this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; If they take a flyer on Vick let it be as an undrafted FA, They can at least pick up a special teamer or a K with the 7th rounder lol...

Marcus Vick and McPhearson isn't a fair comparison at all.
Vick - Weed possession. Underage girl deal. Pulling a gun on some kids. Stomping on the leg of that Louisville player. McPhearson - Forged one check. |

What about the QB from Grambling, who had the highest Wonderlic? He is a bit pudgey though, but very smart and all

The free agent qb's out there that are left aren't good enough to pass salt at a restaurant, so you're delusional to think that we'll be able to address that need after the draft. Next, to think that drafting one of the remaining qb's in a later round is going to be possible is also dreaming. The days of a Brady taken in the 6th round are over as scouts are MORE aware of qb potential as a result. It's all about getting reps in games against high quality opponents. That's why Cutler has scouts intigued, playing successfully with no support against the best defensive conference in college football.
AMac has less than half a season of college ball under his belt and a little bit of arena. He still hasn't taken on a full offense or faced an NFL defense, and probably is another 2-3 years away from being a capable #2. Bouman is not an answer for all the reasons from the above; he was kept on because he wasn't a threat to AB. It's not acceptable to have a crummy backup in the NFL anymore because of the rate of injury among starters. Too many promising seasons have ended up with early first round drafts because of the lack of succession planning. With all the risk inherent in Brees, it behooves the team to make a wise selection and take a quarterback in the 1st two rounds. |

Yeah, FA QBs left on the market aren't very good (I think we all hope Collins doesn't try to make a "triumphant" return), but when the next round of cuts come down and new guys have been draft by other teams, we will be able to pick up a quality backup...which is what we need....not a flying leap with a 5% chance of panning out like Vick. He wasn't even that good in college when he decided to act like a real man...in a McD's parking lot....in front of high-schoolers.
And yeah, the days of finding a QB diamond in the rough like Brady or Hasselbeck are done, (actually not) but what about the other positions where we can get value at #7? Bockwaldt is a 7. Karney is a 5. (no hate here, just saying, so don't freak out on me! ) |
