Suppose the greatest college QB is sitting there staring you in the face, better than the really good one you already have.. Do you pull the string now or wait to fix your o-line and hope the next few college seasons produce another? We're kind of there now although it's still questionable if any of the college players are in fact better than Andy now or in the future.. I agree that Andy isn't the biggest problem by any stretch, but boy howdy, how do you pass on a possible all time great?
We've seen Andy pull off magic more than a few times, but we've also seen him melt down more than a few times as well. It's damned if you do and damned if you don't, half dozen on one and six of the other..
I'm kind of of the opinion that if we're going to throw the dice to gamble with a first round pick he'd better be able to give up the goods BIG time and work the guy out under the worst conditions possible. You really want to know if the guy can play in shit conditions, rain, freezing weather, high winds, etc.. Those aren't exactly conditions you can replicate on scouting trips either..
