Brian Hoyer-New England Patriots

Chad Henne-New York Jets

Josh Johnson-Seattle Seahawks

Kyle Orton-St. Louis Rams

Jason Campbell-Chicago Bears

So in this scenario, what would happen to Kolb in AZ? I recall I did a similar projection with Manning to AZ, Kolb to Cleveland (reunited with former Philly coaches and front office personnel) and Flynn to Miami. Kolb is due a nice chunk of change in March and Skelton played well enough to be a primary backup.

So Campbell's days as a starter are done? I'd think he could contend for the starting job in Seattle, KC, Miami, Cleveland and be an experienced QB in waiting in Denver should the full season Tebow experiment go awry.

I doubt it. Luck has a higher floor and is much less of an injury risk which after a year without Peyton is a huge selling point for the Colts. The question isn't weather RGIII is going to get injured but rather when.

I personally like Griffin more but if I was picking for the Colts I would take Luck. Luck is much more equipped to run a pro style offense in terms of routes and reading coverage out of a traditional NFL offense. He also has just as strong an arm as Griffin and while he's no where near the scrambler that Griffin is he can definitely move and pick up yards with his feet as well as create second chance opportunities.

There is no doubt that Baylor's offense is gimmicky and probably has some odd reads and adjustments which will factor against Griffin.

And theres no doubt Griffin can learn these things but with Luck it is less likely to be an issue.

I will say this though. Griffin is more likely to win rookie of the year then Luck even though Luck will be the better passer right out of the gate.

Um Kolb to Jacksonville? Or heck even Campbell there.

I mean these are just some rumored options. Nothing etched in stone.

Would new England even be willing to trade hoyer? If so what would it take? And would he come in as the undisputed starter?

i bet you could snag hoyer with a 3rd if you were so inclined

And I bet NE would take that 3rd round pick and laugh their asses off while hanging up the phone.

I'd have to agree with this as well. No way the Redskins allow any other team other than the Colts to make a play for Luck. I think in this case, all forms of logic would probably go out the window.

That's what I'm thinking and hoping for, idk ill buy u a skins shirt or something lol

If that happens the Rams will be able to draft a super bowl roster in the next two drafts.

He's a pocket passer who has Mike Vick type speed and all of a sudden he's a scrambling QB. How many big hits did he take on in college? Does he take tackles head on like Cam and Luck do? At 6'2" 220lbs he isn't small but he's also not stupid. I'm sure he knows how and when to slide.

Don't know but all it takes it one which he took a knee injury for. If I'm not mistaken.

This is what I'm thinking and banking on. RGIII is getting so much hype and it's all in regards to his mobility. I'm betting the coaching staff there will want to pick him up because he will (as everyone else believes) buy time with his legs or get the first down himself. I mention this because it helps while the rest of the players are still learning the offense, ie; WR routes, OL blocking schemes.

The next big question is would Luck fall to number 6? Personally I feel Luck would have a better chance of making it to #6 vs. RGIII and it's not because I think RGIII is a better QB, it's because Luck is an unknown and offers not much of a different option for those other teams... Rams- Bradford, Vikes- Ponder, Browns- McCoy, all pocket passers. Luck might be more accurate or might be able to throw farther but otherwise the QB they have already knows the system and they would be better off keeping their QB who knows their system and build around him. RGIII is different because he has his legs to extend a play which is not what those teams have right now.

RGIII play style is more like a faster Steve Young IMO

I agree. Based off of what I said above though. I also feel Luck would be better in our system then RGIII. I love the idea of RGIII and his mobility but I don't see our coaching staff changing our system to RGIII's abilities. Basically we would be sitting back as fans screaming for him to run the whole time we are watching him getting sacked. <- just my feeling.

Our coaching staff I think would prefer a pocket passer who will go through all his progressions and can feel the pressure and step aside to elude it. Why I think Beck was sitting in the pocket more then Grossman and hardly ran for first downs himself.
