Get a franchise quarterback or build the offensive line?

Pretty sure we've had this or a similar discussion before, but it's worth asking again given that we're now seven games in and have had more time to see what we have.

Which of these two things do you prioritize first: Getting our franchise quarterback of the future or building the best offensive line we can?

For this team? Honestly line. This offense right now is built to Teddy's skillset and if it ain't broke right now you don't need to fix it. Not every QB is plug n' play (in fact it's very rare that a QB isn't a system QB of some sort) and with Robby, D.J. and CMac being great at picking up extra yards there's no reason to say yeah a Rookie/2nd year QB will absolutely get us over the hump. 

 

Pretty solid class too. Not against the imagination to get a decent project in the 2nd/3rd to ride the pine for a year or two behind Teddy. 

If a guy falls to us though hey, I'd be all for it. 

 

But defense/line can do us more immediate good than a QB could right now.

You go for the franchise QB when you have the opportunity. If you need one and you think one is available, you take him. Period.

Worth noting that with a system like ours, a franchise QB isn't necessarily the same thing it would be on a team like Rivera's Panthers..

Somewhat intrinsic to this discussion is how you get that franchise quarterback.

If you believe the only true franchise quarterbacks in next year's draft are the top two or three, there is a real possibility that we might not be in position to get those guys.

Gonna need one to win it all though. At the very least one that can capture lighting in a bottle and play lights out for a few games a la an Eli or Nick Foles.

You mean the ability to force throws, evade DEs, have ice cold blood in your veins, and be the constant catalyst for the running game with a shitty offensive line?

See above though...

If we're not in a position to get one of the best three two or three quarterbacks available in next year's draft, do you still want to use a first round pick on one?

All based on our evaluation. If we think there's a franchise QB available, take him.

      Brindamour said this isn't the time of the year for making changes and therefore expect Nikishin to be a healthy scratch til at least two defenceman get injured. Yes I said two because ya don't make changes and there other guys on the roster who've played with the group in games.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
