IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
 

Suppose we did take a QB at #10, which one would you want us to draft?

If we were to draft a QB at #10, I would hope it's Jake Locker. He's the only one I would take a chance on that high in the draft. I wouldn't be mad at a Newton pick, but I would probably be at a Mallett pick.

What about the rest of you? Keep in mind the poll results are public

Blaine Gabbert for me.

Damn, I totally forgot about Gabbert. I've added him now. We'll just remember that you wanted Gabbert, not other.

Re: IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
 

I don't want to take a QB at #10.

However, since the question demands such a scenario, I'd take Locker.

great thread....this one requires some serious thought

Re: IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
 

None, I would hate to waste a pick on any of these guys. Hopefully we dropping a second round pick on a QB. I think Mallet is most talented out of them...I just have a feeling he is not gonna mentally be able to make the transition.

Nor I, but to make this poll a question a bit tougher I gave us limited options.

By the way, for those who are curious "Other" doesn't mean "Not a QB" You've got to pick a QB

I want Locker.

Re: IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
 

This is tough, I'm between Locker & Newton but still unsure.

Ask me again when wonderlic scores are posted.

Re: IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
 

None at 10, I'd take locker around 20 but I'll play along and say if we did take one at 10 I would want Newton just because he's a freak athlete And has huge potential

Re: IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
 

Great point by Angry on the Wonderlic scores. Right now, I'll take Mallett. Played in a tougher conference, improved completion % each year, big arm, played solid in big games, carried his team offensively.

Locker had some horrible games, his comp % declined in 2010 with less attempts than 2009, his straight-line speed in the NFL will not be the factor it is in college.

All that being said, we need to move away from the mid-90's Shanny offense and move towards the 2009 Texans passing offense with more run emphasis. Mallett is a better fit for that type of system, than PA and rollouts.

As others have said, at 10 I'm exploring trade-down scenarios or taking best DL or OLB available.

Re: IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
 

I don't think I want any of these guys.

Locker - Questionable decision making, and accuracy/field vision problems. Feels like he could be either a boom or bust in the NFL. Yeahno.

Mallett - In Shanny's system? Yeahno.

Newton - Don't like that he has only one season of CF experience, and I have plenty of off the field personality questions about him. The talent is there, I'm just not sure he has what it takes mentally. If he comes in the NFL thinking he's hot shit and he won't have to work hard to succeed I don't ever see him succeeding in the NFL. That and I still think he was in on his dad's pay for play scheme. There's probably a 50/50 chance I'm wrong on Newton, but I just don't like what I've heard about him so far.

Gabbert? Don't like that he is coming out of a spread system, or the fact that his numbers weren't even that eye popping for being in a spread system. I also think he's not that mobile, at least not to the level Shanny would like. In short, yeahno.

I probably shouldn't have even come into this thread lol. Idw any of them as of this point, to be honest. But since a qb has to be picked for the purposes of this thread, I'll say Newton.

Re: IF We Take A QB At #10...Who Do You Want?
 

I'm drinking the Kool Aid early and saying that Cam has more Big Ben in him then Vince Young. Maybe being a winner is overated and the BCS is corrupt but Newton has won championships on every level since high school (GA State title, JUCO National Championship, SEC Championship, BCS National Championship). I refuse to be miserable through the next few months worrying about Cam Newton, rather I will now choose to embrace him and his God given gifts.

After that my choice would be Locker then Mallet. Maybe Ponder or Delvin in the 4th round but at that point I would rather draft an O-Lineman. Our chances of developing a pro bowl QB after round one obviously drop off substantially.

No question, Lock!
