I’ve said the following countless times in my 2010 NFL Mock Draft and NFL Draft Mailbag: New regimes mean new quarterbacks. When a new head coach and/or general manager are hired, they usually want to bring in “their guy.” Unless the team’s signal-caller is on a Pro Bowl level or is being paid tons of…

Spend enough time on an NFL Draft forum, and you’re bound to run into posts containing those words in between reading about how great/awful Tim…
