I say the same about Andrew luck.. awesome hes supposed to be the next best thing.. the next peyton manning, but College and NFL level are on a completely different level than one another... my friends have played college, 1 played for humboldt.. Division 2 but still.. and i dont see him in the NFL and he was starting tackle lol.

Why would it be?? If you dont think the level of play between college level and NFL is HUGE your sadly mistaken.. and he hasnt played any snaps... Wasnt Cam newton supposed to be a bust as the #1 pick? and hes doing alright.. you just never know..
Originally posted by SundayTicket:You compared a Div II guy to a Div 1 QB...Now you assume that Newton will stay good; could happen, will likely happen but dont forget that Derek Anderson played in Chudzinkis offense well, too but it was only for a year.

this ryan leaf was a sure thing too
luck has the best o line in college football (full of 1st round picks)
he will be going to a team (most likely) without a good o line
well see
no such thing as a sure thing prospect

There definitely are teams more desperate than us to improve the position. But if flynn does have any say in it(i.e not tagged and waved around by GB as trade bait), we are a better choice for him as far as having a chance to make the playoffs than a miami or seattle would be. We're becoming a better destination for FAs.
I feel like if we want to ever really improve the position we have to just let alex go, grab someone like Flynn or another draft pick, and give the guys we've got a real chance to compete. Take our bumps and bruises until one of them emerges. If we can get Alex Smith to play in this smart/quick decisionmaking WCO style, why can't we do it with guys who have more talent but less experience?
Alex has done a good job managing the game, giving our team a chance to keep important drives going when he needs to("clutch" is what the coach called him, but I'd say his redzone #'s are too low to call him that), and not turning the ball over. The fear is that rookies or backups like Flynn couldn't give us the chance to win games the way Alex has. The problem is that you either get better or worse, I don't think alex is ever going to be the long term solution so at some point whoever is meant to be that solution needs to get real game time experience. You might have a dalton(13 picks) or newton(17 picks), ponder(13),ect. But most of those guys will learn to make the smart decisions and refine their games.
Flynn is still an unknown, like a draft pick or prospect would be. One great game does not make a career.(even though alex has never thrown for that many yards or that many TD's in a game). Still, I think you sign him, let him compete with Kaep(who has a year learning the system and should look a lot better than last preseason), and tolzien who looked good last preseason but never got a chance after that. You're bound to find someone better than alex in that group I bet :P
