This entire post is vaguely reminiscent of a kid trying to convince his parents that he's mature enough to drive. It has some valid points but lacks the maturity most would look for. I don't think you realize that most people here do not have a "man crush" on fitz. People recognize what he represents to his team. Ie: Heart, drive, emotion and will. Is he of the caliber of some of the quarterbacks you've mentioned? (Argueably every other QB currently active) I'd say yes, to most. Mcnabb especially pales in comparison, currently. Fitz may not be up to the standards of some peoples "Picture perfect franchise Qb," but 90% of the time, I'm thoroughly enjoying having him as our QB. Will we draft a QB if possible? Probably. Do I believe Fitz is good enough to make drafting a QB a lesser priority then other positions? Absolutely.

I like it. I'll take it.

Know what the biggest problem is with hindsight? You can't do anything about it. I agree with you that Fitz is doing great, but I wouldn't be opposed to grabbing a QB like Luck for the future. The guy would most likely be sidelined watching/learning next season anyways. The problem is, as you said, some rookie qbs draft high and bust early. But you have absolutely no way of knowing whether that would be the case. In the case of Russell, I doubt anyone seen the bust that would be. Look at the Mannings and the things they have done? Do you have any idea whether Luck will be a Russell or a Manning? I sure don't but the gamble would be worth the effort considering what an elite QB will do for a team. That having been said, I love Fitz. I love the way he plays, the way he talks and the guts he shows every week. Though during the draft, come our turn, he'll be at home saying to his family...."Should we stand up for this one?"

Based on what happened next concerning the players mentioned: Edwards on waivers Lynch traded to Seattle I could almost say they were being showcased. Only problem was Edwards did so bad no one would have traded for him.

Agreed. On a side note, Big Ben did get knocked around by seymour today. I got a bit of a laugh out of it. Vid on youtube if you didn't see it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYVtma_Lvnw
