JHoo’s Summer Reading 2011: Quarterbacks

Summer is here … I think … and so it is time for Summer Reading, our annual breakdown of next year’s squad on a unit-by-unit basis. As always, we start with the quarterbacks for the simple reason that we always start there.

There is an irony to starting with the quarterbacks this time around, however, as we probably know as little about that unit as any other on the team (irony number two is that the one unit that is also in that discussion – the safeties – will be the other bookend in the Summer Reading breakdowns).

The Disclaimer

Before we get into the quarterbacks, let me make one disclaimer that applies across the board with respect to the Summer Reading columns: there remains a fair amount of conversation going on about the slotting of a few players in the incoming class, as well as the possibility of changing the positions of a few players on the current roster. I will try to get into those potential changes and slotting as I go through the various units but, given that there is as much discussion on the topic as I can remember in recent years, I fully expect that some developments will occur after the columns that cover particular units. In other words, I am putting pen to paper – really, fingers to keyboard – knowing that what I write is going to be overtaken by later developments at least a couple of times.
