Golden Nuggets: No Stafford, please.
Morning everyone, James here, if only for a brief moment. My new internet goes up tomorrow, and this current internet goes down (likely) in the next... oh, ten minutes or so. So, for one last time (hopefully) I'll be relying on Fooch to update the links in the comments for me. So of course, make sure you check out the comments and I'll give you the few links I can scrounge together before I run out of time and lose connection for a few hours. That being said, not that he's going to fall to us or anything, I'd just like to state that if we draft QB Matt Stafford I just might stop watching football for a year or so. Really, this guy does not impress me at all, I'm not seeing anything that's showing me he's going to be a good quarterback in the NFL. Here's some links.

No Worries
Rumors are flying that Stafford and the Lions have agreed to terms that will guarantee him $40+.
$40M in guarantees? I don't...
… think that’s possible.
+10M (Detroit Surcharge).
Who wants to live in Detroit…

NFL network
I think I’ll be getting the NFL network next weekend especially since the niners granted access to their war room.
Joe and Steve were under the same system for years... don't expect Smith to be super so soon.

Florio posts at The Sporting News and had a thing looking at draft history reality versus perception. One thing I disagree with is his discussion of the 1983 QB class (#4). He says that 3 Hall of Fame QBs and 3 that became forgettable. He says that makes it the same old pass-fail exercise. Really? I don’t see 3 Hall of Famers as “passing.” I see that as slightly better. Who knows whether it’s the best class ever, but to refer to them as just “passing” is a bit of a disservice.
Florio also looks back at the 2006 first round draft class. (SportingNews.com)
In case this hasn't been posted yet
ESPN.com is reporting the 49ers might be the mystery team trying to aquire Brady Quinn. I must say, I would LOVE this move.

I call BS
I checked out the story and it’s complete speculation.
According to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle, former No. 1 overall pick Alex Smith looked pretty bad during the San Francisco 49ers’ most recent minicamp. Smith’s passes were loose, and it appeared that he was still suffering some after-effects of his shoulder surgery . . .
. . .
[With Sanchez and Stafford likely gone and Freeman a stretch at 10]
Therefore, the 49ers could very likely be the mystery team that has been linked to a trade with the Cleveland Browns for Brady Quinn. The National Football Post has been informed by multiple sources that there is a team who has put a first round pick on the table in exchange for Quinn, and the Niners would make a world of sense in that role. The team has searched fruitlessly for a stud quarterback since the Jeff Garcia days earlier this decade, and by all indications Quinn is a superstar waiting for the right situation.
I’m gonna post this on the front page to hold off the FanPosts.

If I recall...
… Maiocco and/or Barrows both said Smith looked fairly decent. Is my memory wrong?
that's what I thought
I’ll try and find a link when I get a chance, unless you (or anybody else) can find one first
