    After reading about USCs blowout of UCLA last night i didn't realize how young that team is.The coach and the school is going to do everything in thier power to keep that kid in school to compete for a national championship next year.If he stays and i also heard griffin is probally going to stay what the hell are we going to do because i think jones is going to be a bust.

    If it's weak, it's weak. We blew our shot at getting the best QB in the draft already, so I am not stressing about it any more.

    I am the minority on this site i think luck is overrated but i don't want to get into that right now.
    I am afraid this team is going to reach for somebody like jones and it will be chad henne all over again.
    If these two don't declare i would rather grab the best avaiable player and take weeden later on in the draft and ride it out next season with moore.

    This happens every year. Then just like clock work people will be talking about waiting til next yea because that draft is loaded. Then next year the process happens again.

    Hopefully I am wrong and barkley and griffin will both declare then after 28 years we will finally have a first round qb to build around.

    What ever pick we end up with, if Weeden is available( and he probably will be) we should take him. People are hung up on the age thing but this guy has a solid NFL career ahead of him.

    Whatever happens, happens. Miami was not playing bad enough to go 0-16 to beat out the Colts for the #1 pick so it didn't matter anyway. In our losses, 4 of them were close enough to win and we had bad teams on the schedule. Really no point in getting mad about winning games. The Colts are a bad football team and will have the #1 pick regardless.

    So he'll be useless when he's 31? He hasn't taken a beating at all either so it isn't like he's on his last legs.

    Trent Dilfer added Nick Foles into the #1 pick derby, that means there SHOULD be 3 to 4 to 5 #1 pick quality Qb's in this draft.

    -Luck
    -Jones
    -Barkley
    -Foles
    -RG3/Foles/Kellen Moore/Weeden/Tanneyhill

    Of more concern is how many of those players will Declare for the draft as there is plenty of quality prospects who could declare, who may not declare.

    Well luck is going to the colts.not sure if barkley or griffin are going to declare,i don't like jones, moore or tanneyhill in the top 10 of the draft.
    I have not seen foles play so can you tell me what he brings to the table and is he worthy of a top 10 selection?

    definitely w/o any thought go with RGIII over Foles.

    my list after luck

    Barkely
    Weedon
    RGIII
    Tannehil
    Jones
    Foles

    And there is a slight part of me that wants to put RGIII at 1 after luck

    ^Truth. How is it that NEXT year's QB class is always loaded and THIS year's QB class is always terrible. Because this fan base loves the incumbent QB no matter who it is.

    Well, safe to say that is not the case this yr, one will find no one who defends MMoore as vigorously as Chad Henne was defended, though I LIKE MMoore's game.

    The decks are cleared for a new Qb.

    i dont know how n e one says this class is weak, odds are that 1 goes back 1 declares, and with that this is a strong class and it would be foolish to pass. If we pass on weedon solely because of his age then we are truly fools

    I like Moore as much as Liked Henne. I will defend Moore the same. But I will also say what I said about Henne, his ceiling is limited and we have to find a franchise potential qb

    Barkley said earlier this season his decision on whether or not to stay would probably be determined on how well he finished out the season, and since he's been pretty much brilliant the past month or so he could very well feel he's ready for the NFL. He could always change his mind, and I'm sure he'll feel some pressure to, but USC has a ton of talent and can still thrive without him.

    As for Griffin, I've done some research and have seen nothing that has substantiated that. He's also pretty much graduated, so I don't particularly see the point in him staying.

    I do like weedon but we can't take him top 5 or 10.I have seen him going all the way to the 4th round in some of these mock drafts which is crazy.

    Well let's be realistic here:

    -Raiders
    -Eagles
    -Bills
    -Patriots
    -Jest

    We can win 4 of those games..maybe, Raiders, Eagles, Bills, Jest, more then likely we win 2 of them, 5-11, that should give us #8 or so.

    6-10 would be right around there as well, with 3 Top 10 Qb's, we can land someone.

    Here I disagree, to me he is Pennington Jr with a better arm but without the field vision as of yet.

    This is one of the reasons why I like his game, you can certainly win with him.

    If anyone thinks weedon makes it out of the 1st is delusional IMO. taking weedon at 3 is like Minny taking Ponder at 12. Weedon is savvy, smart, and he is nfl ready, if he was 23, he would give luck minor comp for #1 overall.

    how can some of you be so optimistic about this team, about moore etc. its been over 15 years of basically being a joke.

    honestly i just want to know who the new coach is going to be. if they don't fire this guy I won't be spending any money on this loser product next season.

    Short term maybe but I disagree we can go with him and expect we can expect what NE, Ind, NO, Pitt expects from their qbs. I have said with henne and applies to Moore, you can win with them as long as those around them are playing equally. They are not picking the offense up on their backs consistently. Maybe 1 or both could have that switch go on but do you really take that chance?

    no way, IMO. he is too talented, his age drops him between 14-22 range IMO. tho if he gets past that then I agree with you. But I cant see that, he is too good

    I feel your pain,but don't worry we will at the least hasve a new coach and hopefully a new gm as well.
    The problem with this team is you can't keep being sucessful when you have neglected the most important postion on the field for the last decade.We really should have started in the late nineties when dan the man was declining.
    Lets just pray the next regime picks the right guy or we are ****ed again for the next 5 years.

    And noone is Penny jr unless they have that field vision, it is Penny intelligence and pinpoint accuracy and timing that combo, that made him Penny. Moore isnt that saavy

    And here we disagree again, Henne never put the team on his back, save for maybe 2 gms in 09, MMoore in 7 starts has done far more of it then Henne did in 31 starts, can you expect him to be Ben R or Brady?

    Nope, though in 7 starts he has 2 3 Td games, so he can also be highly productive and win games, the problem is his flaws atm are larger then his strengths, below average field vision and he takes to many sacks in bad situations speaking to a lack of starting experience and sort of poor OL play.

    Keep in mind JM, parachuting a young Qb onto a poor offense tends to make things worse, not better, in that sense what Moore has done is remarkable, this is the same lineup that Henne could not do very much with other then score 17 pts or less per gm.

    Moore has equal accuracy imo, and a better arm, when we saw Penny play, he was a 10 yr vet with 6-7 yrs of starting experience, MMoore has less then 20 starts, to expect the same savvy performance is unreasonable imo.

    Really how? Cause he didnt thursday, he didnt vs jets, he didnt vs SD. in teh 3 wins when did he have to make up for the inadequacies of others? he had all day to throw in teh 3 wins vs porous defenses. vs anyone competent how many wins does Moore have? I am not going to try to sway you but in no way has Moore shown me anything that says lets go forward with him anymore than Henne did. I liked Henne and will defend him that not all ills were his fault, but as is the case with him, Moore is not franchise level qb. He is not going to get us over the hump

    I dont disagree that it is too soon, but thats the point, its way too soon to put him in that class. To project that level of intelligence is simply that - Projecting. Penny with a better arm is a franchise qb, I dont see Moore as a franchise qb. Penny had uncanny timing that I havent seen Moore match yet either

    As if it does not take time to gel with his offensive teammates?

    He threw 4 picks in his first 3 starts, including a pick 6, since then...1 int..is that an indicator of improving, or regressing performance?

    -last 4 gms over 100 QBR
    -1 int
    -6 td's
    -240 ypg on avg

    That ain't bad kid.

    Penny was not really thought of a Franchise Qb, and why is some draft pick worthy of the Halo?

    Does using a #1 pick on a Qb guarantee anything at all?

    His age would drop him that low if he was going to be 26. He's going to be 29.

    No way does Moore have Penny's accuracy. I think they are different players.
