blackmon isn't Just Hunter but is a wicked awesome slot reciever who would work wonders with Colts arm.

You could cut one of Blackmon's arms off and he's still way better than a slot receiver. Get a clue!

You mean we might get a 4 yard pass out of Colt, instead of a 3 yarder?

And Huey Richardson. Steelers fans like to forget about their 15th pick in the draft that wasn't on the team the following season.
Was he a QB?

Are you truly this unknowledgeable?
Oh, the irony.

Okay heres a Landry Jones stat for you his last four games he has 6 ints and 1 touchdown...
For sure that's something you have to look at. Like I said previously, I'd still have to watch a few more games of him to feel comfortable taking him that high. But in the game I did watch, he did what he needed to do. I don't know what the situation was in other games were he played poorly. I know he's working with alot of extremely young receivers and his star receiver has been out most of the season. Maybe he's trying to do to much. But I know he can read defenses and go through his progressions, thats more than what Baylor is asking RG3 to do.

Well then watch the other games where he actually played against a defense that was better than 100th in the country.

Don't be so sensitive, its only an opinion.
Watch a game were RG3 makes a read....you won't

Anybody can say that. Few teams play good defense anymore. Who will have a better pro career. Kirk Cousins,Landry Jones or RGIII. RGIII is hype right now. Hopefully somebody buys into it.

Defensive end.
The kicker is they just cut him, didn't trade him or anything.

I'm not saying it to be a dick. It's just Jones did play some decent defenses this year but he is looking at the game where he played against the worst team his team faced all season and using it as a reason why Jones is best. It makes no sense.

Well lets take a look whos out there you think Barkley??
Tyler Wilson? Tyler Bray?
I would not select anyone of these guys over Griffin.
Give me one Prospect you like better
Before the 2011 year no one would have even selected RG3 as a top 10 pick. He has played well and moved up the mock draft board. Bottom line is there is huge hype over quarterbacks every year and there are always a couple QBs that move up the boards. You cannot accurately compare Tyler Wilson, Tyler Bray, or any other college QB to RG3 of this year without having seen the 2012 college season. These college QBs have another year to prove themselves just like RG3 did this year..

Granted that is correct but RG3 was still known by people last year and was projected as at least a 2nd round pick...Im giving you the top guys in next years class and i tell you that they could do the same thing that he did this year..Say barkley wins a national title wins the heisman etc. i still think RG3 has a better skill set than Barkley and theres no guarnatee we pick again in the top 5 to have a shot at him...

You never pass on a Franchise QB unless you have one

I am not knowledgeable about failed Stooler gomers. Your lack of knowledge was concerning the basic fundamentals of the game.

I'd take Landry Jones over him, but I don't want a QB at all in the first round

Rule #1 in the NFL Draft
You never pass on a Franchise QB unless you have one
You never pass on a Franchise QB unless you have one
which actually isn't a rule, cause no one really knows who will be a franchise QB. you say RGiii is, i say he's not.
why is it many of you see raw talent in college and immediately assume said player will be a franchise guy. brady quinn too long ago for you? as it stands now, rgiii plays in a gimmick offense from the shotgun. drop, read your first target, take off if its not open.
what exactly about this kids game makes anyone think it translates to our WCO? can the kid even play under center? what happened when colt struggled taking snaps and dropping back? did shurmur modify the offense to help him?
i swear too many of you just see an athlete and assume he will be able to perform the same as he did against a defense ranked 100+ in the country. how is this line of thinking still even possible after years and years of failure to identify THE guy. if we just keep plugging in A guy, we'll never find THE guy.
we need football players....not athletes.

Look i dont think ethier of us work for scouting or as a GM, so id say let them do there jobs.If Heckert thinks hes worth the pick then i believe he is...Btw he will go in the top 5 there is just more than a Athlete,If he was they would ask him to be a WR and he would not be a top 5 pick...O btw way Newton also ran the spread offense and people said the same thing about him
Of the 24 quarterbacks taken in the first or second round of the draft since 2005, 11 ran a variation of the spread offense in college. Despite starting fewer games in the NFL than their non-spread counterparts, their career statistics are almost identical.
Recent QB History
Quarterbacks drafted in first or second round career numbers, since 2005.
Spread No Spread
Players 11 13
Starts 256 341
Career win pct. .518 .481
Playoff W-L 5-5 8-6
Comp pct. 59.6 59.0
TD-INT ratio 1.22 1.39
Passer rating 80.7 80.4
The 11 spread quarterbacks had a slightly higher passer rating in the NFL than the non-spread quarterbacks. They also had a higher completion percentage and winning percentage.
It is reasonable to believe the players who ran the spread in college would struggle in their first year in the league. Again, that is not the case. Of the quarterbacks drafted in the first two rounds since 2005, 11 of them took 150 or more snaps in their rookie seasons. Of those players, the spread quarterbacks started fewer games but had a higher completion percentage and TD-to-INT ratio.

I don't give a shit what offense anyone runs in college. Talent is talent.
What's bothersome to me is that RG3 relied on his speed heavily, and in the NFL he's not going to have the same amount of success in doing that. He's still lightning fast, but so are most of the guys in the league.
Let's face it, what you are doing is trying to find the next Cam Newton. You are trying to capture lightning in a bottle twice.
He's not Cam Newton. He's not Peyton Manning sized, with near Mike Vick speed. He's not going to be able to lower the boom or break through arm tacklers with the same success. He doesn't have as much poise as Newton in the pocket. He doesn't have the pedigree Newton has. He doesn't have the experience Newton has.
Overall, he just doesn't seem as...good... as Cam Newton.
-
again....we're not even to the shrine game and here you are talking like you already know whats going on draft day.
do you think rgiii goes top 5 if he throws 60% at the combine?
so, while you can generalize the spread QB success rate, thats not what i asked. i asked about rgiii....not spread QBs in general. given that we run a rigid WCO that will not be modified for anyone, why draft a athletic QB that will have to learn the skills for the WCO?
its a fair question, as many folks with opinions i trust say that this kid cant read defenses and tucks the ball away too quickly. which if true, means he cannot run our offense adequately.
-
I do believe he will still go top 5 even if he throws 60% at the combine just look at Newtons Combine last year he threw very bad last year and still went 1..Also wait and see if Griffin runs a 4.3 and then tell me he wont go top 5 granted that dosent equal a great QB but hes twice the passer Micheal Vick was..
