So why not Weedon?

I joked about it before he even played against the demigod Luck.

I never got a prize for doing what was expected of me.

he could compete with Moore right away.

however, you also know that you would be looking for another franchise QB in a few years since he will be 29 (?) when he is drafted.

i've been waiting for this moment all my life...but it's not quite right.

if we get 6 - 8 good years out of him that'd be great.

But he has to start right away. I like the skill set Weeden would bring to this team. I don’t care about his age, he’ll just be more mature than most people.

Hey

Are you talking about Alpha again?
