By whom? The Cardinals? And it is when not if. I think Kyler would be step up over Bryce but that is a figurative step since they are both too short. The difference is we don't have to pay Bryce 46M a year. How much of that would Arizona cover anyway?
Bryce would be a better fit for Shanahan's offense, but they would never trade a qb they know can run their system for one who might be able to run their system. We would have to give us too much to even the scales, and I hope we don't do that.
I was in on Mac Jones after his first start for the 49ers, but upon some reflection and early replies from this board caused me to think there are some problems:
1. he doesn't have a strong arm either but can put some zip on short accurate passes; we would have the same problem with him as we do with Bryce in not being able to stretch the field vertically;
2. he's under contract next year so we would have to give up some draft capital to get him; and
3. is Mac actually a good qb now or is he a product of Kyle Shanahan and his offensive scheme (neither of which will be in Carolina next year)?
Too many holes on this team (lb, safety, pass rush, a new rt, wr room, te) to think we are that close. We need another top notch draft and a few players to finally develop (XL and Brooks) to get there.
The Browns had a 1st, two 2nd's (Schwesinger was excellent pick), and two thirds (Fannin was excellent pick), so I guess they felt like they could gamble on a late third qb lottery ticket. You are right though. No need to use a third when everyone else was done w/ the qb's. Hell, the next one to go was Shadeur in the 5th.
What? He stands out to me with a great motor and effort. He'll be fine Go watch that Packers podcast review of the game. That guy was impressed by Scourton.
