My money is on Jay Cutler... I think Cutler is a long term solid producer... sort of in the neighborhood of a Drew Bledsoe or a Matt Hassleback

followed by Vince Young... I see Vince Young in a Steve Mcnair type light...

followed by Kellen Clemens... I see this guy being an on again off again solid player... a Gus Ferotte type

There were no Mannings, Favres Bradys Montanas etc in this draft...
 
over the next 3 years? for a running back, that may be ok, but quarterbacks usually take that long to develop


no one knew there were any bradys in the draft brady was taken, otherwise he wouldn't have been 6th round
 
Leinart-
I think the "no arm strength" is BS. He's been a fantastic quarterback in an NFL style offense at USC, how about that final ND play or nearly carrying a team to a threepeat (and by the way he was great up until the end of rose bowl). And now he finds himself in an even better position at Arizona under the teaching of Kurt Warner and an explosive array of offensive weapons available to him. I predict Leinart to be a superb NFL quarterback in 2 or 3 years.
 
Lets see....if in 3 years, I would say whoever had the most playing time. Stuck behind Plummer that eliminates Cutler. Leinert has a chance since Warner hasn't lasted through a whole season. Vince Young is just not NFL ready right now. So I guess my pick will be Leinert.
 
I think the most important thing for a new NFL QB is to be put in a position to succeed (see Roethisberger). Based on that I think Leinart will do the best over the next three years.
 
Tough call.. I really think Cutlet was and is overhyped. Vince will have more success than Vick because he can actually pass the ball, but I think Leinart will probably end up being the best. He reminds me a lot of Brady, good and bad.
 
Leinart, Leinart, Leinart. Not only is he the most talented & most experienced, he has by FAR the best supporting offense. Leinart, edge, boldin, and fitzgerald is just nasty.

Vince Young is so overrated. He's a slower Michael Vick. Sure, he's taller, but big deal. He'll never be a great passing QB.
 
Leinart, he has a good thing going, good WR , nice to sit behind Warner and learn, and his decision making skills are very good.

Although I do agree for the most part, who is to say Shannahan won't play Cutler? Maybe he will look so impressive during pre-season, that he'll actually start some of the games. It just depends, teams that switch QB's don't always do that well - but thats usually because both QB's aren't very good. It would give Denver a couple different looks depending on what they want.

Now I know none of that is likely, but possible. Plummer could also be hurt - then its Cutler, which is prehaps more likely. (Although as a Bronco fan I don't necessarily want that to happen, I just want to see the guy play)

All that being said - I will pick Leinert and then Cutler (depending on circumstances)
 
Leinart is in the perfect situation. He gets to learn behind an accomplished veteran. He's on a team that's on the upswing and packed with talent at the skill positions and his coach is great with QBs. Add that to his experience in a pro-style offense and he looks golden.

I think Jay Cutler will do fairly well but he won't be starting for a few years. He, like Leinart, is also in a great system and has the opportunity to learn from a good veteran.

I'm not a big Vince Young guy. I see him as a Michael Vick kind of player. He'll be a lot of fun to watch but it might not translate into great numbers or wins and he'll probably be banged up a lot. He'll get to watch Volek for a year but that's not the same thing as sitting behind Plummer or Warner for a year or two. Of the three he will probably be the one pressed into service first.

My vote goes to Leinart. I think he's the real deal and is in the best situation for him to succeed. But you never know. Six or seven years from now you might see a 2nd day guy bloom into the uber QB ala Hasselbeck and Brady (Brady came up faster than that though).
 
Jay Cutler is the only smart one... In fact he's probably smarter than 90% of ATOTers. He graduated a semester early from a top 20 school with a real degree.

Vince Young is a borderline retarded drop out and a disgrace to my university.
 
Leinert will be a good solid QB, but I'm not sure how good. Maybe a few probowls and a shot at a championship. He has a solid arm, has the most experience in a pro system, and is a winner which cannot be underestimated. Most people that Brady has a weak arm and was not accurate when he came out of college, but he has turned into a great QB.

Cutler has the best measurables, but will need time in a good pro system. He could be a John Elway type, or a Ryan Leaf. I think he has the biggest upside.

Young is a great athlete, and unlike Vick, has the size to be a LB. He reminds me of Duante Culpepper, and I think he'll be a solid QB. Unfortunately, McNair may retire and that may shove him into action before he is ready. His arm is strong enough and he is accurate, but he wasn't taught how to read pro defenses and make multiple checkdowns on a play. He has immense talent, but will need the most time to develop. But I don't see the talent at Tennessee to go around him.
 
over the next 3 years, lienart... everyone says he's the most "NFL ready" qb.. i agree.. usc has a difficult system to learn, and lienart is a smart guy... the "no arm strength" was definately a rumor sent out by various teams trying to get him in later spots...

young is going to take a while to get adjusted to the league... he's used to the shotgun offense which is usually detrimental to rookie qb's.. i mean think about it.. the shotgun gives them more time in college which is much much slower than the nfl.. he's going to find out how fast those D-line guys are very soon... look at how alex smith did.. granted the 49er o-line stank, but he just wasn't used to the speed.. and he was in a system similar to young's.... i think he'll be decent.. michael vick like (who is defiantely over rated)... definately more than 3 years...

i've only seen these two.. i haven't seen any games with cuttler or clemens... all i've seen are those highlights that always make them seem awesome so those can't be trusted..

you are a disgrace to my university

anyone who calls someone a 'borderline retarded drop out' needs to learn some manners
 
Cutler will be horrid. He won 11 games in college. Don't give me the 'oooh but his team was crappy' if he's so good why didn't he raise the level of the team? Best case scenario he's the next jake plummer. Young will be a poor man's vick. Leinert will be good, but leave the NFL in less than a decade, there's been a worry among NFL teams that he was going to go to a screen career after just a few years in the NFL....his agents are steering him that way too...especially after he dropped in the draft

Are you insane? Jay Cutler won't play a down in his first couple of years, Jake Plummer is in Denver, going to Pro Bowls and winning. Your question is over the next three years...it's gotta be Matt Leinart. He's playing with two pro bowl recievers and a pro bowl running back, with a revamped offensive line. That offense is going to be ridiculous next year.

As I said in my prior post, youd don't know that. Lots of things can happen where Cutler gets to play. He could also be traded right away and play for anther team (just another scenerio I didn't already list)
