What do you dislike the most about the Osweiler pick?

My biggest issue is with the player himself. I agree that Osweiler has some great tools, mostly his athletisicm and arm strength. However I also feel that Osweiler is a poor decision maker (let it be known that I have watched many ASU games, including in person). I don't think he has the football mind that will be able to pick-up on the Peyton Manning style. He played in a very simple offense in college and rarely went through progressions. When he did throw he was locked onto his receiver almost everytime. Isn't this the same issue Tebow had?

I don't dislike Osweiler, my problem is the position he plays. We are a win now team and Vinny Curry, Lamichael James, Rueben Randle and Dwayne Allen were all on the board.

All those guys would have made an immediate impact (even at least as special teamers.) Osweiler doesn't offer that.

Also he is going to have to sit forever.

I dislike the fact that we used a second round pick on him, when there were clearly more pressing needs. We could have got kirk cousins in the 4th, or several other developmental QB's later.

I would have much rather drafted LaMichael James or Lavonte David. and traded up in the third for Osweiler.

This is what people don't understand. You don't draft a QB late with the expectations of having him develop into something. It rarely happens. There aren't many late round guys floating around out there who became great because they waited around for awhile. There are some, but not many.

If you actually want to take a QB to develop, it needs to be a QB early. How is what I said not the point? The Colts went the route everyone who doesn't like Osweiler is advocating. They took late round developmental guys, who went as late in the draft as they did because they lacked in a ton of areas.

Brock Osweiler actually has talent, but he also needs to wait. Ergo, this is a perfect situation for him.

I voted both. Feel free to get on me as a rival fan, but I'd feel the same way no matter who picked him.

Osweiler was a nobody coming into the process, shot up draft boards based on arm strength and size for the position. He was unimpressive at ASU. Folded under pressure. Took a lot of sacks (and don't go on an Oline rant) he stood there lost as to what to do and took sacks. He's a 1 year starter who did well against the Pac 12, but in the NFL his size and sluggish foot speed will hamper him.

There are some things to like about his game, but he's a classic throw at the WR, no anticipation type QB. Slow footed and will be a big target in the pocket.

I will root for him. Saw him play in high school numerous times (basketball also).
