I would assume that Harbs is still going to get a vet to manage things until the draft pick can step in. We talk so confidently about Harbaugh developing any QB but then get worked up if it might be Locker or Newton. I have my favorites as well but i just decided to take myself out of the QB hunt. I want whoever they want.
If the rookie QB sits for a year and we draft good defense than we can be pretty good next year. the Qb doesn't have to play amazing, just smart. Big Ben was so so his first year. Great D and a Run Game allowed him to develop. Harbaugh and Baelke are smart! I would rather be proactive in the draft and get some of the guys we want than reactive and just wait to see what comes to us.
