Clausen, Pike, Tebow or Bradford
-
imo Pike is the hidden gem of the QBs in this draft
Skelton is the hidden gem, imo. He has the physical skills, the bulk, the arm, and has accuracy. He is definitely a QB to groom, and if you can coach him up right, he has the potential to be really good, imo.
Pike on other hand, is thin, has an average arm, but is pretty accurate, and has good timing and anticipation. He could also be good. But I think Skelton is the gem here.

Bradford is fragile, and has injury issues. Other than that, I think he's pretty good. But I still like Skelton. Give me Skelton, Baby!

alright, now you got me. give me the quick rundown on the guy because i've never heard of him. for real. not trying to be wise. where did he play, what kind of record did he have etc.? thanks!

Honestly bradford would be a mistake imho but pike, lefevour or skelton could likely produce some pleasant suprises and a good deal...any of these three may be the gem in the rough...bradford and tebow are questionable to me..clausen is out of the question he isnt a mangini kinda loser...

I am not at all familiar with Skelton either, so we'll just trust & see who we end up with.
The thing that really surprises me is how all the "experts" are overlooking the "red flags" regarding Bradford. That shoulder issue is NOT minor for a QB ( and keep in mind it was NOT just a one time injury). To me it's a MAJOR concern. He will get hit a lot more often & a lot harder in the NFL than he did in Oklahoma. It seems to me that, in the past, many fine players have dropped in the draft given health concerns....Why not Bradford? Would I take him if available at pick 7?...I'm not too sure, especially if Berry or a couple others were there.
Just my opinion...I'm a "fan", not an expert.

just checked the career stats of skelton and pike. they both compare pretty evenly. physically skelton is heavier with pike taller and leaner at 6; 6" and 233 lb. skelton's numbers are just a smudge better that pike's, but remember pike got hurt and was out three games so that could be the difference there. my question is what kind of comp is skelton seeing playing for the fordham rams?
in the big east you're playing some top ten teams. cincinnatti and pitt finished in the top ten. they went out of conference and beat a big ten team in illinois and a pac ten team in oregon state. they won every game last year (7-0 in conf. and 12-1 overall) and played florida in the sugar bowl and lost. (hell any team would have lost to that florida team!). the bcs ranked #3 at end of year. pike has seen alot more in his career so far and that to me would give him the edge over someone who's played in the atlantic ten.

I agree that they're glossing it over. As a Texas alum, I am programmed to hate OU and Sam Bradford,...but I don't. Bradford is an impressive college QB. The only thing I don't like (and it's a big deal) is that he doesn't like to get hit and he rarely got hit as hard as he will in the NFL. Quick release, accurate, arm strength, smart...sure. The injury and the "hit" issue is a big deal to me.

I think Pike would be perfect for Cinncinnati, so I hope they don't get him, I would like to have McCoy.
