the huddle blew up over a 3rd round QB sitting on the bench

This^^^^  Also you don't draft a top 10 pick to sit on the bench.  First rounders...potentially yes, but in the back end of the first round.  Aaron Rogers sat initially, but he wasn't the 7th pick either.

Probably right, but i have balls and ill take the gamble of tua, personally. Again, im not sure about you, but I dont work in a nfl front office so my opinion is nil.

If it means he is sitting behind a healthy Cam I would be elated...

I get ya, but I have the feeling you would be one of a very few people with that sentiment.  Too much draft capital to not be on the field immediately helping out.

 If a QB with 33 TDs and 3 ints who completed 71% of his passes in the SEC is there, and your QB is 31, heading into a contract year after 2 seasons of injuries, how do you pass on the QB?

Why would you trade one known entity injured QB for an unknown entity injured QB?

We have a bingo!  Dislcaimer #1: sit behind a healthy Cam.  Disclaimer #2: Tua himself is not damaged goods (both ankles surgically repaired AND a busted hip).

Tua's talent is undeniable but his injury rate is a HUGE concern. Not to mention a hip injury is not a joke, as someone stated earlier it was a similar injury to what ended Bo Jackson's career.

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa believes he could start right away if need be.

But his agent, who has been around a few quarterbacks in his day, thinks sitting for a year might be the best thing for his client.

Longtime agent Leigh Steinberg told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press that he thinks not starting immediately might have benefits.

 

I'd be pretty happy if we had a healthy Cam and Tua on the bench.

Marty can work his magic in the later rounds and fill the trenches...

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
