Lose and You're in (the Quarterback Sweepstakes)

Especially if they have a new coach I think they’ll be in the QB hunt too.

The 49ers have officially been eliminated from the NFC West playoff race. Meaning, the Cardinals and 49ers are the true winners of the conference.

Best of Luck, hope you go deep into the playoffs :)

Say we win Sunday and draft 21. Why not build up our Oline or DE or CB with our picks and maybe grab a QB in the late rounds and suck next year. We would have a tougher schedule next year. It would be a gamble but a gamble that might pay off with a better QB than anything coming out this year.

I would probably blow up The Lake Woebegon Dolphin & Kitten shelter for Barkley to be a Seahawk.

Shanahan still has a major hard on for Locker.

My bet is we end up with Gabbert. And I’m not interested in Newton.

(I don’t watch college football)

I don’t really care what it takes to get him (assuming it’s in the ballpark of value).
We are a long way from being good. He is exciting and my untrained eye thinks he has a high ceiling. I think the team NEEDS to have a new face of the franchise. If we are not going to be good, we might as well have someone the fans will be patient with.

Where does McNabb end up? Are there any others that will be moving?

His size and numbers are great. I don’t think he will come out, but if he did, he would be a steal in the 2nd.

It seems like every new mock draft or board that comes out has Mallet a little lower than the last. He has amazing numbers, the bad work ethic rumors seem to have legs though. He is fun to watch when he is on.

I think it would be smart for Carolina to stick with Jimmy Clausen. He’s cheap, and maybe another year is what he needs to mature in the league. As for Buffalo, I don’t understand why their fans want Andrew Luck. They’ve got Ryan Fitzpatrick, and considering he’s only 28, and considering that he’s had a pretty good year on a pretty mediocre team, and considering that he’s pretty cheap, keeping him sounds like a great idea.

Here’s what Cardinals fans think. We had a poll, and 64% of us over at Revenge of the Birds feel that he’s good, but that we still need to get a QB via FA or the Draft. I think that if Andrew Luck somehow fell to us, we’d take him, because our Coach, Coach Whiz, would snap up the opportunity to show the fan’s that yes, he wants to win, and for the fact that it would help persuade Larry Fitzgerald to sign a new contract. So yes, if Andrew Luck fell to us, we’d almost definitely draft him.

By the way, Coach Whiz has already said that he likes what he sees from John Skelton, but has repeatedly reminded the fan’s that he’s still a rookie and isn’t ready enough to be a full-time starter. We believe he’s the future, but if Andrew Luck fell, we’d snap him up.

That’s just a Cardinals fan speaking, though. Carry on with your discussion.

will be a failure? Look around the league at the best QBs. This year, just 3 of the top 10 QBs (by passer rating) were selected in the top 16 picks. Only 8 of the 22 QBs with an 80 passer rating or better were picked in the first 16 picks in a draft. It helps, but rooting for us to lose just to get a chance at a better QB? I don’t get it.

Top 5 QBs assuming they all declare: Luck, Newton, Locker, Mallett, Gabbert

If we need to move up say 3 slots to #7 it would cost the equivalent of a third rounder or in our case- two 4th rounders… We would do this to perhaps leapfrog AZ or MIN or CLE and as painful as it would be may be worth it.

If we dont trade up or the QB does not fall to us than there are 3 players i would draft vs trade down ( Bowers / Peterson / Green ) supposedly these three players are easily worth pick #10…if the QB isnt there or one of these three then you trade down… jS said he was ready to trade down at 14 last year except if Earl Thomas fell…the trade was all set up…we have so many holes as we all know…thoughts?

Seeing as how we have the 2nd easiest SoS that would put us at 10th in most permutations if we lose.

Unless they tie in both games.

Win the division by shitting on the detestable rams.

Win a top 10 pick by losing.

I’m rooting for a win.

As always, I hope we win and host a playoff game.

Ragardless of whether we win or not, Seattle has too many holes to pass on a more talented prospect in order to reach for a QB. We need draft picks. We already used several on QB and RB. I can’t envision a likely scenario in the upcoming draft where superior DE, DT or CB prospects will be on the board. Frankly, if Luck doesn’t declare, Locker and Newton should both be off the board. The CB class is pretty deep and teams trading ahead of us may feel they can land one in the early second and focus their attention elsewhere, sliding Peterson or Amakamura to the 8-12 range and right into our lap. Few draft pundits thought Okung would drop to us at 6, or Thomas at 14. Every year a player or two drop simply due to team needs and draft day prioritizing. If we lose next Sunday and move up to the 7 or 8 spot, I’d love for Peterson to fall into our lap.

I get that homers want the guy to be successful. I watched him play in high school for two years. Seriously, it would be cool if he made it.

However, I wouldn’t want Seattle to gamble on him in the draft. I don’t see the “tools” that everyone else drools over. I just don’t see it. He’s not near as tall as people think. I’ve stood next to him and I’m a shade under 6’2". He’s not taller than I am. His pocket presence just makes me ill. I’ve never seen him step into a throw while being hit, and I don’t think that’s something that can be learned. You have it, or you don’t. He doesn’t. His accuracy is just plain bad by NFL standards. The numbers are pretty glaring there.

I really wish him well, just would prefer some other team to take that chance instead of the Seahawks.

Is Brady Quinn dead?
