I cant believe we helped out the Broncos by not only interviewing Tebow but then trading our spot and losing out on Bryant WTF

Good job we have another 12 picks to trade

Its a good job I trust no sleeves

....and even then missing out on the best CB available for a 2nd round prospect. Maybe the evil genius is losing his mind (or it's all a conspiracy).

I think I will trust one of the best coaches in the game rather than you as to if he got a pick right




I knew we would end up trading that pick though Im just suprised we stayed in round 1 TBH

and with the Clausen/Bradford debate I really havent seen enough of them to make a judgement(I dont watch college football)

But I think comparing them to Rodgers and Alex Smiths situations is a bit silly, Smith was thrown straight into a bad team whereas Rodgers was learning from one of the best QB`s around for a long time as you know, not many people can say that and thats why he has become such a good QB now.

I wonder what Sam Bradford's contract will be like ?

I heard someone mention a while back the figure of $50 million guaranteed as a possibility


Oh and if ST Conroy is reading this sit down before you read this next bit Im possibly about to agree with you about something!!!

Im starting to agree with you about McDaniels ever so slightly, he was in position to take Bryant and instead got Thomas and "QB" who shouldnt be playing for a while but will probably start next year WTF was he thinking?

I haven't ever compared Bradford/Clausen to Smith/Rodgers in any way other than on the basis of the draft so i think your misinformed or have misread what i have said.

THE ONLY way i have compared them is to say that often very good QB's can fall like Rodgers(you could also use Brady Quinn considering how he was rated coming out from college) and that i think the Rams have made a similar mistake (taking the wrong QB, as San Fran did).

They are also comparable in terms of systems. Bradford like Smith comes from a gimmicky spread offence (though less of a spread i admit) and Clausen, like Rodgers, comes from a more pro style offence.

I'm not saying Clausen will be as good as Rodgers or Bradford as bad as Smith and vice versa but only comparing them in terms of the DRAFT SITUATION.

I was ridiculed for my views of McDaniels but i'm correct!


He has managed to change Cutler and Marshall to Tebow and Thomas in just over a year.

It's about time that rookies had a salary cap as the amounts they get are stupid.

If Weatherspoon's still on the board at 19, we take him.

No way we take an offensive lineman with a first round pick.

Pfft - supposed mock draft experts, what do they know?

Your right mate I did read it wrong .

I dont see a problem with them choosing a different QB to the top rated one though TBH they have obviously run there own tests with all the QB`s they were interested in, maybe they have seen something that they particularly liked or maybe they saw something in Clausen they didnt?!?

As long as they dont get a Ryan Leaf type situation they should have themselves a good QB on their hands and if they dont then at least they will be #1 next year too
