I find the age to not be an issues that just speaks to longevity. And with the new rookie salary things thats so much less a risk financially - Capstern Apr 27, 10:56 12
- They should have traded down to get him. No toher team would have even looked at him for another dozen or so picks, if even then. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:05 3
  - They are in fact the team that was unlucky because they wanted to take Kendall Wright at 22. With him off the board, they panicked and reached. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:06 2
    - Like I meantioned last night, talking to Bob Lung (big Browns fan) and he was speechless they took him. - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:22 1
      - He's fine as a late second/early third. Picking him at #22 and trading away the competition is car-razy. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:24
- The last three older QBs who went in the draft were Drew Henson, Chad Hutchinson and Chris Weinke. In the NFL, age is not in fact nothin but a number -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:01 5
  - I always hate these comparissions. Each person is differnt from the other - past performance is very unlikely to dictate future results - Capstern Apr 27, 11:02 4
    - Alternately, those who don't learn from history... -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:04 3
      - Yes but each situation is unique (53 players), coach, team, opponents, systems, etc - Capstern Apr 27, 11:14 1
        
        Systems are unique. What is not is player behavior. QBs in particular need time to acclimate. - David Apr 27, 11:17
      - Are doomed to get married again? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:07
- i don't think anyone in the AFC North is worried that Brandon Wheedon is going to beat them with his arm - pixitude Apr 27, 10:58 1
  - This will come down to if the RB is the stud everyone thinks he is and - Capstern Apr 27, 11:03
