Agreed, and that's the bottom line. I don't follow CFB enough to pretend that my QB evaluation has any value, but if the Steelers draft a QB in the first it is not because they are just looking to draft a QB, it will be because they believe that the guy the draft is their next franchise QB.

No doubt. If Colbert pulls the trigger on any QB in the first round, it's because he believes he's our future franchise QB

way late, but, ditto. Pennington and Leftwich had just entered the league and at the time were doing well... Not really sure anyone actually SAID that.

The Ben pick in '04 was a board favorite. I remember it because I had watched his last two games - gonna say his conference championship game and bowl game. I remember because both were played on a Thursday night and used to go to a local bar with a bunch of friends every Thursday. Saw the games on sattelite dish (how times have changed) there and kept getting drawn to this big mobile QB who could throw on a line while on the move. He was incredible in those two games and I thought I'd discovered this kid. By the time the draft came around, it seemed that everybody already knew who he was and the biggest question was would he fall to #11, not would you want him if he did.
