He broke school records and was behind Brian Griese his first two years. His competition for the starting job went on the nfl as well. His passer rating in college was in the 130s, while he obvs wasn't a "blue chip" prospect, to say he was bad is a bit of a stretch.

It is so hard that Sam Bradford has been paid an entire football teams value to play 4 good games.

Yep. And to put it in perspective Sam Bradford was an incredible QB prospect. There's guys who absolutely shred college competition with massive completion percentages and TD:INT ratios. They clown on legitimate NFL prospects or premier D1 schools. They are at best a backup in the NFL or they flame out spectacularly.

That's why I was so happy having Eli. Even when he wasn't that great he was still leagues ahead of other options out there that would guarantee a losing season.

They won't trade Beckham. These QBs suck though, although Allen sucks a lot worse than the rest.

The right move is to trade down and get Chubb, although Nelson's acceptable.

I can't conceive the possibility of the Giants staying at two and not taking a quarterback. If they do, Gettleman should be fired on the spot.

Bradford's career would've been a lot different if not for the injuries. Hard to predict that, he was injured in college but it was always the shoulder or ankle. Like you said he tore up college football like crazy.

Eli is decent and he's just insanely durable. Same goes for a lot of the good qbs in the league. Injuries lead to lack or reps and experience, they might make you slower or more skittish, and of course your team gets totally screwed. Durability is easily one of the most important qualities for a QB, as difficult as that is to define perfectly.

I would say it would be absolutely guaranteed if it weren't for the coaching change. The previous staff was pretty much over Eli but who knows how Shurmur feels. I agree it'd probably be a bad move. Who knows when they'll have a pick like this and when so many decent QBs will be hitting the draft.

Brady-at-Michigan chat reminded me of the game I went to at Wisconsin where Chris Chambers dropped a wide-open touchdown because the sun was in his eyes as the ball hit him in the stomach, and then on the potential game-winning drive, on 4th and 1 we called an option pitch stretch play (which we'd never done in a game) to Ron Dayne, who got hit 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Brady had gone out in the early 4th q with an elbow injury.

Brady had gone out in the early 4th q with an elbow injury.

I didn't follow the draft back then outside of being super excited for Ron Dayne as a kid. I went back and watched a lot of Brady tape a few years ago from his time in Michigan and he just had such a smooth throw. His arm strength wasn't there at all and his receivers constantly had to come back towards the ball but his form was NFL perfect. I figure he dropped in the draft because his arm strength really was pathetic at times. His touch passes definitely got him drafted though. Just constantly great fades, out routes, and hitting short seam passes in stride.

If you guys have time go back and watch the comeback he orchestrated against Bama. You could see a lot of talent there even though Bama's defense was falling apart.

Brady was the one guy I never thought would massively improve his arm strength and he did so it goes to show you that even big guys with great form can somehow figure out how to throw farther and more accurately as time goes on.

If Allen busts (very likely) is there a better instance of everyone on the outside looking in knowing a high pick will be a disaster?

Vernon Gholston comes to mind.

Locker's stats were bad, but the other two were leagues ahead of Allen.

I think this year is pretty unique insomuch that 1. there are a lot of actually good quarterback prospects and 2. there have been enough busts in recent memory that were drafted because of the Mike Mayock and Mel Kiper's of the world telling us that they were pieces of raw quarterback clay that could be molded by a deft hand into a star.

Like there used to be some deference given to scouts when they spouted poo poo that seemed like nonsense to everyone outside the industry, but I can't think of many instances where they were vindicated. If Josh Allen doesn't pan out, it feels like it will represent a turning point for a lot of people's credibility.

I think Allen has the highest bust potential, but I wouldn't blame any team for taking him even early in the draft.

I think the other QBs will be very good but what Allen has over them is the chance to be unstoppable.
