Greg Gabriel ‏@greggabeWith just about every forced QB pick in the last 6 years, someone has gotten fired. Sanchez, Tebow, Ponder, Gabbert, Locker, Weedon...
When you force a QB pick you are risking your career
This year I'm saying none of the QB's is worthy of a top 10 pick. It's a mistake if they go that high
Also wrote in the NFP that Ponder and Locker were not 1st round QB's
At this time 2 years ago I was getting killed by people cause I said Gabbert was awful. I think I was right.
In McShay's new mock he has 3 QB's going in the top 4 picks. Not going to happen! There isn't a franchise QB in this class. Good not great!
I was wrong on McNabb. I didn't see having anywhere near the career he was going to have. I think he was as successful as he was, because he was drafted by Andy Reid (& he was lucky to have Jim Johnson).
But if they go to the right "system" I can see Bridgewater & Bortles (& McCarron, & Murray) having McNabb type success.... or Rivers.
& with the rules & the way coaches are letting these guys play Garopolo, Manziel, even Boyd can have short term success.
That's why I don't want to take one with the 1st overall pick. Not because I don't think they can be "franchise" QBs, but because I don't think they're the type that will be successful where ever they go, like Peyton, or Rivers, or Palmer.
I don't think these guys (even Manziel) will bust like Gabbert, Ponder, or Tebow.
