So you just spent a first round draft pick on a guy that you might get 7 or 8 years, tops, out of, and on a guy who isn't even a sure thing.
you guys are drafting a good qb. he'll learn enough of the offense to get by his first year and he's an upgrade over mccoy, in a lot of areas. he's a ton more mature than some of the more notable "busts" that have happened in recent years, so i dont think he'll fall into the bust category.

he wont be terrible.....like tavaris jackson and charlie whitehurst were last year for the 'hawks......age aside, i'd rather have weeden as my starting qb than tannehill. the only downside here, is that you'll have to take another qb in the draft in 6 or 7 years (which isnt that bad).
