For My Fellow QB Naysayers... Gun to Head, Which One Do You Take?

Almost every scout in America has 3 QBs in their top 20 players overall. How much better do they have to get?
First, since we are at 4 and 26, what does top 20 have to do with it? Most of "almost every scout" have only one QB in the top 4 players.
Then there's that other little problem... they can't seem to agree on which one is in the top 4. So it's not as much a matter of how much better "they have to get"; it's more a case of who is he?
Apparently the scouts are just like us...
I dont consider it a bad thing to have competition to be the top QB in the draft. Its close. Everyone has their own opinion. Hell if we go through this process and wait till the second round to snag Garappolo, I wouldnt mind, if they came out and said he was their #1 QB on their board. We have the ammo to get their #1 guy, and thats all I want. Wouldnt surprise me in the least if our front office screws the pick up, but at least theyre doing everything they can to try and get a QB in here. And Tour honestly, I could care less exactly where they have these guys ranked. I was using those rankings as a reference point. The only thing that matters is, who is the favorite QB? Where is he projected, and what's the latest pick we can use on him. In most scenarios, if the favorite is one of the top 3, none will be available at 26. Now, do we have to use 4 on him? Or, can we possibly move up from 26 to the teens and snag him? All questions that im glad I dont have to figure out.First, since we are at 4 and 26, what does top 20 have to do with it?

Xx that is a very good reason for concern. Scouts prognosticators pundits sports aficionados are all divided on which of these guys is the real deal. Seems like we'd have some sort of consensus...

it would definitely make it easier. But hell we had scouts saying theyd take RGIII over Luck, and Leaf over Manning. Maybe theyre all the real deal, maybe theyre all busts....Xx that is a very good reason for concern.

Well RG 3 might have easily been a superstar had he not been hurt. Same with our possibly rose colored version of Brian Hoyer...

I think Luck was a bigger consensus #1 than Manning over Leaf though. I think some on the Colts staff wanted to take Leaf over Manning.
Leaf is a guy that could have been good though. He signed that contract and basically said screw football. He just wanted to party and do drugs and be in the spot light. Another important thing to consider in player evaluations.
I think RG3 could still be a good player, but I would have never taken him over Luck. I thought Luck should have won the heisman too that year.

Billl Polian denies that they were ever considering Leaf. Manning was always the guy per him.

I heard an interview that Leaf didn't want to be in Indy, but Indy was doing their due-diligence and wanted to interview him because some of their scouts preferred him. Leaf skipped the interview.Billl Polian denies that they were ever considering Leaf. Manning was always the guy per him.

Leigh Steinberg, Leaf's agent confirmed that they purposely ditched the Colts interview because he wanted to go to San Diego with the #2 pick.
Polian said that action simply confirmed what they thought about Leaf's immaturity and confirmed that Manning was the choice to make.
Did some Colt's scouts still like Leaf, perhaps. But I don't know about "preferred".

And Irsay said they never considered RG3 due to concerns that he'd get hurt... Luck was their guy all the way.
Maybe we should ask Indy about this year's crop of QBs...
In return we can advise them on RBs...

All questions that im glad I dont have to figure out.
And I wish they'd ask me...

Thanks for the clarification.
Seemed to me more scouts/blog scouts were a bit more split on Leaf/Manning than Luck/RG3 though.
Hopefully Manziel doesn't turn into a Leaf type.
