    and I don't mean 5th round or later
    early ... 1st day

    first name that comes to mind is Tim Tebow
    (in 'o7 threw 32 TD's and rushed for 23 more)
    that's 55 friggin' scores from under center


    EDIT: do not take this as giving up on Vince - I haven't

    Tebow said last year at the Heisman ceremony that he's staying at Florida 4 years. So I don't think he'll come out.

    Whether we draft a QB in 09 depends on how VY and Simms perform. VY could still be there, but Simms offers a lot of upside. If we had signed a guy like Harrington or Johnson to back up Collins then its a different story. I would think that Simms is more of a long term signing. If VY stays as the starter, Collins is starting to age and Simms would be a nice, young backup, possibly compete for starting job.....a la Volek.

    I think a 1st dat QB is more likely in '10 than in '09 draft.

    There's no way in hell we draft Tebow. If we take a QB (and that's a huge if), we are taking a pocket passer, not another project.

    Chris Simms is not the answer

    and just so the thread stays on track, I'm asking if we draft a QB, not Tim Tebow exclusively

    I bet we will take one in the 3rd-5th round. So no, not on the first day. I still think we should have taken Dennis Dixon last year. We could have had him in the 5th round or in the 4th round. Oh well, what's done is done.

    I agree, but I don't see the Titan's taking a QB in the first round UNLESS he's a sure thing. If VY flops, Simms is not too bad. They way our offense plays, we can get by with adequate until that sure thing drops in our lap.

    Since The Titans don't seem to ever draft later round developmental QBs you'd think we're talking 1st or 2nd round if they did draft one..
