Quarterbacks in the Draft

[packrulz]

TT picked up Chris Pizzotti from Harvard to be the 3rd string QB, so I don't think he plans on drafting a QB. Coming from Harvard, he has to be smart, he was successful in college, has good size, a good arm, and once M3 takes him to his QB school he could turn out to be pretty good, maybe better than Flynn.

Overview
Blessed with an athletic frame, the 6-foot-5 Pizzotti left his mark in the Harvard and Ivy League record books, as he was one of only a handful of players to take part in three Ivy League Championships. The 2008 Walter Payton Award finalist has great patience and poise in the pocket, as he ranked among the nation's leaders for fewest interceptions thrown over the past two years (eight). He would close out his Crimson career with a 20-2 record as the team's starting quarterback.

I don't know much after the top four QBs, but I may be in the minority in that I like Colt McCoy the most. I don't like Claussen. Maybe it's because Quinn did poorly, and so did the other Claussen (Jeff Brohm and Brian Brohm, come to mind). It's mostly due to a sort of shot put windup he has. Bradford looks frail to me. He also looks like a QB that gets easily rattled. McCoy might be the only top four QB that I like. I have doubts about Tebow--although I think it would be intriguing to see what McCarthy could do with him.

I'm very high on Colt McCoy. I'm not sure more than Bradford, but close. Like him more then Claussen and definitely more than Tebow.

As you know.....I'm a fan of many teams and have been a RAM fan since the 80's with Pat Haden.

If I was the Rams, I'd trade down...but with no takers, if I was the Rams I'd undoubtedly take the top DL. Then I'd draft Colt McCoy in round two. Or make a deal work for McNabb.

Sam Bradford= Eli Manning
Jimmy Classen = Joe Flacco
Colt McCoy= Brady Quinn
Tim Tebow = Really can't compare him to anyone but don't see him doing much in the NFL.

Interesting; I might go

Bradford = Eli Manning
Claussen = Quinn
McCoy = Drew Brees but not nearly as good
Tebow = No clue

I dunno. I'm not a McCoy fan at all. I think he's more like Doug Pederson.

Just wondering why Claussen reminds you of Quinn? Besides for playing at ND their games are very different.

Claussen/Quinn-

Both had very good coaching in college compared to the norm and that allowed them to look pretty good to step in and run a pro style offense
Neither seems to be a natural leader and my perception is both still have growing up they do....that hopefully will allow them to see some NFL success

I am a Claussen fan, just as I still am a Quinn fan. The thing with both of them is you HAVE/HAD to pull an Aaron Rodgers with them. If you have ever read a lot of Rodgers stuff, he talks a lot about how those first couple of years were a huge ego check for him, and I think both of them need that as well. Sit their butts down, make them study and learn.

If a team allows Claussen to play this year, it will be a huge mistake.

And I do think Quinn will be ok in Denver. Their coach is QB guy, he will help him a lot..and lets face it, Quinn was in Cleveland. I'm not saying he's going to be the next Rodgers, but I think Quinn can still become very good.
