Carr Redux?


Okay, the latest on the rumor mill is that we will make a trade with Washington to move up to # 6 if Brady is still there. I don't know about you, but I am ready for a break from the so-called franchise quarterback. I mean do we give this guy 5 years to develop too? I want to see a winner before I start drawing social security checks. The guy could be the be all end all. He is fairly well credentialed, been coached by a former top NFL assistant, blah, blah, blah. Could we stop going with the first and only option? Ala, Ahman Green. Let's build a hellacious defense to go along with a scrappy veteran quarterback. David, do not bother applying. Guys who throw their O-line under the bus at every turn do not command nor deserve their teammates respect, and they especially would not be deemed "scrappy leaders". Back to Brady Quinn. I posted two photos for a reason. The one on the left represents all of the potential in a top prospect quarterback who played at a big time college. The one on the right is if Quinn turns out to be Carr.

Do not waste another #1 draft pick on a quarterback "who won't be ready right away." DRAFT SOMEONE WHO CAN PLAY NOW. Hey the Ravens won a Super Bowl with a DEFENSE and the likes of Trent Dilfer at qb. Perhaps that's crazy talk.

Is that you Charlie? First we pass on Bush and now y'all are suggesting we pass on Quinn. With this type of philosophy we'll never get out of the basement. Just for the record I'm not for trading up to get him, but to pass on him in the 8 spot would be moronic. Let's not fall in the trap of just because we took Carr, is what he is because of the Texans, and he busted we should never take a qb high. That would be ignoring the real problem, that the Texans think tank, I use that term loosely, are not good evaluators of talent. If you recall the right pick that year would've been to take J. Peppers, another example of passing on the best talent on the board. In my humble opinion to pass on Quinn in the 8 spot would be a huge mistake. Please try to remember mom’s golden rule: two wrongs don't make a right

Okoye or Landry is the word on the street today. Quinn won't get past the Vikes at #7 if he still there then. One vote for the defense.
