Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Good article homey! Just shows how much of a crapshoot the NFL draft is in the first round, esp. at QB. Thank god we the RodMan!!!Originally Posted by pbmax
Snake's Twitter comments would be LEGENDARY.........if I was ugly or gave a shit about Twitter.
This article shows how Akili Smith got drafted so highly. He blew away all the interviewers. Smith was 25 when he graduated. He took 4 years off to play pro baseball. After failing in pro baseball, he enrolled in college. He was much more mature than other 22 year old prospects and he knew just the right things to say.
The scouts forgot to look at the game films and learn that he didn't know how to play QB.

Minus Peyton Manning...I find it foolish for any franchise to play a highly drafted rookie QB in at least his first year. Case in point, Rodgers & Palmer...and I'm sure there are others like that. It for the most part takes the pressure off of them, and allows them to learn the game.

There is some statistical evidence that success at the Pro level for a college QB can be tied to starting a large number of games in college. The reasons are obvious; experience, winning a competition over a competitor (his fellow team QBs), large body of work to examine, etc.
But it seems to me that if you don't have a ton of starts in college (like Arod), then the best thing is to go to a team that can park you on the bench and let you learn. Palmer only sat a year and was a multi-year starter at USC, but if you are ARod and can learn for 3 years, you can eliminate two reasons for a young QBs struggles: unfamiliarity with the offense and reading pro defenses. That would seem to buy you the time to let the kid rack up some starts for experience sake and also to teach his coach what he can do well.
