Voth: Time to draft a mid-round QB

I'd say it is a certainty. A said weeks ago using one of the thurd rounders on a QB is likely.

I hope not.  We already have a project (though admittedly not a third round talent, not that that fact matters).

I would rather draft a guy with higher upside.  Now of course is said third rounder has the upside of a Dak Prescott, then that's different. That doesn't usually happen though. 

I'd almost rather wait and try to get a backup in FA.  Bridgewater would be great if cheap enough.

Why not just pick one up in FA?

Using a draft pick on a QB after watching receivers drop passes left and right on the road in the playoffs is a little absurd.

the ones in free agency will cost alot more and we dont have that much cap room

Cam says, "Hello!"

and before anyone says "well we had the #1 pick" . Theres been plenty of top 5 QB busts , or otherwise first round QB busts and especially in Cams draft. Besides Cam and Andy Dalton , there were a ton of busts (Gabbert, Locker, Ponder among others).

Now you know that was all Ron.  Go back and watch his presser after the draft.  Ron did all the research and it was his choice to which QB he was going to tie his head coaching career to.

Nice try though.

Ron can't do anything---make that decision without the full support of the GM.  But you know that.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
