2012 Draft-QB Prospects (Part III)

T.O.Killa

Has anyone calculated if the Colts beat the Jags if they still would have the first pick assuming that Minnisota or the rams or all three are 2-14. Because that could change the entire draft. If Minnasota gets the number one pick they will draft Luck, I would think. Same thing with the Rams. I would be all for trading to get Bradford, but not to interested in Ponder.

To me though, the big thing is that the Redskins need to show that they are finally on the right track. The thing is: there are a lot of indicators, very real indicators, that suggest that Mike Shanahan is the worst coach in the recent history of the Redskins. But all of them are small sample indicators: consecutive home losses, lack of a meaningful winning streak, historically poor performance within the division.

If Shanahan can put together a three game winning streak here, a lot of the evidence that he's the worst coach in recent memory weakens considerably. And I would be more than happy to point out that my arguments that suggest he should be fired after two years are weakening, if in fact he can weaken them.

So the Redskins should go out these last two weeks, win by two touchdowns each week and show, finally, that Mike Shanahan deserves to be the head coach of this team. Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen have been incredibly careful to not give a public vote of confidence to their head coach. If the Redskins win these last two games, they'll look very smart by comparison because a vote of confidence will not be necessary. We'll be pretty close to (if not on) the proverbial right track.

Stop, just stop. The Rams will not draft Luck nor trade Bradford. Minnesota will not draft Luck nor trade Ponder. Just stop.

With current records, the Colts still get the first pick at 2-14. But it's close enough where if the NFC North or NFC West totally tanks as a division down the stretch, the Colts could miss the first pick at 2-14.

Remaining non-conference games for NFC North, NFC West:

Steelers at 49ers (tonight)
Chargers at Lions
Cardinlas at Bengals

If the Steelers beat the 49ers, the Bengals beat the Cardinals, and the Colts beat the Jags or Texans while the Rams lose out, there's at least a small chance the Rams could pick at first overall. Otherwise, no real chance.

Maybe as bad as?

I think Spurrier is a different animal though. Horrible head coach, put the franchise in a terrible spot. Still, longest losing streak was four games, longest home losing streak was three games, worst home record was 3-5. Shanahan's got all that beat, and against an easier schedule than Spurrier faced. Overall record favors Spurrier by a game. But I don't care so much about that.

Spurrier was unspeakably awful inside the division though. A division that was just as down then as the one Shanahan is competing in now.

I know facts about the job Shanahan has done make people queasy though.

I think we bottomed out as a franchise the last year of Zorn---a bottom out from every perspective of an organization. No matter who they brought in, we werent gonna win, for at least several years. Has he been perfect? nope...i think he is moving in the right direction

In the off chance that either Minn or St. L. get the first pick, I suspect they will have a Luck auction with plenty of suiters offering multiple 1st and 2nd round picks. Each have their "QB of the Future" on the roster but have holes to fill around him.

I think your wrong, but either way they will either pick him or deal the pick. The pick will be worth crazy money. If the Colts dont pick first it changes everything.

Trade the pick? Sure, could happen. Draft Luck and trade Bradford or Ponder? Not a chance.

Absolutely no way the Rams or the Vikings pick Andrew Luck in the draft.

I am telling right now, Minnesota takes Luck without even a debate. Bradford becomes a 60/40 proposition, in favor of keeping Bradford and getting a truck load of draft picks for years to come, that could solidify the teams Oline and secondary. Wh
