Well lets look at the situation:
We drafted JC late in the first round and after 6yrs he's still a project.
We drafted Brennan in later rounds and he's a project, However he's looked better each year.
I guess my point is your talking about totally skipping the top ranked talent, who might see the field inside of a year to replace Campbell when the team decides to let him walk next year, and pick up a QB late in the draft who most likely wil take several years to develope which time is something we don't have.
#1- Any new HC is going to want a QB that he feels fits his scheme and has not been brainwashed to utilize certain techniques that he does not like.
#2- We all know JC most likely won't be here next year. The front office/owner was ready to get rid of him last year so this year he is simply insurance. So if JC is not going to be here next year when he's a FA then we need to pick up a QB who will be able to take over the reigns either sometime this year or next year. It would be nice to stick him in games when we are ahead by a large margin in order to give him expierence to take over the reigns.
#3- a later round QB will take longer to develope because their talent level is a lot lower and needs to be developed.
I'd rather take a QB at #4 whoever that might be cause at this point Bradford and Clausen both look decent.
