I wanted the Bears to draft Dixon, even though he'll likely be IR'd to give him a full year to come back from his ACL surgery, and then I remembered that this was the Bears we were talking about. They'd have about as much use for a 6'3 QB who can move around in the pocket as they would for a left fielder or a sous chef.
I concur on Ainge and Woodson. Blecch. Brohm was the only QB they had a chance to pass on who interested me, and if only so I could write "tissue issue" for a couple of years before he died on the field.
I'm not saying Brohm isn't prone to injury, but his only real injuries were blowing out a knee (ACL I believe) and breaking his hand (only out a month). In high school, he was pretty durable... I remember you saying he had major injuries all three of his years starting in college, but honestly, I can't remember more than that. Correct me if I'm wrong...
He also comes from a family of quarterbacks with some NFL experience... so more than likely, he will know what to expect and the learning curve won't be that high. He will be interesting to watch... although, he came from my high school's biggest rival... It was an all boys Catholic high school... so we know he's pretty durable at fighting off priests in the pocket.
Maybe we should look into Cooper Manning. He's 34 and has spinal stenosis, but his dad was in the NFL and both of his brothers won the Super Bowl.
