    He wont be Ryan Leaf, that guy was a mental midget, and was just a punk.

    at the very least, you will never have to worry about off the field issues with this guy

    The next "ryan leaf" award is reserved for Ryan Mallet.

    we couldn't get the same guy though. How hard is that to understand?

    I feel like it was a reach, but I think the Titans were looking at it as they weren't in much of a position for someone to trade up to 8 and they like him a lot and believe he is the guy so they took him. I don't think he would have been there for us in round two and I don't think they wanted to miss out on the QB run and take the chance for waiting for a QB in round 2. I feel like he will have a lot better talent around him and a much better offensive line, something he did not have in Washington. The guy loves the game and I think he has a lot of potential with the work ethic he possess.

    By that definition, he's definitely not a reach then.

    The only definition of reach that he would fall under would be when compared to the BPA. Which is where I say that it doesn't matter who the BPA is, a franchise QB is worth more to a team than any other position.

    Did you ever think the reason why he's always outside the pocket is because he has a crappy OL? Or his comp % isn't very good because his WR's had moredropped balls than anyone in the Pac-10? Or maybe the defense would only prepare for Locker because there is no one else on that team?

    Let the guy take a snap before you guys hate on the pick.

    I'm not "hating" the pick. Again, I said I'm torn.

    In my QB ratings thread I think I had him at #2 behind Stanzi (and due to Ponder being hurt, who was my #1).

    Looks like the homerism has already set in though.

    Yes, he still would be a reach.


    If I told you that you could get a 30,000 dollar car today for 30,000 dollars- or wait til tomorrow and get the same make but a different color for 20,000k... what would you do? You may just jump the gun, but it wouldn't be smart.

    Especially if this way you could get a bigger need the first day- a player that an equal wont be found in round 2. A Fairley?...

    I like the guy, but to try to say it was a SMART pick? No. Not anything near it.

    So you're saying you think he would have been around by the time we picked at 39? Behind Gabbert, Dalton, Ponder and Kaepernick?
