*** Disclaimer: I don't know much about college football, and I know considerably less about individual NCAA players.

I may be having a knee-jerk reaction to the end of the season, but my thought is that we need to draft a new QB this year.  I think that we need to stick with our pick at #15 and take the best guy on the board.  Here are ESPN's first round QB ratings, and their overall ranking.

1. Andrew Luck*    QB    Stanford    98
20. Blaine Gabbert* QB    Missouri    93
23. Jake Locker    QB    Washington    92
29. Cam Newton*    QB    Auburn    90
31. Ryan Mallett*    QB    Arkansas    90

I don't know what their particular skill sets are and which ones would fit on our team.  But I think that we can't kick the can down the road any longer.

avoid Cam Newton. Not sure if he is an NFL QB. And we can't have Pat White 2.0

Locker has all the physical tools but seems to be missing the "it" factor.

Luck will be long gone by the time we pick.

Mallett I like.

Mallett's going to be a 49er...so keep your mitts off. Wink

Cam Newton isn't Pat White though... Maybe he's a Vince Young, but not sure I want that either.

Mallett and Gabbert...I'll take either.

Honestly ... I'm all for trading up and spending a couple of years catching up. I mean, we've got how many years vested into bad qb decisions? I for one feel its time to get at least that postion corrected and am not worried about winning in the short term.

Newton won the Heisman, and it's been how many years since a Heisman winning quarterback was anything but a bust (including Vince Young).

If we draft any of the other college quarterbacks still on the board they'll be 3rd rounders.

Hoodie provided the names of all free agent quarterbacks.  Peyton is going to re-sign with Indy.  Vick is probably a lock to re-sign with Philadelphia and I don't want him in Miami.  He had one good season, now he'll suck for the next 5, just like before.

The only name on that list that doesn't make me want to vomit is Billy Volek.  And he's unproven as a starter.

Luke McCown was having a good year before going on IR.  He is way different than his brother Josh and I wouldn't mind letting him compete while we draft Locker in the first or Stanzi in the third.

Gabbert has NFL tools but I don't think he is a guy you can draft and start right away.  He needs some development first.

No to Mallett not going to be what everyone thinks. Too many batted passes at the line , bad int's and  no feet. Defenses will eat up a stationary immobile Qb.

I'll take him in SF, though I'd prefer a trade-down from #7 to the teens if possible.

Oh great.  All the knee jerk reaction people will be screaming for the Dolphins to sign him.
