Golden Nuggets: It's game day!

by David Fucillo on Nov 29, 2009 3:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

Ninjames is out of commission for the Nuggets today, so I'm handling the duties. I mixed in a few different links from normal, so let me know if they work for you. I've included some stuff from the Jaguars SB Nation log, as well as some local Jacksonville items. I figure it's a good way to figure out what's going on with the opposition.

I'll be traveling most of the day today but I've scheduled several game threads. The specific times will be in the first 49ers-Jaguars thread opening up at noon. Also, the Steelers are apparently sitting Roethlisberger today, so if you want to change your Ravens-Steelers prediction, head over here to do it. Please make sure and reply directly to your previous predictions so we can keep things close together.

I found Sando's piece on the college QBs interesting

I don’t follow college football at all – we don’t get a lot of it on the mainstream channels and there’s zero press/radio coverage. But I try to keep an eye on top draft prospects, and I’d heard a lot about Bradford, McCoy, obviously Tebow, but I hadn’t heard Jake Locker’s name or Bill Stull’s name until I read that article.

I recall someone, somewhere (think it was someone to do with the Cowboys) saying that you always take a QB in every draft, whatever your needs and whoever you have on your roster. Just keep looking at new players in that position and keep trying to improve things. I wonder if the Nate Davis pick, when we already had Hill, Smith and Huard at that time, suggests Singletary and Scott Mac concur with that philosophy. However, it doesn’t feel like they would take a big first-round choice at that position, like a Locker or a McCoy, regardless of how Smith does between now and the end of the season.

Ive heard that too

Even if its just a 6th or 7th round pick, take a qb somewhere for depth, injury insurance, and in rare cases what could be a hidden gem. Maybe Bill Parcells is the one who said that, not sure

I think it was Ron Wolfe

Who stockpiled Favre, Brunell and one more I’m forgetting.

The top two are likely Clausen and Locker.

Bradford will not be good, and McCoy is Alex Smith v 2.0, and Tim Tebow is the only quarterback in the history of the game of football to have a slower throwing motion than Byron Leftwich, and without all of Leftwich’s decent mechanics.

You can never resist the game... nor could I... we're the same, so don't even try.

We just used the national preview for the morning game thread. Forgot to make the Panthers Watch. We’ll have that for the recap tonight when I get home.
