Should we draft a Quarterback this Year ?

You are going to lose probably every game afterwards like arizona did. They had already clinched by then.

You only get 7 or so picks so why waste one on someone that will never see the field or if they do we will lose anyway?

And when we have like dozen other depth/starter needs?

 

 

Depends on who is there in the 4th and later. Nothing wrong with spending a late round flier on a QB if we have met our needs for the most part. Cam and DA are good to have, but after watching what happened to Arizona this year, I definitely think we need a 3rd option.

 

Never said don't fill our needs to draft a 3rd QB. By all means, fill the glaring needs, LT, WR, DBs. If a guy is sitting there in the 6th or 7th, and you believe he may have "it", don't pass it up. That goes for any position really. 6 of 21 Hall of Fame QBs have come from the 4th round or later. Moon was a UDFA and Warner is up for induction this year as an UDFA. I realize those are exceptions to the rule of late round QBs, but you can't just discount a player because he's sitting there in later rounds.

Right now, our biggest needs are WR2, LT and safety.   well.......and someone that can return punts. 

 

The rest of the picks should be for depth.     Get some depth at RT and the guards position.  Some quality depth behind Bene and Norman would also be nice.

Derek Anderson is 31 and has half a decade left in him. Will he eventually want to move on and try to start? Who knows, but he seems okay in his backup position here.

 

You'd be wasting a pick to draft a #3 QB. Draft guys that will contribute, at least on special teams (ala Joe Webb).

Mr. Bundchen = 6th round pick

 

Look, I remember us burning picks on Pickles, Stefan LeFors, and Tony Pike. Yes, it made me gun-shy about us drafting QBs. But QB is THE most important positon in football. Period.

 

New England had Drew Bledsoe at the time they drafted Mr. Bundchen. Drew got hurt and the Patriots have never looked back. Huddlers need to start looking beyond immediate needs and be open to possibilities, because what if next year, Cam's throwing shoulder is (God forbid) permanently damaged in a freak hot air balloon accident. Stranger things have happened, as this year can attest to.

 

Hasn't Gettleman earned your trust yet? If he makes the call about drafting a QB in the 4th-7th round, I'm going to be excited about what he saw in that prospect. And if Cam does prove worthy to be our franchise QB, there's nothing wrong with having a back-up QB who could get us high draft picks in a trade. Remember the picks New England got for trading Matt Cassel? How about what Seattle got when they traded Matt Flynn to Oakland?

First three rounds?

 

I don't know if I could get behind that.

 

Later rounds maybe.

 

There are a few who could be around toward the end of the draft that I might take a chance on (not even sure if one comes out--he probably won't):

 

Shane Carden, ECU.  He has a bit of a hitch, but when I watched him this year, I was impressed.

Kevin Hogan, Stanford.  I hear he has accuracy issues, but when I saw him play, he was on fire.

Got an opinion on Connor Cook?

    • 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.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
