He played with the Packers for awhile and was evidently terrible. His most recent foray into the league saw him unable to get into the top 3 QBs of the Jaguars.

It's what happens when you have a crappy o-line as a rookie. It toys with your mind the rest of your career. David Carr and Joey Harrington are all examples of this.

Those guys weren't going to be any good regardless.

It only toys with the minds of QBs that don't know where to go with the ball in the first place.

We don't know that. I could almost definitely say that Harrington was going to be a bust regardlesss. He was all hype.

Carr had all the physical tools to be a good QB in the league. He got sacked 70 times in 2002, and never lived up to be the franchise QB we thought he'd be.

He would have been a somewhat average QB, had he had a good o-line. He was all hype though. A product of a billboard, and a near-national championship/Fiesta Bowl win in 2001.

He was just another Jeff Tedford QB that looked great in college but couldn't hack it in the pros. Aaron Rodgers is the first one that shows any promise of being able to cut it.

Harrington was a bad example of my previous point. Maybe a David Klingler would be a better example.

He had pretty decent O lines in Miami and Atlanta and he just plain sucked.

Maybe you recall Aikman's early days in Dallas?

Another system QB in college.

He put up some amazing numbers in college though, with that Houston run n' shoot. As did Andre Ware. Looking back into history, Ware was going to be a bad QB anyways. Klingler, I have no idea.

How good was it in 2007? Could partially be a byproduct of Petrino's system that they had a bad o-line.

The Falcons o-line was much maligned for letting Michael Vick and Joey Harrington get sacked all the time . . . then basically the same personnel gave up about 20 sacks last year. Coincidence?

That Falcons OL was always able to pave the way for Warrick Dunn and TJ Duckett to have one of the best rushing offenses in the league year after year. However, Vick was still usually the most sacked QB in the league.

That's what happens when spineless execs concern themselves with what Joe Six Pack thinks. If you're allowing what some talk radio caller working the counter at 7-11 thinks about your pick to have any influence, you should be terminated immediately.
