QB conundrum

Recommended Posts

I really want a QB at 8. So what will give us our best shot at snagging one? What should we hope for? 

 I don't know the answers to my questions and that's why I'll turn it to you guys. I'll pose a few. Do we want Mac Jones to show out in the title game. Do we want Fields to as well? Do we want the combine to show Lance as a legit contender or should we hope it's canceled to hide his talents?  Could Wilson slip without a combine or show limitations with one?   

 In my less than informed opinion I believe we should 100% hope Mac Jones puts on a show, just to make it the big 5. I also hope Fields struggles to knock him down a few slots. While I really want there to be a combine, it would probably be best for us if there wasn't. If they all look all world we could be left holding the bag with our very own cornerback. Seen several Mocks where all of the QBs outside of TL fall to us in some way. Not at once but different sights love different prospects. I really dislike the trade up scenario as I believe we will land a non consensus at 8.  Little concerned about their talent evals. after the Teddy debacle. So let the draft dictate your choice instead of trading up and being wrong. Any thoughts? Am I a dumbass for even contemplating it this early in the process?  Who do you want and how do you see us getting him?

I think the most common answer to that is going to be "I want to buy a time machine on eBay, go back to the week before the Washington game and tell Ron Rivera he needs to start Taylor Heinicke instead of Dwayne Haskins."

Barring that, it's tough.

I don't know that we're in a position to snag one of the best candidates without trading up. And if we trade up, how much draft capital are we ready to spend?

Lot of time and evaluation to be done between now and then, but the prospects are enough to make your head spin.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
