As of right now he is the starter. They didn't pursue Cutler very hard. They brought in Leftwich, and didn't sign him.he is very far from a for sure thing, I dont even think he is the best QB on the roster right now. They could draft and/or trade for a QBAt QB34?????Round 17?although perhaps not much of a payoff, it's late in the 17th and he is a starting QB as (right now)
17.12 Luke McCown, QB TB
Seriously, who goes before him after 25-27 QBs come off the board???
excellent value right now though
Where I'm at (Pick 16) I had to take him as there were only two starters left IMHO, him and Shaun Hill. Hard to wait on that with others needing a QB2.Current ADP:well its not aCraig Nall pick (where is construx??) but im pretty sure he could have waitedJeff is only mad because he took him at pick 10.01 in our draft.he is very far from a for sure thing, I dont even think he is the best QB on the roster right now.

If they dont draft QB, I could see them rotating all those guys in and out making them all worthless. I dont think he was worth it at round10, but each one of these dratfs is different and i understand not getting caught in a run.As of right now he is the starter. They didn't pursue Cutler very hard.

Do you think Brian Griese is going to impress them enough in training camp to beat him out? Or a second year player in Josh Johnson?
Aside from an injury, McCown is going to be given every opportunity to be the starter. <<---Even though the guy with the horns is over there, I live in the Tampa Bay area and the Bucs is all that I hear on local TV and radio. All the talk is that they really like McCown. I find it similar to the Vikings last year, where Childress put his boy T. Jackson in at the beginning of the season. After a couple of subpar performances, he stuck the vet in.If they dont draft QB, I could see them rotating all those guys in and out making them all worthless.

Griese could take that job in camp easily.
Done.Jarett Dillard, WR ???Someone please PM next.
taking him over Shaun Hill isn't a very good moveYou should look a bit closer at Hill, and also his stats compared to rest of NFL while he was starting.He started then got a bye to sorta get comfy. He started 8 games and was 5-3 on top of that 2 of those games they lost by just 5 points. When's the last time a niners QB was a winning QB or had a shot at 7-1?Did I mention half the teams they played were playoff teams?6 of 8 games 90 or higher QB rating140+ one week which is awesome.5 of them multiple TD games64 % career completion percentage 68% last yearwhat more could you want from a young QB not named Ryan?You hope McCown is as good as Hill. Also Vikes are just plain dopey for needing a QB(all this time before Sage) and yet they had him.ETA one other thing, this is the only board I frequent where he'd have gone this late in drafts. By summer he'll go far soonerWhere I'm at (Pick 16) I had to take him as there were only two starters left IMHO, him and Shaun Hill. Hard to wait on that with others needing a QB2.
I pretty much agree with your post except 29 is not young in the NFL. He's 2 weeks younger than Carson Palmer.ETA: somewhat ironically, in W4:taking him over Shaun Hill isn't a very good moveYou should look a bit closer at Hill, and also his stats compared to rest of NFL while he was starting.Where I'm at (Pick 16) I had to take him as there were only two starters left IMHO, him and Shaun Hill.

6 of 8 games 90 or higher QB rating
140+ one week which is awesome.
5 of them multiple TD games
64 % career completion percentage 68% last year
what more could you want from a young QB not named Ryan?
You hope McCown is as good as Hill.

I like Shaun Hill - I have him in a few leagues.But in Survivor, him vs. McCown - I like McCown for this year for three reasons:1. TB has better receiver options. SF has Morgan and....? Bruce may not make the cut. Brandon Jones is unreliable. VD is in the doghouse. TB has ABryant, 2 good RBs that can catch, and KW2.2. SF is going to run quite a bit, de-emphasizing the pass. They're aiming at working Gore a ton.3. Shaun Hill isn't guaranteed to start, even though I agree he should. You mention Hill's numbers, which are very good. I don't want to drop any more names but there are other QBs that aren't starting now despite good 2008 numbers.taking him over Shaun Hill isn't a very good moveYou should look a bit closer at Hill, and also his stats compared to rest of NFL while he was starting.He started then got a bye to sorta get comfy.

3. "You can't" use that against Hill and consequently in favor of McCown. He's no guarantee to start either. Doesn't seem like a good argument.2. Where'd ya get that from? When I've seen quotes from Singletary they discuss a balanced offense. Regardless, they ran almost 400 times in 08. Maybe they can squeeze 50 more but that's 3 per game hardly an amount that'll negatively effect the QBs stats.1. TB better receiving options- If you want to say it's the 32nd and 31st receiving corps then fine but "better WRs" and Bucs just don't go in the same sentence for me. No doubt the 49ers lack a star but, they have a fun group of scrappy complimentary guys. Most everyone of them had their moments in 2008 which is intriguing to me for 09. Galloway is in NE. Last I looked Hilliard wasn't on a team. I like Clayton as a hopeful to get it together guy but, who wows you on the Bucs? Bottom line for me here is Hill did well with his scrappy WR corps, asking McCown to do well with his seems like a tall order. If I were the Bucs 16 year old coach, I'd have them run every imaginable chance I could.1. TB has better receiver options. SF has Morgan and....? Bruce may not make the cut.

I guess we shall see.... but everything I've heard from SF is that it is Morgan and Jones, with Bruce in the slot (or another WR).Niners NationIf Bruce doesnt retire, he'll have better stats than bothnot according to this website.

ETA: You do see 3 guys in green, right? That means they're competing to start and there's not a guarantee. Bruce is by no means a guaranteed starter.
