Drafting a new QB every 4-5 years

Yes I know this thread is stupid, but I don't really care...

 

With the money being spent on "elite" QBs, what if teams drafted a QB in the first round (trading up if necessary) and didn't re-sign him, but instead just drafted another first round QB when their contract was up?

 

What I'm trying to get at is say we drafted Bridgewater and released Cam. How much better would we be with a rookie QB plus $15 mil in FAs every year for 4 years vs Cam and our current roster?

 

Discuss... or don't.

It's a horrible idea

 

Although the last two champions and 3 of the last 4 teams to play in the SB have had QB's on their rookie contracts.

 

But if you were to be able to franchise and trade them for multiple first round picks each time, then it could be different.

 

You could be drafting a top 5 QB each time, having them kill it, and then trade them away for another top 5 pick plus others.  You'd have a ton of high round draft picks and a lot of cap space by doing that.

 

Still, it would be tough to do that on a consistent basis every 4 or 5 years

Rather give the QB $15 million.  You can't really do that much with $15 million.  You can sign a starter and a stud or you can sign about 3 starters (using media terms here, not Dave Gettlemen terms).

 

Also what if you just drafted Blaine Gabbert or Jamarcus Russel?  Yea I'll take the sure thing.  You also need to remember that even though quarterbacks are paid way too much, every other team in the league is doing the exact same thing.  If the price of quarterbacks went down the price of other positions would go up.  It all rounds out to the same amount of cap space (basically every team works the cap like this: salary cap - qbcost = salary cap you can use)

I probably wouldn't pick the QB position but other positions YES. For example why pay someone like Dwill or Jstew 8/9 mil when you can just draft a replacement. CJ is a great example too. He cost way too much even with his level of production.

3 of 4? I can't figure out the 3rd after RW and JF

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
