Rivers stats are impressive he could be a solid pick up

and

Roethlisberger could also be a solid pick up

Rivers and Roethlisberger are at the same hieght Rivers is just a couple of pounds lighter so he could be a little more ofa mobile threat and he still is a load to handel and he could fall to us.

I have heard some good things about Roethliberger. from what I under stand he has good pocket presence but from what we see in his stats he cam run with it as well.

So either of these two guys would be a very good pick up.

Rivers is second in NCAA history in passing yards. Intriguing when you find out that he's had 4 different offensive coordinators in his 4 years at NC State.

for any QB no matter college or pro to go through 4 different OC and still put up good nubers is impresive.

Man the Manning name is a winner to me and if he is anything like his dad or his brother that is the man I want in a Bills uniform!!!!

**NC-BILLS44** · 11-18-2003, 01:36 PM

Manning is ok, but I would like a QB with some fire and passion. I hope he's not like his brother. I still favor Rivers.

I don't like Rivers all that much. His arm is kinda suspect.

But give me Roethlisberger any day. I love that kid.

Roethlisberger is the real deal. Hes got an arm, he can get out of the pocket, and he is vert smart. He reminds me of Chad Pennington. Buffalo would be a nice fit for him, because he wouldnt have to play right away and could adjust to the surroundsings. Not to mention he would have Eric Moulds and Travis Henry to back him up.

Out of three you listed Ben is the top QB. Manning has no fire, Phillip has a questionable arm and has developed some bad mechanics. You wanna look at some numbers take a look at Josh Harris's numbers:
8- Josh Harris, Bowling Green 6-3 238lbs

Josh Harris is one of the most dangerous QB’s in this draft class. He can beat you with his arm or his legs. He has a cannon for an arm, and amazing speed for his size. He is a very accurate passer and can most definitely sling the long ball. He is a consistent threat to run out of the pocket and can throw on the run. He has not yet faces big time competition in college while playing in the MAC. He will need some time to develop, but the kid is simply going to be a star in my opinion. But hey don’t believe me, talk to the Mr. Jim Tressel about him: Upon review of Ohio State's triple overtime win over N.C. State, coach Jim Tressel stopped by the defensive coaches' offices Sunday night to ask their final appraisal of Wolfpack quarterback Philip Rivers. "Is Philip Rivers about as good as any (quarterback) you've seen?" Tressel asked. "Their response was, 'So far. Wait 'til you see Josh Harris.'"
-- Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel.Or if you don’t like that one you can also hear from Toledo LB Tom Ward who also plays in the MAC :“He reminds me of Michael Vick . . . He can run very well and cut back and forth. Once you get him out of the pocket and scrambling, boom, he hits someone deep for a big play, or he takes off running and leaves you frustrated." Also to add as a last note Harris has a total of 81 TD (3 come way of receiving).

He is definitely a qb of the times! Good runner and passer! Should be a nice pickup in the 3rd or 4th round!
I dont think he will go any higher!

Great Prospect!

I agree

He hasn't developed bad mechanics. he's always thrown that way. During the FSU game, last Saturday, the commentators started talking about his throwing motion. They said that since he was 4 yrs old he's been throwing a regular size football. That has always been his throwing motion. When Norm Chow (OC @ USC) was the OC at NC State he decided not to mess with the motion because of how accurate he was and how quick the ball comes out. 72.3% completion percentage!!!
