2012 QB Class

I wouldn't even put Luck in the conversation. No way we'll be in a position to draft him or pay the price to move up to get him. I haven't seen much of the others, but RGIII has been impressive so far. Still 3 big games to go for him.

I was just looking for a way to start the thread without a specific explanation so I settled on rankings, and once I settled on rankings I figured that any 2012 QB class ranking list needs to start with Andrew Luck regardless of the remote impossibility of us being in position to draft him.

Initial Rankings
1. Andrew Luck - Stanford
2. Landry Jones* - Oklahoma
3. Matt Barkley* - USC
4. Nick Folles - Arizona
5. Robert Griffin III* - Baylor

* - Denotes underclassmen.

Have at it

Luck is an underclassmen. He could return to Stanford for one more season.

I posted quick and didn't pay attention to the key word "rankings". I agree with you, Luck is definitely top of the class.

My bad ESPN for some reason list him as a Senior on his player card. On the other hand I did not know this bit of trivia.


Luck was born in Washington, D.C.,[3] the son of Oliver Luck, current athletic director and a former quarterback at West Virginia University and former NFL quarterback for the Houston Oilers, and Kathy Wilson Luck. Andrew Luck spent his early childhood in London, England and Frankfurt, Germany, where his father was general manager of two World League of American Football teams prior to becoming president of the league. He is the oldest of four children, Mary Ellen, Emily, and Addison, who currently reside in Houston, Texas. In London, he attended The American School in London.[4]


Is it fate?

I rather see us go for Tannhill or Barkely. Isn't the Wisconsin QB a senior? I like RGIII, but I want to see him play the bigger boys before I want him on the Skins. Outside of Oklahoma, OSU, and Tex A&M, the Big 12 sucks as bad as the Big Ten this season. To be honest from what I have witnessed, I rather get the kid from Wisconsin over RGIII.

not sold on landry jones as an elite prospect. like i said RGIII is my favorite and i think he would fit perfectly in our system. accurate, a leader, and extremely mobile. plus he just keeps getting better. kellen moore would be good too, regardless of arm strength issues. hes smart, reads the game well, is extremely accurate, a winner, and has a quick release.

tannehill is a good shout, but i dont know about top 3.

Why not Landry Jones?

What's with Tannhill? I wouldn't mind him in on the second or third day but QB's with such little experience don't usually fare well at the NFL level. Remember this is a guy that spent the first 30 games of his college career playing receiver.

Boise State's Kellen Moore is as imposing as a grocery - 10.24.11 - SI Vault (http://cnnsi.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?expire=&title=Boise+State%27s+Kellen+Moore+is+as+imposing+ as+a+grocery+-+10.24.11+-+SI+Vault&urlID=462768077&action=cpt&partnerID=289881&fb=Y&url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1191418/index.htm)

Thank you. I've been looking for an opinion from a big name scout. Mostly everything else I've heard has been from Bleacher Report types.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. says Moore is "at best, a late-round pick." The scout quoted earlier, a Moore fan, ticked off his two most commonly cited shortcomings: size and arm strength. On the subject of size, it wasn't so much Moore's height that concerned him as his lack of bulk. The scout wonders if the quarterback, at 191 pounds, can handle the pummeling he'd take in the league.


Granted Kiper has been wrong before but a big part of his research comes from conversations with NFL scouts so I have to imagine that that grade for Moore is rooted partly in how he is viewed by NFL front office personnel.

I really think Kellen Moore is the best option for us to draft. He plays under center, and sells a great PA. He's highly accurate, and is a proven winner
