Good quotes from a story on the Pack Back Up QB: "The free-agent market is full of experience but mostly devoid of talent." & Coach McCarthy: "To me, it's experience or talent. I've always developed quarterbacks leaning toward the talent. Youth has never scared me away."
I would say a QB will be drafted hearing those verbal tea leaves.

March books read: 9
Fiction: 6 Non Fiction: 3
Best Discovering Global Warming noted that the concept was around as early as the 1930's.
Read 2 Doig novels. Dancing at the Rascal Fair was a love triangle of sorts while Sea Runners was a good adventure novel, based on actual events.
Completed the 1st volume of Proust and read Roth's Anatomy Lesson which I never got in sync with.
