Thanks for your support!
Former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer, who Kubiak coached in Denver, has been working with Klein.
Well see how much Jake has been able to teach him in a short period of time, Kubiak said. (Kleins) a winner. Done a great job in college, so well see.
He is a developmental project. He has the speed and strength to make plays with his feet but he needs to work on his technique and delivery if he's ever going to succeed in the NFL as a QB.
Aaron Rodgers had an extremely odd delivery when he was drafted at 24th overall but was able to learn and develop with the coaches and is now arguably the best QB in the game.
Could Klein have the same results? Most likely no, but there is room to dream.
At least he has chance to work with right coaching staff for a developmental QB.
This. No cost for test driving. Love to be able to trade Yates & Schaub 2014 (or cut)& go with Collin & Keenum even if we still draft a QB high.Big physical, winning leader who flashes Cam Newton core strength, heck yeah I'd take a flyer on him high reward low risk.

No but people in the legal profession are usually excluded.Is there a special handshake or something to get into the draftnik pot store?
To build dynasty, you move younger players up to replace starters when you can. Cuts costs and keeps youngsters motivated. Not all starters are HOFs, jersey in the rafter like AJ. Schaub is a good Qb but not great and like others is helped by the system. If he or others can be replaced with comparable if not exact why not consider?Some people are amazing.
Get rid of the Probowl and playoff winning QBs and hand the franchise over to 2 guys that nobody wanted, that can't make the game day roster because its a conspiracy. Smh.
I expect McCarron to be a higher first round pick.Fales? I say we draft DEREK CARR
No, just kidding.
I have an awful feeling we're going to go for AJ McCarron or something. I like him but I don't think he has a very high ceiling.
He's a bit more mobile than Schaub though imo
I expect McCarron to be a higher first round pick.
If you watch him at the Shrine game he might have had some problems passing but was all over the place running the ball. Couldn't be stopped. Not what we're looking for but EJ Manuel did it at the Senior Bowl and was praised heavily for it.

God that throwing motion...

Waiting for the Klein over schaub crowd.

This kid is a long ways away from being an NFL QB. If it looks like it is correctable, put him on the PS. Hell, it might take two seasons on the PS to fix that delivery. It is hard to change your throwing motion, it takes time. Thats why it has never stuck with Tebow- He never gets the time to really get it down.
As for Keenum usurping Schaub- will. never. happen. He might stick as the 3rd QB or get put on the PS again (keeping 3 real QBs in the system is always a good idea), but him challenging for the starting role is laughable.
I am awaiting the reaction from the UH squad.

he can create & if Plummer/Kubiak can simplify his release he could be at least a serviceable back-up, giving Texans something they never had a running QB.
Dont forget about Sage!
I find it interesting that Plummer is working with him, I guess this is how teams Work their way around the new rules concerning training and camps, have someone from the outside do it.
Stephen Magee will hopefully turn some heads this coming camp. While he didn't set the NFL on its ear in Dallas, their fans were still happy enough with his play to rue his leaving. Perhaps in a different system he might flourish as well. Would love to see him on a bootleg with the wheels and arm to make yards with.
Either way, should be good competition which only benefits the team.

Gig 'em Aggies. I always thought McGee was a solid QB.
Doubt he'll make it into camp.
Nit pick usually is for most first rounders. So far no reason to say Alabama cannot go undefeated, but I do understand your point. After this draft, QBs should be even more in demand 2014.I'm not so sure. I already have seen people start to nitpick him and it will only get worse if Alabama doesn't go undefeated next season.
Why wouldn't he make it into camp?
I was under impression that Klein'd delivery has to do with his right foot coming up too soon? That seems fixable.This kid is a long ways away from being an NFL QB.

Fred remember that my plan calls for drafting QB 2014 to work under Schaub one season and then start 2015. Klein and Keenum 2 & 3 on roster.Probably won't take long ...
... and there it is.
Just a hunch and I don't think he's a very good fit. Plus, I don't see us going into camp with 5 QBs. Who will he beat out?
Belichick had 4 QBs on the roster the year he drafted Brady, so everything is possible.If Keenum forces his way onto the active roster they'll probably want a PS QB. Even if Keenum doesn't make the roster, it wouldn't hurt to have two QB's on the Practice squad considering Klein is athletic enough to simulate other positions.
I don't think he has to beat out anyone to make it into camp. I think they could go to camp with 5.
This is a guy that Kubiak is bringing in at least partially because of a recommendation by a friend. I don't think he'll cut the guy without giving him a real shot.
We'll see though.
