Is Zach Wilson becoming the consensus Huddle pick?

Teddy is simply not fun to watch.  I want to be entertained again.  Cam brought that to CLT.  Can Wilson?  He's got moxie.  I'll give him that.  If we go with him, there's no reason not to support him and to get excited about his potential.

 

For me, Lance is the way to go though.  Similar skillset as Wilson but with an arm cannon.  I want to see the BIG throws downfield.  Take the top off with speed.  Lance can thrive doing that.

Any round one QB would be fine. It would also give me another year to not flip out and let the team continue its “rebuild”. I wouldn’t say one word if we drafted a round 1 QB, sat them a year and let Teddy play so that he could develop, and we could build our O line back up. 
 

If we don’t, and just decided to roll with Teddy for another year without someone to develop or claim he is a franchise QB, then I will have no faith in the direction that the team is going

Couldn’t agree more. If they don’t draft a QB in round 1 I have no doubt the Rhule regime will not last very long. I don’t care if Bridgewater starts next season but there needs to be a young QB waiting in the wings to take over.

He's my top choice as a realistic pick (I don't think Fields will be there and Lawrence is out of the question even in a trade)

He can make every throw you want on the field which is a pre-requiste in my mind to being a franchise guy, more importantly he isn't scared to make them. He's mobile enough to survive in the modern game. And he throws a fantastic deep ball. He would be a guy teams would have to spend all week figuring out how to defend the whole field because he can beat you anywhere.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
