It is not wise to just draft a QB, even when you have a need. Learn the lesson.

they have to really like him, believe in him, be certain, and sure.

Do they have to like him as much as Sally Field thinks people like her?

Nice work Teddy to collect all that QB data (although I don't agree on Newton with one above average 30+ pass TDs NFL season being franchise QB, while Luck with two of them not).

And just to put this great post from SilenceS into this thread...

When will people learn? You have to be a pocket passer to win in the NFL. Running QB's get figured out. Watson is a great college player. But, his throws last night were pretty awful. He would not have gotten away with them in the NFL or if he didnt have the best receiver in college ball. Yes, he will ride this momentum to a top pick but it wont be pretty in the long run for the team that gets him. Look at how inconsistent Cam Newton can be and he was a much better player coming out than Watson and his size and strength isnt comparable. You win in the pocket in the NFL. Anything else is just a gimmick.

It is odd you are even addressing me since I didn't quote you at all, and just referenced people who think that all positions are the same risk wise.

And if you had read the thread before commenting you'd realize you wasted your time actually responding.

What's so odd about it? Do I need to be formally addressed before I'm allowed to make fun of someone saying something dumb? Go back to lurking JP.

What the heck are you talking about?

Awful thread! The entire draft is based on chance. You draft for what you need and hope for the best and that's it.
