A different take on the draft

[fyo]

I'd be fine with limited mobility, as long as there's plenty of pocket presence.

^^^ Agree...I don't care if the guy can dance, as long as he has brass in his pockets.

We had one of those already and he was one of the greatest QB's of all time.....so yeah I would take that again!!!!!!

but the game has changed and the level of athletes on defense is far superior than the mid-80's and 90's

can't be stuck in a time capsule. Its 2011, a 1980's type logic (ie Parcells logic) doesn't work!!!

Seems to work just fine for Peyton Manning who has no mobility but an Elite arm!!!!!

once again, an exception NOT the norm. You can't depend on drafting one of the top 2 or 3 QB's in NFL history. It's like trying to build a Ravens/Tampa like defense and win that way.There is an .000481% chance that works.   Instead of doing the logical thing most of you always run to the extreme exception to the norm and point to it. WHY? It's silly! You don't need Randall Cunningham as your QB who can fly around the field. But guys like Rodgers, Big Ben, Brady, Bress...who can move a little in the pocket and make a play on the run or with their legs when need be.

Landry Jones can't move and makes those guys look like Carl Lewis

^^^^^ I see what you are saying and I am not arguing that with you.....my response was simply in response to your original question.

So would you rather have a QB with little mobility but has an elite arm or a guy with a good arm but can move a bit in the pocket and outside the pocket if need be. Me, I would take either and just build around whoever ya got.

I was just stating that I have no issue with having a QB with an Elite arm and little mobility (your words) as we have had success with just that before and there have been a select few QB's out there who were just that and did fine in the league then and are doing fine in the league now. You confuse me sometimes, its almost like you are arguing with yourself or just arguing for the sake or arguing. Talk about "Silly" (again your words) you just stated this "I would take either and just build around whoever ya got" so when I agree with you and tell you I would as well and I like Landry more the Barkley even with his mobility issues as it has worked out before you tell me I am going with the exception but not the norm. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to engage you in conversation.

Man, that had to hurt like hell, puliing a 6 digit number that deep out of your ass... I hope you at least sat on a cold pillow (or bag of frozen peas) after you posted that, to try to ease the burn.

To put things back on topic... I'd have no problem with any of those three early first round QBs, though I rate Landry a little better pro prospect than Barkley at this point. If we get a major upgrade at GM and HC this offseason, I'd be willing to trust them on any other QBs they think they may like outside of the first round as well.
