It isn't terribly likely that either is great.. Great QBs like Manning/Brady/Brees/Rivers come every few years out of what like 12-13 QBS taken in the first round? Not good odds. I just don't like the risk/time requirement needed isn't worth it when we have a guy that can be a winner. And I don't like that we can't really tell how good he is since he is constantly getting pounded.

I agree and I voted yes as well. There are only a small handful of "great" QBs on earth. We're sure not going to get anyone better than JC in FA, and no one we could draft will step in as a rookie and play better than JC.
I'd like to see what he can do with some system consistency when he's not getting beaten to a pulp every single game. I heard Larry Michael say that Jason was sitting in an ice tub with a black eye after the Giants game on MNF last week. And we all saw the shots he took against Dallas. He gets the sh*t kicked out of him every week, and he never complains, and always gets back up, sticks his chin out, and keeps fighting. Gotta love that. Give the man some protection and he'll be fine.
I've said this ad nauseum, but I do think we should draft a guy later in the draft like a Tony Pike or Dan Lefevour to develop as well.
