    Sarcasm, right? He isn't expected to go until maybe the third round.

    No, he will probably be released though. Do we really want the only other Qb that lead his O to 3 points with the teams playoff lives on the line? McNabb is finished just as Favre is. It's time to draft our franchise Qb.

    Clemens is NOT the answer or he would have started this year.

    I say give the other Brett a chance, but not this season.

    I have read in various articles that Tebow is not an NFL QB.

    Ryan has good footwork and excellent accuracy. He knows when to throw the ball out of bounds. He doesn't throw many interceptions. He exhibits a top level football IQ.

    But, fuck all that. Let's go the nonsense route and say he's nothing except for some intangibles. Falcons are 10-5 in spite of the clown wearing #2.

    Bradford is a Sophomore(RS). He's old enough to declare for the draft, though I doubt he does.

    Tebow will be a 3rd round pick, if he can catch.

    Saying "trade up into the top 10 and get a franchise signal caller" implies that you think it's just that easy.

    If you've paid attention to any draft ever, you should know that's not the case.

    In addition to that, a guy who could be a franchise QB may never become one with coaches like we have, or just bad coaching regardless of the team....so there's a lot more that determines a QB's success then just draft position....

    I'd sign McNabb AND draft a franchise QB. This team can win now and there's no point in wasting the current talent... Let the kid step in when he's ready and we don't miss a beat.

    Hello? There is a cap, that is unrealistic.

    I'm not sure i'm sold on Ratliff yet....i need to see more than him shredding 3rd stringers in the preseason before i would hand him the keys to the cadillac. :)
