Walter will have a rebuilt OL and a nice set of WRs to throw to, when he's ready.

I voted for Rivers. He has a great supporting cast, he has other-worldy intangibles.

The best two are easily Cutler and Rivers. Between them its tough but I said Rivers since he had less votes.

Well since I'm a Raiders fan I'll say Walter but if I had to pick out of the other 3 I'll say Cutler

Wow, I'm surprised at all the Jay Cutler support. I've said for months now that he is Boller round 2. I went with a player that I believe will not only have a great year this season but, also eventually be an annual pro-bowler, Philip Rivers.

It's between Walter and Rivers for me. Personal reasons lean me to Walter, but in the end I have to give the edge to Rivers

Most people will say Cutler because we love the draft. But, I think SD will build around Rivers for now and turn him into a solid QB. That being said, I like Walter a lot...

I was one of the first, if not the first to compare him to Kyle Boller in my the Real Jay Cutler thread back in the day. I've done my homework on the subject and I'm sticking to the comparison. I respect others opinions on him but, I believe he will be a highly inconsistant and non-successful QB in the league.

I went with Cutler because I didn't pay attention too heavy back when Rivers was in college so all i can go off on is what i've seen from him the last few years. Cutler is in a good situation because he can sit behind Jake, and he's in a perfect offense for him.
I wasn't a Croyle fan when he came out of college last year, and i'm still not a huge fan. I don't know if he can lead a team, and stay healthy long enough to be a leader.

Well i think Croyle will get much better under a great line. In Alabama he was sacked so much. Against Auburn he got sacked over and over.

I watched alot of Alabama last year, and I just don't see him leading a team to victory.

Was this after he lost Prothro? Before that Alabama was a NC calibur team.

The first game I saw of them was when he got injured. He would've made that team alot better, but that just proves my point even more that he can't lead a team. He had good WR's other than prothro. He had a good one is D.J. Brown I think it was.

I voted for Brodie Croyle basically becuz im a chiefs fan and I want to see it happen. Croyle has mediocre leadership as a quarterback and sitting behind Trent Green will help him out with that. But.... With Green's career winding down Croyle wont have as much time to develop his skills as someone like persay Jay Cutler would.
So basically what im saying is
Croyle-will be on field quicker but might take some time to develop NFL skills
Cutler-Will see playing time later which might help him harness more NFL skills.

Ah yeah. What does he get hit.. Once a game? With that line it's like standing behind a wall.
And Rivers has 30 attempts. He's ahead of everyone listed in this thread, but I don't think he was worth that pick. He was good late in the season, but his throwing motion is awkward.

Cutler won't see the field either unless JP was to go down but if he misses the start of camp it could hurt him you have to be there if your a QB.

where in the hell did you get that? KC Homer news? what garbage. all denver reports are that he's looked great.

also, rivers.
but that's not to say that anyone who compares boller and cutler has the faintest clue what they're talking about. i don't actually remember cutler having his reads dumbed down in any way. nor do i remember him throwing from one knee to "prove" his arm strength.
whether you like him or not, that's a piss poor comparison.

I like Croyle. He's got good physical tools, but as mentioned, he struggled mightily without prothro. However, it wasn't really all his fault, that whole offense sucked. Cutler is also great physically. Can he pull it all together at the NFL level? He's on a team that went to the AFCC the previous season. Something that he didn't have at Vanderbilt: Talent. I think Cutler can be good, but realistically, I expect growing pains with him.

I'd say Rivers. I don't have any doubts about him. He dominated college, spent two years watching and learning, had an excellent offseason and isn't much different of a QB than Brees. Both are good team leaders with good accuracy, but lack arm strength. I expect a lot of dump offs to LT and more passes intended for Gates. I expect 2800-3200 yards, >20 TDs, but no more than 14 INTs with a 58-61 completion percentage.
