Not sure. Def behind Luck and RG3. Russell Wilson has been a surprise...and I don't know about Tannehill(havent seen him)

He has the worst numbers and the least wins. I don't know how you could make an argument otherwise.

yeah..i mean its not really a knock on Weeden. He has looked good some, bad some, and average. I am just pretty impressed with the other 4 rookies.

Fake Pat Shurmur ‏@FakePatShurmur I keep saying it takes a while to build a winner. 3 teams finished last year worse than us. Those teams have 5, 3 and 5 wins respectively.

The 1 team that was even with us also has 4. Depressing.

At least Jacksonville still sucks. We aren't the only ones.

I was bummed he couldn't do live in game tweeting again today because he would have had a field day with all the material Shurmur gave him to work with today.

Yet, I said I wish we were winless last year so we could get Luck, and people call me a faux fan. Riiiight.

But the difference is there isn't an Andrew luck in this draft or an rgIII I would dump weedon in a heart beat for a luck type qb.

My only question regarding the rookie qbs is....does Weeden have the worst surrounding cast? Today, it didn't matter...he was so god damn terrible, he could have had calvin johnson and it wouldnt have mattered.

Luck has Wayne and the Redskins tried to surround RG3 with a bunch of FAs.

I really don't think his cast is anywhere near the worst.

He by far has the best offensive line..which is probably the most important position to be good surrounding a QB.

Trent is a beast. Josh Gordon is a beast.

His WRs do drop a ton of balls though, that you cannot deny.

I'd say its close with Weeden and Tannehill with the worst around them. I think Wilson has the best cast around him and he hasn't impressed me much at all.

I think Trent is a beast and Gordon is GOING to be a beast. So happy they sold out and got Gordon...probably the one correct move this FO has made

Weeden's cast out of the 5:

#1 O-line
#2 rb
somewhere between 3-5 with WRs.
Debatable with them. Garcon has hardly played this year for Washington. I dont even know another WR on the Dolphins besides Hartline. Weeden is throwing to 3 #2 picks, and a college teammate. Id rank them at 4.

I dont know if casts should be relevant, though. We all know it wasnt allowed to be an excuse for McCoy.

My worries with Weeden are that he will be Derek Anderson. He has a cannon and throws some beautiful balls...but then he turns around and makes terrible decisions. I just want to hold off judgement on him for awhile.

None of the 5 have very good receivers overall - Miami's is probably the worst although Washington is pretty bad without Garcon (Morgan and Hankerson?). The Colts have the worst O-line and running back situation.

I think Luck and Tannehill have the worst surrounding pieces overall.

Seriously? Luck would have been the number 1 pick if he came out as a junior. He was the most sure fire qb possibly ever. RgIII was also a semi low bust factor as well. Look at this years qb's they all have major flaws. Could they turn out to be studs sure but that's a huge risk to draft them in the first round let alone top 5. Especially when we have much bigger needs then qb right now.

They def have bigger needs than qb...can we draft Saban?

Crimson all I'm saying is you don't know how the QBs are going to turn out in this upcoming draft. Sure, there are no "hype" QB's like Luck, but that doesn't mean someone won't shoot up the draft boards after the senior game/combine/private workouts and turn out to be great. Happens almost every year it seems.
