Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

[cardsfansince82]

I'll bet a lot of money that Tim Tebow never becomes even an average NFL QB.

If anyone can coach up a quarterback, it's Josh McDaniels. Hell, McDaniels made good quarterbacks out of Kyle Orton and Matt freakin' Cassel.

It's a risky pick, but I do like that the Broncos are adding character guys. And it was more or less a free pick after they acquired all the picks and still got the best WR in the draft.

This entire post is a failure.

How so? McDaniels didn't make good quarterbacks out of Cassel and Orton? Tebow isn't a character guy? The Broncos didn't acquire extra picks? The Broncos didn't get the first WR in the draft, and the guy that they clearly wanted?

All true.

McDaniels didn't really do much with Cassel or Orton. Orton was the same guy this year as he's always been. His only real change was having Brandon Marshall instead of the Bears piss poor receiving corps. Cassel, who knows? He's played all of 30 games in the NFL and had Randy Moss to fling the ball to his first year. I guess Tebow is a character guy, but loving God isn't going to make you a good quarterback. And it wasn't more or less a free pick, it was the 25th overall pick in the draft. You don't waste it on Tim [expletive] Tebow.

You wouldn't get many takers on that, for sure. It's a real risky pick.

And calling Tebow a "character guy" is ESPN speak for his skill set does not translate to the NFL.

So Suh's skillset doesn't translate either? Because they called him a character guy earlier.

They also praise his football skills. What skill in a QB does Tebow possess?

You won't get very good odds on that one.

as a quasi-bronco fan i gotta say, thats a stupid pick

I was secretly hoping the Rams took a chance on Tebow. Just not in the first round. I still can't believe Denver did that. But maybe it'll work out somehow.

First of all, I do agree that I wouldn't have taken him that high.

Orton put up a 86.8 QB rating with the Broncos. That was better than Cutler had done with the Broncos the year before...... and it was Orton's first year in the system. So unless you think Orton is as good a quarterback as Cutler, then you'll have to explain to me how had was more successful than Cutler was the previous year.

Cassel had an 89.4 passer rating under McDaniels, and a 69.9 passer rating last year. Granted, the jury is still out, but those are 2 pretty solid examples.

And Tom Brady had by far his best season under McDaniels.

I'd be pretty surprised if Claussen doesn't go here.

He did well at Florida. Really well. Will that translate? Don't know.

Sounds like Minnesota wanted Tebow also.
