The second part is how I feel. We have a very experienced offensive former QB as a HC now. I’m down with whoever he thinks he can develop into our franchise QB. It’s been a while since we had someone like that on our staff, much less with the input of a HC position. Most QBs not taken number 1 overall are a bit of a gamble. Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, even Herbert were gambles that their teams’ staffs did a great job in drafting and developing along the way.

Yeah I watched that game (live in Knoxville so it was hyped up around here). There wasn’t much he could do. They didn’t open up the passing game until it was out of hand. When it was like 30-6 halfway though the 3rd he did start throwing up bad balls, but to me his only other option was take a sack. His first pick around 3:15 is just the WR getting hit and the ball shooting out of his hands. Check out around 4:00 of his 3rd down hike and immediate sacks by at least 2 different defenders busting through his terrible OL. It does get bad halfway through the 3rd though.

I get that but between the two, if you are gambling anyway, might as well gamble for the higher return.

Yeah I think Richardson has the higher ceiling and is younger. I’d probably prefer him as well.

It’s a very good point. I guess you could argue the top 2 have more of the traits he likes his QBs to have like accuracy/footwork. They all need to be coached/developed though as few rookie QBs look solid immediately in the NFL.

It’s a shame, because he has some nice quality/traits as well. That poor man will get broken in the NFL…

Check out his previous year. He was playing injured this year with an awful OL and his OC sucked so bad he was fired before the season was over. He isn’t my top choice, but there is definitely potential there similar to Richardson.

Haener looks very tiny

Who wants Cam when you can have Sam??

I have nothing against Levis. I’ve said the whole time if he is Reich’s guy, I’m more than ok with it. I think he played injured last year with a terrible OC, terrible OL, and few weapons.

Baker won the Heisman? Is he not a scrub?

Agreed. It also seems like we wanted Reich to find and develop our next QB. So as long as they listen to his input I think we are in better hands than we have been in a long time.

If Levis is really who the staff wants then I’m good with it. I do find it very hard to believe that have any idea which QB they want this early though. I mean we don’t even have an OC yet and our HC was hired like a week ago?

He loves Sam in the same illogical way @rippadonnloves Corral. It’s a sickness…

Depends on how the draft falls and how far up we trade. I could see us moving up to 4-5 and drafting either Levis or Stroud (whichever is available)

My fault. I had you confused with @CPcavedweller. You two just remind me of each other with your nonsense babbling about nothing. Carry on....

You stated there is not one worth trading up for like a Lawrence. Teams are never going to be able to trade up for picks like that because they aren't for sale. Mahomes and Allen were question marks that teams traded up for. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't.

He stated he has never not called them and it would be difficult to give it up.

Teams won’t trade out of the top pick when it’s a talent like Lawrence with little question marks. You can only get those guys by finishing last.

I’m actually on board with whoever Reich/Fitt think is the guy. It feels weird to be somewhat confident in our staff…

Completion % rarely tells the full story. It really depends on the offense and average air yards per pass attempt and drops etc… I see a lot of AR’s passes going deep. A WCO QB for example should have a higher completion % than one that goes deep more often. That doesn’t make the WCO guy better or more accurate.

You just said you would take Richardson on another thread…

It’s hard to tell. He was solid the prior year, but was injured early this year and had little help from his OL and OC. Whenever I saw him play bad he was getting hit instantly because his RT was terrible and he couldn’t run as well with his injured foot/toe.

Not even a month old with a negative rep. Why do they make these dumb troll accounts?

Shrine Bowl is looking pretty boring at 3-0 right now…
