NFL: Jags Set Sights On Brady Quinn

Josina Anderson of FOX 31 Denver reports that the Jaguars have interest in Brady Quinn and an unnamed pass rusher on the Broncos’ roster.

Mancini’s Take: As the football world is still scratching its head and trying to make sense of the first-round pick wasted on Tim Tebow, Denver needs to eliminate the existing logjam at the quarterback position. Tebow is the prized rookie, who’ll eventually be handed the starting job (you would think), while Kyle Orton is the mediocre placeholder with Tom Brandstater serving as the trusty third-stringer. So, where does that leave Quinn? The Myoplex poster boy was once a highly regarded first-round pick himself and he seriously wants one more chance to be some team’s face of the franchise. But it’s probably not happening in the MileHigh City. Moving him to Jacksonville makes a lot of sense. The Cats are losing patience with the physically gifted, but pedestrian

Our Number One Prospect In College Football…

The countdown begins and our top prospect in college football is…

Quarterback Andrew Luck, Stanford (Red-Shirt Sophomore):

Pros: What stands out immediately about Luck is that he has one of the quickest throwing motions since Dan Marino. When Luck lets it fly his passes are laser fast and accurate—truly beautiful. Aside from that, Luck has quintessential NFL measurables; he is 6’4” and 230-plus pounds, very intelligent and instinctual.  The red-shirt sophomore has wonderful footwork in his drop backs and when throwing the football. Luck has light and graceful feet that give him unexpected mobility, allowing him to almost glide through the pocket to avoid would-be sackers (he was sacked only six times in 2009). At Stanford, he is currently playing in a pro-style offense and getting pro-style coaching under
