Wow Joe Montana and Drew Brees, if Wilson DOESN'T make the HOF he will be a disappointment.

Congratulations sir.... and remember, we are laughing at you, not with you.

I could see him drafting Foles.

I've watched my share of UA games. Foles is a big kid with a pretty good arm. He isn't very mobile though. Definitely worth a shot.

The guy I like out of Zona is the WR Juron Criner. He's a big strong kid who had a knack for making some plays. I think he's low-mid round guy that could turn into a starter at some point.

Northern Illinois’ Chandler Harnish

What ??!! A MAC guy ?? Take him Ted !!!

The guy is extremely gritty. Tough as hell. He has marginal arm strength but makes good decisions , has excellent pocket awareness/elusiveness, and can run the ball. Could develop into a solid backup.

Fun player to watch the last few years MAC MVP

The top 3 alone make it exciting. After that, there are a bunch of guys I can see making it.

Laughable. If Luck and RG3 perform you'll be sucking you're own dick. Way to go out on a limb.

"Mark it down, two of the biggest prospects in years with legitimate talent may be productive".

You'e a ****ing genius.

How will Weedon, Tannehill and Ostweiler do?

Hey Capt Wall Splatter, I'm still waiting for you to produce your record predictions for the Packers for the last 5 years.

Go back to the Manny ball forum before I invade it.

I'm guessing he's high on the spirit of the lord!

Foles and Brees went to the same HS.

Take it easy, GD- the compaison is those players out of college. The point in bringing up these great QBs is to illustrate that you don't have to be 6'5", 245, and able to throw a ball through a brick wall.

diggy likes Tannehill only because Sherman is after him.

wilson has a short forehead tho. his eye height is on level with a man who stands 5' 11 9/16"

Was Foles getting preseason hype as a potential first round pick, or has eating the paint chips caught up to me?

I don't really understand this topic. Clearly, it is motivated by a love for the Badgers.

Not that it isn't nice to have a backup for a QB we hope is our starting QB for the next 10 years.

I just focus more on potential starters.

It helps... current NFL QBs in the 6'4" + range:

Peyton
Eli
Brady
Ben
Rivers
Ryan
Flacco
A.Smith
Palmer

QBs in the 6'2" + range:
Rodgers
Romo
Cutler

Brees is the outlier...

Stafford / Matt Flynn & Sanchez are all 6'2"

Cassel is 6'4"

Cam Newton is 6'5"

Vick is 6'0"

Matt Moore is 6'3"

Flutie is about the shortest QB I can remember. A QB at 5'10" is a rarity.

Um, no.

No kidding. Back ups never play.

I could see maybe taking Wilson if he dropped to late in the draft. But, I doubt that happens. I think TT would rather draft a QB with good size, good arm strength and coach him up. You can't coach height.

Maybe we should open a topic for whatever backup guard we should be looking for.

Dammit TT, Do this!

Wilson seems like an intense dude. Even next to Gruden. I wonder if he brought enough colored pens and highlighters with him.

We certainly need a good backup guard. Not seeing a problem here.

Dan McGuire was a hell of a good QB.

Maybe these will help:

I don't think Russell is going to be a star in the league but he could end up being a decent backup QB and there is value in that. He's a smart QB with some talent who makes excellent decisions. If there's value in Taeblow, there's definitely value in Wilson.

Dammit, we only talk about starters here.

This kids charisma, maturity and leadership make Tebow look like Droopy Dog.

Hope he lands in a good situation (that doesnt impact us).

Would love to see the "heighters" proved wrong.

Joe Montana. Mark it down.

Of course, this adds the extra problem of his helmet always covering up his eyes.

Maybe he could get a helmet with eye holes.....kind of like Weird Harold in the Cosby Kids (or was it Mushmouth?)



Wrong twice...it was Dumb Donald.....does it make me a racist if it takes three guesses to get a Cosby character correct?

QB's have 'grown' in heighth and weight over the last 20 years or so, much like most other positions in the NFL.
During the 60's and into the 70's, 6' 200# QB's were the benchmark, so to speak, and a big O-Linemen was maybe 6'1' or 6'2" at 250#. That has evolved to a typical QB in the 6'2"-to-6'4" range, and weight is 220-225. Ditto for linemen to be 300-325# and, again, in the 6'2"-to-6'5" range.

Look at Vick, as an example. I had no idea he was 6' tall, but he's small compared to most of his peers. There's not too many teams I can think of that are playing with a relatively short QB.

And who was the guy that used to be on here that always loved the little guys?

Pedophile Pete?

He means Johnny Z

Or the new version of the Cosby Kids.

(It all ties together)

Here is Michael Rodney's latest post at Packer Update

Talks about the back up QB position and mentions Wilson as a viable candidate

http://packerupdate.net/?p=16641

Anybody see him on Gruden's QB School thing on ESPN yesterday? I saw a few minutes of it. He must has said "yes sir" to Gruden 20 times in that 5 minutes! Very polite young man. Politeness adds 2 inches of height my mom always said.

RGIII did that as well. I wanted to smack them for it. Especially Russ, who does not talk like that in "real life".
