Foles would immediately be the best QB we've had over the past 6 seasons if he came here. Everybody wants Johnny Unitas right away, how about we just get better at the position since Unitas isn't in the draft or FA this year? If we have a chance to get better at QB immediately the front office wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't try to bring that person in. Good QB's can win a lot of games in this league with talent around them. Foles is a good QB.

Where did I say we shouldn't draft a QB? Because I stated the obvious, that the vast majority of QBs don't pan out? Be serious, that's fact. I'll make it worse, 99.9% of QBs out of the spread in college fail. Miserably. Foles wasnt getting benched for Sanchez. Kelly never said he would. He hardly played bad enough to be benched. He played shitty agains SF, a game they lost. He also went 6-2 in his 8 games, @sf and @az, hardly anything to be worried about. I think there's nothing guaranteed but he had an amazing first season and hardly sucked in year two. I wish we had a QB that threw for 300 plus, had more TDs than INTs, 60 comp % and a QB rating over 80. That would suck around here? Well cross Foles off your list then, because he was a spead QB in college. Unless you think he is part of the 1%. He is, he's been far from a failure. |

Kelly is going to do almost anything to get Mariota, he wants all his ducks in a row, 9 and counting, Foles could fill a voi  ![]() ![]() |

First round picks, stats show, have a much, much better chance of panning out than later round QB picks - it's amazingly difficult to land a franchise QB after the first round. We need to take a chance while we are up this high if the opportunity presents itself.

We need to take a chance while we are up this high if the opportunity presents itself. I agree that we need to find some way to leverage this pick to address the QB spot. The simplest is that one of the two top guys drops to 6. If that would not happen we should either find a way to trade up or trade down in a deal that includes an serviceable QB (e.g. Foles). |

If the Jets give up Mariota when they could draft him, then the CIRCUS headlines will return.
I don't think MacDaddy would want that so if he gets drafted by the Jets, he STAYS a JET imo.

it's so hard for me. on one hand i just dont like mariota as a prospect. i dont think he'll be good. on the other hand i find it irresponsible to pass up a top qb prospect. on the other hand i find it irresponsible to not take all those extra picks. on a fourth hand you often see teams stockpile picks like that and whiff on them all. le sigh Indecisive in other areas of your life?   For me, its the Marino factor. We will pass on Mariota and he will be the next Drew Brees and we will have drafted Johnny Lam Jones.I think we fulfilled that quota already with Stephen Hill.  |
