You know, I don't really disagree with you. I think Emery is being a tad harsh in his judgement of later round QBs. For one thing, they simply get fewer opportunities to play because they are drafted later, so in a way they are disadvantaged. If late round QBs got as many snaps as high rounders as consistently as high rounders are, would we have more Tom Bradys? I don't know, but we might.
But what's odd about it is that they are HIS words. Why would Emery essentially broadcast to his newly-drafted 6th rounder "hey, frankly dude, my philosophy says you aren't a quality QB?" I mean....seems like he would have been better off keeping his mouth shut. Right?
Yeah, you're right. He definitely tied himself up in a little bit of a pickle where he didn't have to.
I'm willing to bet Trestman was high on Fales, and that had a lot to do with it. However, that doesn't mean Emery still had to pull the trigger on it.
