    • Bring in some journeyman vet out there that will get cut or traded

    • Kaepernick, he can play. We have Reid already. No issue here

    • Another young guy with some tools that the coaches can mold and compete

What are you doing

A. Keep holding hope 1 of Allen or Grier will pan out this season if something happens

B. Kaepernick.  You dont have an issue here.  The guy can play, he wont be a distraction 

 

C. Some vet will be available via cut or trade.  

 

D. Some other young guy with some tools that the coaches can work with and bring competition.

 Yes, please. Let’s devote more resources to do what we should have this Spring. 

  There are too many question marks with the team as a whole to trade anything more than a 4-5th for some help. And for that you will probably get more of what you already have.If Cam can’t go, just start the wrecking ball. 

 If you want to help Cam and the QB position, trade for an elite LT that is actually available. Because we got OL issues. I know that’s not the “fun” way to look at things but the truth hurts some folks.

It doesn't make any sense to try to salvage the season if Cam goes down or just hasn't got it any more.  You play the youngsters and find out if you have anything there with real bullets flying.  If you find something, great, maybe you're still competitive.  If you don't find anything, you know what you have, and you have a top 10 pick to leverage toward getting a franchise QB.

Let's face it, Cam has a $21 million cap hit next year, but only 2 million is dead.  He's easy to cut if he shows he doesn't have it, which gives you all sorts of options next spring.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
