The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

[30gut]

I find the differing perceptions between Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford interesting.

Other then McCoy playing in a much more difficult division their career production this far has been similar if not identical.

Yet everyone in this forum (and beyond) seems convinced that the Browns want to use the 6th pick or move up to replace him.
Yet very few or none seem to think that Rams sitting at No.2 will replace Bradford.

Must be good to be perceived as a franchise QB.

Preach.

The only way I don't think RG3 is going to be there at third overall is if the Rams are willing to take him (and start him) at no. 2 overall.

Perception is everything.

Im all for getting RGIII, but if a trade up to get him was TOO expensive, another plan could be morris claiborne with in the first round pick and possibly nick foles with the second round pick. Then add OL depth WR, and ILB. Thatd be awesome.

Prove your point statistical becasue I beleive Bradford has been a much better QB to date then McCoy.

Sam Bradford Stats - St. Louis Rams - ESPN

Colt McCoy Stats - Cleveland Browns - ESPN


One was paid close to 30 million for those two years, the other one a ham sandwich and a bag of chips.

Lazy and thorough. Interesting...

Thoroughly lazy? Or lazy with thoroughness?
