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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
