    Actually Id be quite surprised if any rookie comes in and takes Jake Locker's job. The only way I see a rookie playing for us in 2014 is if week-5 comes and Jake trips off the bus going into the stadium. Which sadly is a possibility. But coming into the season I say its Jake's job.

    I see what he's saying. Not the words I would use, but it'll be interesting to see how he develops here.

    A lot of his passes are screens. If you watch him on intermediate passes, he is not that accurate.
    The difference between Manziel and Murray?
    Murray could possibly start as a rookie. If you think Manziel is anywhere near close to start, you are dilusional.

    It is Jakes job, until he gets hurt again - which we all know will happen.

    A lot of tom brady and mannings passes are short passes and screens. Brady has made a career out of making short high percent passes. And what exactly is so special about murry?

    I read a sports illustrated article on Mccarron at the doctor's office from the fall. First time i have read it. Very revealing about him. His family was somewhat poor growing up and his parents were divorced despite the fact he attended a pretty fancy private high school.

    Everybody knows how he almost died at age 5 from a jet ski accident. This is a guy who is totally grounded despite all his success when he could be a real arrogant jerk. Big time Bama QB dating the hottest chick on earth type thing, he is not like that at all.

    When he came to Bama he could dead lift 225 lbs. He now can dead lift 625. Totally bought in to the strength training program there. He obsessively watches film of Manning, Brees and Brady.



    Played big in his biggest games. In the title game against Notre Dame every read and every throw was right on. Played great against LSU in the championship last year. But he was behind the best o-line in college football history.

    I wouldn't be opposed to getting McCarron in the 4th at all. I just think Murray can be an elite qb(if he can stay healthy), and I'm not convinced mccarron can be anything other than a good game manager(given a stacked offense and a great defense). I feel like we need somebody who has proven they can chunk the ball around the field for wizs offense.

    Just don't get mettenberg. That's all I ask. Bridgewater, bortles, Manziel, Carr, gurrapolo, murray, fales, mccarron... just gimme one of them please.

    You named 8 guys you wouldn't mind having and 5 of them probably won't be any better than Rusty Smith. It's determining which 2-3 will be good.

    The game manager thing for Mccarron doesn't wash he completed 67% of his passes 2 years in a row with over 9 yards per attempt.

    I don't think Aaron Murray is going to be drafted. His tool set and his size along with the injury will push him back behind at least 10 other prospects. Great college player i would love to see us sign him as an udfa is that is the case but he fits in that Josh Heupel category and like Heupel will probably make a good coach someday.

    Scouts like guys with the big arm and the big body or athletic ability. They like having something they can work with. Logan Thomas of V-tech is an obvious example as is Morris of Miami. Taj Boyd is falling back on a lot of boards lately nfl draft scout has him 10th.

    If Murray gets drafted it will only be because so many viable prospects have stayed in school.
