winner of flawed logic of today.......something like the micheal bishop comparison
how so? You're arguing that because Matt Cassel was a 7th round pick, and O'Connel was a 3rd, he'll be better. By that logic, O'Connel should be much better than Brady, a 6th round comp pick.
Seriously, there are two 2nd and 3rd round quarterbacks from the last 15 years who are capable of being starters: Drew Brees (2nd) and Jake Plummer (2nd). Thirty or so have been drafted. Most of them serve as QB2 or QB3 for 3 years, and then are out of football. I would love O'Connel to be the next Brady, but chances are, he'll never amount to anything, like the vast majority of other QBs drafted in the 2nd and 3rd.
