I believe they lost their first one with him so maybe 1? Ironically that's the same number of games we won WITH him this year. What are we 4-3 without him? I haven't been paying that much attention...

It's skewed greatly for QBs because they are such a premium position. Most 3rd round QBs aren't expected to be starters. They are typically backups or projects teams are rolling the dice on.

Exactly! It's much more of him being in a bad situation than anything against him. Maybe he comes in if another QB gets hurt or maybe he eventually lands on another team and lights it up like Delhomme or Geno Smith, or he could absolutely crush it in camp (if he is healthy enough) and make our staff make a tough decision. The odds aren't in his favor for him to be an immediate franchise qb here, but I wouldn't call him a bust. Especially since he was drafted in the 3rd. Hell if he makes it as a long term backup here he isn't a bust for a 3rd rounder.

Are you admitting you called Lance a bust yet or just avoiding that quote that was posted?

No, that is you making up poo again after looking bad. I said Corral won't be the reason we DON'T draft a QB. He will have a chance to compete with whoever we draft, but it's an uphill battle with a new coach and being an injured 3rd round QB. I like Corral he just got screwed by Rhule and getting injured. I don't think anyone was written him off, just stated the odds are against him because of the whole situation.

He is still asking where he ever said that AFTER you posted his exact quote. He has nothing left to fall back on at this point....

@mrcompletely11already quoted you saying it. Just scroll up page 5.... Man it's getting bad....

Calling a QB a bust after one game. They all looked bad their rookie seasons, much less one game.

Are you just trying to go in a damn circle? I gave several reason why Lance could have struggled vs Purdy in game 1. He also may take longer to develop. There are thousands of variables for trying to compare young QBs after their first few starts. Teddy Bridgewater looked better than Peyton Manning, John Elway, and Troy Aikman in his first few starts. Do you think Teddy was a better QB? It is extremely brass and ignorant to call a QB a bust after 1 game. What part of that can you not grasp? When did I say Purdy is a "JAG"? Are you just making things up? I'm not saying Lance is better than Purdy, I am saying it is most definitely TBD at this point in their young careers. Purdy could have that "it" factor and Lance could never figure it out. There is no telling at this point...

I just prefer a MUCH larger sample size before making any dumb judgements, but you keep doing you! Write off Manning, Aikman, and Elway after their rookie years too while you are at it. We should have extended Kyle Allen after his 5-0 start with us and Darnold after he started 3-0 too last year. Some QBs take time to develop and that is OK/normal. Again I think Purdy has played well and could possibly be a starting QB in this league, but let's give him some time as well....

Maybe Lance started this year on the road in bad weather conditions without Kittle and CMC in a game where HE was the leading rusher? Looks like Kittle and CMC had some great games these past few games. Purdy has looked great, but that doesn't make Lance a bust. You have to look at the whole situation instead of these brass instant judgements...

Might as well just cut him since some Huddlers deemed him a bust after 2 games. No team would pick him up instantly or anything.......

Hmm what all rookies have played? I know WIllis played one game, Pickett has played several but can't stay healthy, Howell hasn't played, Corral hasn't played, Ridder hasn't played but will this weekend.... Am I missing some others?

They are definitely tough and might be the best team in the NFC, but their defense is elite. I think we put up more points against Seattle who has a pretty weak defense.

Maybe there are fewer attempts for pressures since we are barely passing now? I wonder where our pressure percentage ranks?

Save the cap room and draft a mid/late rounder

D. Arnold is too close to Darnold....

I want better than 105 passing yards with a 58% completions, ESPECIALLY when our running game is thriving and the box is loaded. You said you wanted better than former MVP Cam Newton in his prime, but you like this? It's getting harder to harder to accept anything you say about QBs seriously anymore. -Remember Kyle Allen was 5-0 at one time as our starter.....

I didn't say he played bad. I said we won because our strategy was keep the ball out of Sam's hands. The staff knows if we have to rely on him we are doomed. Keep the passing game short and simple (6 yards per attempt) and limit the passing attempts so Sam can't lose the game. 46 rushing attempts to 24 passing. So 14/24 for 105 total passing yards is good to you?? 10 incompletion to 14 completions. Drops happen to every QB and even with those 2 he still have 8 incompletions. This is all with the defense loading the box and our rushing game absolutely crushing it. It's funny how you keep talking down draft prospects because you want the next "Manning" or "Montana," but when Sam has a very pedestrian game supported by a great rushing attack you think he played well. If we make it to the playoffs with this style of play from Sam do you want him as our guy next year?

Last one we drafted in the first was Cam, but let's just try every other more expensive strategy first....

Hopefully he won't put himself in the concussion protocol with his helmet headbutting routine....

He is definitely flying under the radar. Only threw 3 INTs last year playing in a tough conference.

You have Jayden in the first? If he gets told he has a first round grade he might leave early, but I am not 100% sure he will...

MARVIN LEWIS!! That entire list pisses me off... Where is Dan Graziano right now so I can drive there and slap him???
