[quote=GusFrerotte;849712]I rather see us go for Tannhill or Barkely. [B]Isn't the Wisconsin QB a senior? [/B]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.[/quote]

Russell Wilson, 5th year senior and transfer from NC State. From my hometown of Richmond. Went to Collegiate (a private school). ESPN had a really good show about him. He is playing really well for the Badgers this year.

[quote=SmootSmack;849846]I'm all for getting 2 QBs in next year's draft.

We had a few of those guys come in a few months ago and they ran some drills. If the game was all about passing drills, I'd probably take Nick Foles 10 out of 10 times. But when he's in an actual game, I'm just not overly impressed.[/quote]
Foles looks good tonight vs UCLA. AZ 42 - UCLA 7 @ the half !

It's settled then Foles and Moore 2012!!

Seriously though, I'll have to go back and watch tonight's game. But like I said he came to campus with Matt Barkley, and-jeez I'm drawing a blank on the other guys-I want to say Ryan Lindley and some other dude. Anyhow, Foles showed the strongest, most accurate arm of the three. Easily

At this time , things look good for the Skins , as the QB class has a number of possible NFL starting qb's . If we take a qb in rd 1 or 2 , and Moore does fall into rd 4 , I would like us to take him also , hard to see him lasting that long .

Re: 2012 QB Class
 

I think part of the reason foles isn't getting much respect from the scouts (or hype I should say) is because he plays on a bad team, whose a bottom dweller in their conference, much like Jake Locker with washington (the only difference is that Locker was hyped up whereas Foles isn't because of Luck and Barkley)

Side note on that game...wow Rick Neuheisel not really doing a great job at UCLA. Kinda thought he get them back on track by now.

Re: 2012 QB Class
 

Top prospects IMO:

1. Luck
2. Barkley
3. Foles
4. Jones
5. RG3
6. Moore
7. Cousins
8. Tannehill

First 5 listed are very legit 1st round talent.

Re: 2012 QB Class
 

Haven't watched any OK football, but has Landry Jones regressed? I thought most analysts considered him just behind Luck.

There's alot of football left to be played this year. My guess is we'll draft in the 13-17 range. If so, we could potentially move up to a top 5 or 6 and the cost wouldn't kill us. It helps that the worst teams don't need qb's.

Indi, Car, St Louis don't need a qb but each could and might take Luck. I don't think Carolina would but Indi and St Louis might.

Not in my eyes. I think Landry Jones would look good in burgundy and gold. His numbers so far this year:
rating 156.0
comp pct 67.6
yards 2177
ypa 8.6
TD 16
INT 6

The thing I don't like about Landry Jones' prospects with the Skins is, he is a career 20% passer outside the pocket. Between our o-line and his inaccuracies outside the pocket, I can see him really struggling in Shanny's roll out/boot leg system.

The only way I can imagine St. Louis drafting a QB is if Bradford has a career ending injury. They have enough other needs that overshadow QB like their oline and a potential heir to S. Jackson among other things.

I'm not a fan of the "athlete" QB but there's just something about Griffin that makes me like him. It's amazing how accurate he is, how well he throws on the move and how smart he is. To me, it's:

Luck
Barkley
Griffin
Jones
Everyone else


I'm still not sold on Moore as a franchise qb, but I'd be fine with adding him as a later round pick as insurance.

Re: 2012 QB Class
 

What about the idea of trying to sign Matt Flynn? He's a FA after this season and has looked pretty good in very limited action. I don't see how the Packers could afford to keep him nor why he would want re-sign when he could start elsewhere.

Unless Beck tears it up and gets us into the playoff's , I would like for the Skins to add a F/A Qb and draft one in rd 1 or 2 . Flynn would be aguy Im sure they will consider . I wish I could play Qb at this level and lead the Skins ...... I would be the most popular guy on the Warpath !!!

If you sign Flynn, it's probably going to be for big money or at least pretty big money, so that might negate the likelihood of drafting a qb early. Although that could lead to the addition of a guy like Blackmon or if Fletcher leaves/retires, Vontaze Burfict.
