But man, what a stupid comment to make about McNabb. Only an idiot would honestly say he didn’t amount to anything. The guy is a hall of fame candidate; if you don’t agree with that, you surely would if he won but one more game (SB39). A game in which he threw for three touchdowns- and only Kurt Warner has thrown for more yards in a Super Bowl. And he had no running game. And a gimpy Owens.

By the way, it’s comments like this that justify one hundred percent why the guy admits he is the most unfairly criticized quarterback of all time. To honestly be compared to Akili Smith and Tim Couch.

This site is “journalism” at its best, isn’t it?

Perhaps mcnabb is right and he is one of the most under valued players ever

Look at Ponder and Gabbert last year, these teams needed QB’s so they drafted guys in the early first round who probably shouldn’t grade out as first round talent, then instead of them getting eased into things, they get overloaded when they aren’t ready and therefore fail.

Brady Quinn was a “sure thing” too. Remember him?
=========================

Actually I remember it a little differently.

I remember certain members of the media calling him a sure thing, but then him slipping all the way to #22.

I would have no problem with Tannehill going at #22. That would certainly be more appropriate than #4.

Top 5? This guy didn’t even have a FIRST ROUND grade on some boards until the Browns and Dolphins lost out on Manning/RGIII/Flynn. Now he’s Top 5? What a joke.

That said, I have to say one thing in his defense:

He is not a “converted wide reciever”. He came to A&M as a quarterback, and was temporarily moved to wide reciever as a freshman because there were too many other QBs ahead of him on the depth chart and they wanted to use him right away.

I mean, they do need a QB for the games in which Vick is hurt, which happens every year, however that is still alot of money tied up in QBs. Even with the new rookie scale.

If he gets forced to start right away, it’s going to go as well as Blaine Gabbert’s rookie season went. He may be a better WR prospect than QB prospect. I pray the Dolphins take him.

Also, let’s just accept that the Browns will take Trent Richardson first and then Kirk Cousins in the second round… It’d just be so Cleveland.

Just as long as someone other than the Browns takes Tannehill.

————-

The Eagles are not trading up to #3. As for needing a tackle, they need a tackle for one year.

luck = ryan leaf

rg3 = jamarcus russell

tannehill = heath shuler

Just kidding!

rg3 = jamarcus russell

tannehill = heath shuler

Actually, not standing pat with Vick is more likely to get them fired. What would you do? Cut Vick, draft Tannehill and make him the starter????

OK, now we’re getting a bit out of control here. First, Luck was the consensus # 1. Then the media started hyping Griffin to the point where many now believe Griffin is better than Luck.

Now it begins with Tannehill actually having superior accuracy on the run than Griffin or Luck.

The next thing you know there will be rumors that the Colts are going to pick Tannehill, and won’t the Redskins be mad then…

How is HIS opinion worth any more weight than anyone else’s that has watched a bunch of film or game tape ???

The same with Mel Kiper at ESPN. If he is such a draft “expert” as those at the alphabet tout him, then why hasn’t even one NFL team brought him in for an interview for a GM position, much less hired him as such in his nearly 30 years at ESPN as supposedly being the smartest person in the room on draft day ???
