QB of the Future, and Fox's Job Security..


DelhommesTheMan

Recommended Posts

So it's obvious we arent that good of a team this year. It's also obvious we have too much talent too be a really bad team this year. We will likely finish somewhere in the 6-10 area..Which brings the spotlight on Fox. Will Fox be here next year, and what effect will that have on our QB situation? According to some articles Fox is a lame duck coach just waiting to get canned..

Now theres a QB who's available who could be the future of our organization. Maybe he will be a bust? Regardless theres a young QB with potential, ripe for the picking off of a horendous team...Now i dont care if it was Quinn or someone else, would Fox take a QB of the Future, if he wont be in our future? Basically is Fox's job security hurting our future. Given his mindset, and the mindset i would have if this may be my last year, who cares about the future, i wont be here..I feel like this hurts our team in the long run..

Thoughts?

you guys are screwed. you gave big money/years to jake and it appears he is broken again. you could drop him or demote him but its going to come at a big cost to your team. this is a great reason why you make your players play out the contract that they signed. big extension to jake and now you have a big problem b/c of it.

If we went with a Notre Dame product, at this point I might rather have Jimmy Claussen than Brady Quinn.

I was thinking about Clausen too so I looked up a mock draft. He was projected to go 20th. If that is anywhere near correct we will not have a shot. I REALLY hate that we gave up our 1st round pick.

We have a better chance of plucking a Chad Henne type guy off someone's roster. I know we can't get Henne now, but someone like him who is a backup. Maybe Kevin Kolb?? Or if Philly lets McNabb go after this year we could plug him in for a year or 2.

Maybe its his big muscles and myoplex.

That's probably what it is. Because I still can't understand what people love so much about this guy. I've heard people criticize us for passing him up for 3 years now, saying that he would have turned out better than the Beason/Kalil trade combo. This is the same guy who just lost his job to "2 complete passes Derek Anderson", right?

Well, hes very talented, and he is not a retard.

He scored a 29 on his wonderlic, which is pretty good. Depending on how relevant one believes the wonderlic score is.

I believe he could be had for a decent price.

Dan Marino scored a 6 and Ryan Leaf scored a 30. Nuff said.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
