Exaggeration is something most sports fans do. How many “once in a generation” prospects have you heard about in your life. It gets amplified for the QB position like everything else. The staff has spoken pretty clearly about Teddy and I don’t see us coming back from that. Teddy was a risky FA that looked solid in a limited window with a ton of talent around him in NO. We gambled (a little) on him and it didn’t work out. There is a reason teams are not blowing up our phones to trade for him. The Niners are “interested” because there starter always gets hurt and they want a solid backup for insurance. I personally wouldn’t mind him starting while we groomed a Fields or Lance, but I don’t know if that’s possible anymore.

Norwell fits the Rhule mold better than Turner right now. Hard worker, practices hard overachiever kind of player.

Why does this guy like Teddy so much? Does the Huddle over exaggerate how bad Teddy is? Yes, of course. Should fans be satisfied with Teddy as their starting QB? No, of course not. He is a good backup who can step in and win some games by playing it safe. Our Owner, GM, and Head Coach have all hinted at upgrading our QB position. I’ll be the first to admit I thought he had potential in Joe Brady’s offense with our weapons last year before the season started and several games in. I saw enough to know he isn’t the answer...

I’m worried the Dolphins will trade for Watson and the Texans will use the number 3 pick to select Fields. Making it Lawrence, Wilson, and Fields at 1, 2, and 3 with Watson gone and a very little chance Lance makes it to us...

This is what I’ve been trying to say. He was also missing some players and playing hurt against Alabama. I hope he falls and we are able to get him. Seems to check all the boxes, great arm, athletic enough to extend plays, no major injuries, big frame to take NFL hits, no off field issues, always seems classy on his interviews and has only a couple losses. People are ignoring his 2019 season where COVID didn’t mess everything up. He has the ability to be a Watson type player. I keep hearing the Ohio St QB reasoning too which I’m not buying. LSU before Burrow had what Matt Flynn and Russell? Clemson had no QBs before Watson that made it great in the NFL. Texas Tech ran a “college offense” that pad stats and had no star NFL QBs and Mahomes turned out pretty good...

I like Fields. He looked great in 2019, struggled in a couple games where his players and staff were affected by COVID.

Herbert’s last 3 were 2 Passing TDs and 1 INT against lesser competition. Not saying we just draft Mond, but we should definitely do our homework on him.

The Raiders actually have a solid line. Not a fan of Russ, but come on man.... Carr is no where near him when it comes to playing the QB position. Gruden and Russ would be two huge egos for one team to juggle though...

Zack’s face is too punchable, I’ll take Fields or Lance though.

I suppose we can give them Teddy for a 2nd or 3rd....

If we some how get Watson and they get Russ, it will make for some nice rivalry games.

They need to trade Kamara, Lattimore, Cam Jordan, Mike Thomas, and 3 first round picks.

The fear is that Jones could be similar to a Greg McLeroy or AJ McCarron because he had possibly even better talent then they did. He should be better than them, but anything close to that doesn’t warrant a first round pick. I think if he goes to the right team he can be a solid QB. I just don’t think we are that team at this moment.

I wouldn’t mind him here for cheap. Luke can help him train and he can’t be worse than Whitehead. Special teams/backup at worst.

So they are definitely drafting Wilson or Fields if they can’t get Watson.

He might not be there when we pick, but yeah definitely Fields over Mond.

Well Peter, prepare to be surprised!

OR and hear me out... we trade with Miami and then trade with the Jets and then trade with the Niners to trade with the Texans, but this is where it gets good! We trade with the Texans, not for Watson, but for another player or draft pick to gain their trust.... THEN we trade for Watson! Boom! They should have made me GM I swear.

He would never miss tie day that’s for sure!

All about that Donaldson!

It’s because of the risk/reward IMO. He has the potential to be the best of the group, but could also struggle against better competition. Because if the importance of the position I think he is worth a first round pick.

If we end up drafting Lance or Fields, would we not need Teddy to at least start the first few games (maybe longer if it’s Lance)? He already knows the offense and if we fix our line he should be serviceable for a little bit...

Jacoby Brissett?

CMC with Allen and Diggs would be nasty. The only way CMC leaves Carolina is if it is needed to land Watson IMO.
