Thread: Why does everyone want Omar Jacobs?

Brady is that 1 in 100 exception to the rule. Do you really want to stake your franchise on a 6th round pick? I don't think so.

And Marc Bulger. (6th Round 2000).

And Kurt Warner. (UFA 1998).

And John Kitna. (UFA 1997).

And Trent Green. (8th Round 1993).

And Matt Hasselbeck. (6th Round 1998).

And Mark Brunell. (5th Round 1993).

If we're being exact, only Marc Bulger and Matt Hasselbeck apply in this analogy. So that's 2 in 100. :wink:

I would rather see Brad do it before a rookie or a half assed backup.

I second that thought....

Brad's a decent QB....good to have while our young'ins develop...great QB to learn from.....

Top 10 QBs this year:
Tom Brady (6th Round)
Trent Green (8th Round)
Brett Favre (2nd Round)
Carson Palmer (#1 overall)
Eli Manning (#1 Overall)
Kerry Collins (1st round, 5th overall)
Peyton Manning (#1 Overall)
Drew Bledsoe (#1 Overall)
Drew Brees (2nd round)
Matt Hasselbeck (6th round)

There you have it....5 in the first round, 2 in the second and the last three are the '1 in 100' that I'm talking about.

I'm just saying that there's a reason these guys are so highly touted coming out of college. There's a reason Cutler and Leinart are projected to be 1st round picks rather than 6th or 7th, it's because they are better and have more upside.

So would I, which is why we should address QB asap, so we don't HAVE to start a rookie or half assed backup, because unless you forgot Brad is damn old and probably doesn't have 2 seasons left in him.

People want Omar Jacobs because he is a stud on NCAA 2006 & imported draft classes (usually a top 10 or 5 pick). Sad, but true.

Maybe we should bring up the hundreds of late rounds QBs in the past several years who did not end up being stars?

I could see brad doing it for a couple years easy in this offense. And even more so if we get hutch and address the right guard spot also. brad gets rid of the ball fast on his own let alone in this new offense he will be running.

does anyone have highlight videos of omar jacobs?

From the NFL Fans assesment:

Jacobs accuracy is superb. Quite possibly an ideal fit for the west coast offense.

That's why I like him but nothing is a sure thing.

i seen him play that wisconsin game, the kid got talent
