Matthew Stafford, Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck, Sam Bradford. RGIII, Watson, Mahomes, Trubisky, Allen, Winston.... the list goes on.
They all may turn out special.
I am still an Andrew Thomas guy... nothing has changed on that front. The only thing that has changed is that instead of taking Bredeson in the 2nd round, I would take Eason and that is because we HAVE to take a QB this year.
Ideally, Dalton would have been the starter next year with a revamped OLine. Finley is giving another year to immerse himself in the game. Then after next season, we roll with Finley. If Finley doesn't produce behind a strong OLine and 2 years, then you draft his replacement.
That scenario would give us the best chance at success next season while preparing for the future without Dalton.
See I wasnt a person who thought much of Jonny Football. He had bust written all over him. He was a product of the system. I liked Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck and knew they would be good pros. Was never sold on Bradford, and definitely missed on Mahomes as I figured hed be a backup. Wasnt high on Trubiusky Allen or Winston either. Not the way I am Burrow. I see Burrow as a guy in Matt Ryan and Andrew Lucks caliber except even more mobile. Both of them are better QBs than Andy. Gunslingers. If ZTs play-action based offensive system is going to work, we need a guy that has the tools Burrow has. Whether or not it will translate here remains to be seen, but you gotta try. You cant pass a guy like Burrow up because of Johnny Football and all the other QB busts over the years.
