in the pocket, never shown any real durability issues, has pretty good mobility, has a good arm, has the brains necessary to play the position, and is accurate with the football. I'm also an ND "homer" who watched basically every game he played in college. I think that he''ll be a good QB whether he plays his whole career in Cleveland or goes elsewhere. Oh, and my vision is good Tcali :thumbsup:

Here's an idea. Let's do this like intelligent people instead of morons. I know it's a strange and novel concept but please play along with me.

 

What young quarterback would you rather have than Trent Edwards (3rd round, 92 overall) based on where they were selected?

 

Tyler Thigpen 7th round, 217 overall

 

Brady Quinn 1st round, 22 overall

 

JaMarcus Russell 1st round, 2nd overall

 

Aaron Rodgers 1st round, 24 overall

 

Jason Campbell 1st round, 25 overall

 

Jay Cutler 1st round, 11th overall

 

Kellen Clemens 2nd round, 49 overall

 

Kyle Orton 4th round, 106 overall

 

Matt Leinart 1st round, 10th overall

 

Tarvaris Jackson 2nd round, 64 overall

 

Joe Flacco 1st round, 18 overall

 

Matt Ryan 1st round, 3rd overall

 

(Strange how he's being compared to 8 quarterbacks taken in the first round)
