Qb's to consider in this years draft

I pretty much agree with you. I don't advocate drafting Manning. I don't think he's as much of a can't miss QB as his older brother and I'm not willing to pay the price to move up. I think JP Losman might last until the second round. I think he might be a lot like his predecessor at Tulane, Patrick Ramsey. Ramsey was a second tier guy, just a hair below the super blue chippers though I think he was a first round pick, and started some as a rookie. As a second year player he's acquited himself pretty well. I think Losman could do the same if Buffalo cut Bledsoe and signed Brunnell to tutor him for a year while starting. The guy on your list that I really don't like is Clausen. As much as he's played, he really ought to be a lot more consistent. He's got all kinds of physical talent, but I'm not sure he's ever going to be the guy you can really rely on. Van Pelt and Harris may not be as good as Clausen right now, but may have more upside.

Phillip Rivers out of NC state might be a legit pick he has size and makes good decisions under pressure.

Rivers doesnt have the arm we need in our offense

Keep in mind that 'our offense' may not be our offense next season, if Gilbride is not the coordinator and Williams is not the coach.

Still doesnt mean we wont throw the damn ball down the field. We have an all-pro wide receiver who likes to get deep, and you cant have a QB with the inability to throw the 25 yard out. It allows the D to stack the line and stuff the run while still playing a 20 yard zone against the pass.

how about we get a line so our qb's don't need to be under pressure all the time!

Rivers will be a star in the NFL, he’s got the whole package-- size, strength, mobility, and intelligence. I’ve seen him grow for 3 years now and on a team with sub-par wrs at NCSU, he’s been spectacular against much better opponents. If the Bills have a chance to get him they should jump all over it.

Josh Harris has a gun.

I like Navarre too.

LOL nothing like throwing a rookie QB to the wolves.

Phil Rivers' problem is an awkward delivery and a low release point according to what I've read. Some people think whoever drafts him will have to rework the mechanics of his delivery. Otherwise he has the necessary tools. What I don't know is the likelyhood of such a change being successful. I'm going on the basis of comments made by so-called draft experts. I've never seen him myself.

Honestly, the class of QB's in this upcoming draft sucks. Losman sucks. I've seen that guy enough to know that he will never be a good pro. I would take Manning but that's about it. He's equivalent to a Harrington.

Have you seen him play this season, if so how does his footspeed look, I havn't seen him play in person for a while and wondered how his pocket presense has progressed this season. CARYBILLSFAN Do you know if that sportsbar in the Preston area shows the Bills games or has all DTV games each Sunday

Good insight, its very apparent you have vast knowledge on the sudject at hand. Anyways the class of QB's coming out is the stronget since the Mcnabb-Culpepper year.

Tiger you are right on the money about Rivers he has to have his mechanics overhauled by whoever drafts him so he can get more zip, power and accuracy on the ball. Might be a very risky pick in my opinion.

EE you are right Harris does have a gun and lots mobility, plus hes 240 and nice load that wont fall over easily (culpepper anybody??) Hes got one of the best arms in the draft and is a competitor to boot of all the QB's in the draft I would put him as #3 on my board.

Zone on 2 sacks Drew took last week vs. Dallas I counted the seconds to myself as to how long he had. And on each he had 3-4 seconds. Now in practice they do 5 seconds and then call out sack. Granted they arent blitzing then. Its not completely the fact that out OL isnt blocking its the fact that teams are blitzing more than we can block because Drew will sit there and go down and probably fumble the ball. It aint mostly the OL, its the QB.

The ACC is going to be the heat this year for basketball fans, then next year the conference expansion will make it a top football confer. Good time to be a sports fan in the middle of ACC COUNTRY. Maybe that young QB at VT will end up being as good as his older brother. ACC COUNTRY
