walzav29 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I like Dalton the best, and they can keep him the latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 No Kaepernick ?? No Ponder ??Well, to be fair, even when adding those two names to the poll, my answer would still be:"NONE" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yeah, screw all of 'em. If I have to pick, gimme Mallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalPappaw Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 No Kaepernick ?? No Ponder ??Well, to be fair, even when adding those two names to the poll, my answer would still be:"NONE"I agree. The problem in my mind is that NONE of these are worth a first round pick. Ponder could be available in second round and that makes more sense.I think we have had more success with later round QBs. Boomer and Kenny Anderson are the two who come to mind immediately.First round reaches are notorious --- Akili Smith and David Klinger. Other first rounders just didn't quite make it -- Greg Cook (injury) and Carson Palmer (IMO no heart or drive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsbengalsbucks Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'll take Kaerpernick or Dalton in Round 3 or later. The others are to risky in one or more ways, to take in the first two rounds. Unless Newton or Gabbert fall to them in the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Ponder or Kaepernick...I can see gabbert falling,.. Really can,.. And i'd definately take him in the 2nd,.. See i love picking early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'll tell you what. Here are the criteria I'm looking for in the next Bengals QB:1) Good decision maker/Intelligent2) Accurate passer3) Durable4) Calm in the face of pressureThere aren't many QBs that meet those qualifications in this draft... but one who does will likely be available in the 4th or 5th. Greg McElroy.I know he's not a great athlete, but if the Bengals are looking for a guy from a pro-style offense to manage the game in a run-heavy WC offense... he might be a hell of a bargain.

DC_Bengals_Fan Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm hoping for an old washed-up vet just to eliminate any sense of false hope that would inevitably let me down. I'm voting for Jake Delhomme. Failing that, are the Titans done with Kerry Collins yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I still think if they want to win in anyway, they need to get a vet QB. I dont see any of these rookie QB ready to play yet this year. If they choose someone, they can learn under a vet. If so i would choose Ponder or Kaepernick somebody in the later rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'm with Derek in the fact if we are waiting until the 4th or later, might as well get the smartest QB, who comes from the pro style offense and is as accurate as can be. Oh yeah he also is use to be a winner and expects it everytime he steps on the field.McElroy...He may not have the biggest arm, but in a run heavy (if we are believing) WCO, he is most certainly a bargain late.Couldn't agree more.

Guy was supposed to be in the Top 10 but he had a down year. He is a very good, mobile QB with a strong arm, that came form a Pro style offense, that can work the WCO qucikly.

He can talk the talk, he is very good with the media so i think he is mature enough. Only thing is i dont know if he will be there in the 2nd round though, and i dont think he worth the #4 pick. Would they trade back into the first round for him, i doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Locker will be gone in the 1st and I'm happy.His decline his senior season was his doing, not the loss of weapons or any other excuse willing to be offered.My take ?? He simply isn't as good as his junior season showed, makes poor decisions, and is inaccurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Sport Illustrated’s John Lopez wrote an article a little while back where he believed he had developed an accurate formula for determining what QBs will be successful in the NFL.The formula involves only three criteria and he called it the 26-27-60 rule. 26 or better on the Wonderlic, 27 or more games played in college, and a completion percentage of 60% or better.Put as much or as little stock in that as you want... but only 3 QBs in this draft meet that criteria. Ponder, Dalton, and McElroy. I won't be the least bit surprised if McElroy ends up being the best of the three. What he lacks in physicality, he makes up for with through the roof intangibles. He has Tim Tebow like leadership skills, he scored a rumored 48 out of 50 on the Wonderlic, and came from a pro style offense, where he was a terrific game manager, and almost never made mistakes.The more I think about it, the more sold on the idea I become. Sign me up for McElroy at the top of the 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Looking again at Greg McElroy you will find the following:#4 with a passer rating of 169.0#4 with a completion percentage of 70.9Threw for 2,987 yards and 20 TDs.He threw 313 times while only throwing 5 picks.It is noted he doesn't have the big arm and can improve his footwork, but is a perfect fit in a run heavy west coast offense.He's stupid smart, a noted leader of strong character, and has played with and through injuries.I can't say as I would mind that in the 5th.

membengal Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Derek, those are really, REALLY interesting thoughts, and I will be subsribing to your newsletter.For the first time in these discussions, I am persuaded that their may indeed be a qb I would be glad to see them grab. In the third or fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
