QB Class gets weaker

The quality of QB's in this particular draft class isn't like every other year. It is very below average.

Also Shanahan has a great track record developing QB's? Like John Elway and Steve Young? They were both fully developed Hall of Famers before he even started working with them.

Who did he develop? Maybe Jake Plummer. Kind of.

Jay Cutler? See what I mean.

I hope we don't reach on a QB, but if we do pick a QB in the first round I will be hopeful that they really do see someone with that "it" factor which I have no doubt Shanahan should be able to recognize.
Young was shaky as hell and almost got tossed to another team until the season that Shanahan came in; it's been pretty well spoken that Shanahan is who helped him turn it around.

I didn't realize that Shanahan came to San Fran that early in Young's development.

Jake Plummer was a pro bowl alternate under Shannahan. Brian Greise (3rd round pick) and Jay Cutler were also pro bowlers when playing for the Bronocs. The huge drop off in production from Cutler just shows how effective Shannahans system is when a guy can go from an 88 QB rating to barely a 70 over the course of a year. Shannahan knows how to get the most out of his QB's. Cutler the Bears QB isn't Shannahans fault. The one that threw for 4,500+ yards and 25 TD's in 2008 can be blamed on Shannahan

The QB class just got stronger. Jevan Snead declared himself eligable for the draft. Maybe worth taking in the second or third.

I know you're wondering...John Skelton would be 7th (I think) on your listI ran some quick correlations on that sack rate data using some of my comparables, and I found that the higher the level of competition a guy faces in college, the more likely that his college sack rate is predictive in the NFL. There are always exceptions (Russell: 5.6% at LSU, 9.7% in NFL), but that bodes well for guys like Bradford and Robinson, poorly for guys like Clausen and Brown, and says basically nothing about Dan LeFevour and John Skelton.

I don't particularly care for any of the quarterbacks in the draft. I'd like to draft Okung in the first and Jason Fox in the second.

At this point, with McCoy getting hurt and Bradford being damanged goods the Skins need to go for an Offensive Lineman. If Okung is available and it looks like he is, then the Skins should go for him. If Shanahan is ready to revive the running game then he is going to need a line to put an RB behind.

Do you all think that Shanahan has completely ruled out Colt Brennan at this point?

I'd like to know how the available QB's look when compared to the college careers of Chase Daniel and Colt Brennan. Do we even have Chase anymore? And what was the name of the QB on the scout team?
