@gips said:If it was mangini calling the shots it would be simple...there would be no drafted qb pre-ready vets would be his choice always, but since holmgren and hecktard will be in the mix it gets more complicated being that tebow is most likely a smokescreen and i dont see us using our 1st round pick for a QB...so im going to bang my head against the wall and say unless mangini gets his way we will go after pike..
Well, look at Holmgren's track record: In Green Bay, how do they acquire their QB? A trade with the Falcons for the rights to a young, unproven 2d rounder by the name of Brett Favre. No one knew he would be that good....except Holmgren (and Ron Wolf their GM.) And in Seattle, what does he do? He makes a trade for a younger Matt Hasselbeck, who does eventually lead that team to a SB appearance.
So, his pattern has been to seek a young, unproven QB who is still a veteran with a year or 2 or 3 under his belt. Heck, he seems like the guy who may have made a trade FOR a Brady Quinn type QB. He did it with Seneca Wallace....though personally I don't really get the feeling that Holmgren sees Wallace as the next Favre or Hasselbeck...or...does he?
