Normally when all three of these things align a ''New QB'' is all but guaranteed, so with that being the case what would you like to see?

Initial thoughts, if we trade for Watson how do we handle the dead money from trading or releasing Teddy? Would we be able to FT / extend Moton? Potentially losing multiple first round picks in the process on a team that still has lacking talent on the OL, LB, and secondary. 

Being able to build around a talented rookie at that pay-scale allowing us to bolster other parts of the roster over the first 5 years of a rookie's career is an extremely valuable asset knowing the money that Watson or even a Stafford would command, I'm not really in on Stafford as he's always seemingly an injury risk, and he's older than Cam so that's a move that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I'd do my due diligence. I'd be scouting the hell out of these QBs and I'd also be having preliminary conversations with Houston and Detroit to determine the viability of working out a deal. I'd also be having preliminary conversations with teams like Miami that may potentially be willing to move down. Gotta explore all options and not go all in on any Plan A. Don't be Mike Shula.

Fields or Wilson yes. 

Lance has the biggest risk associated with him. 

If we want Lance and have a shot to get him (maybe even with a trade back?) I think it would be worth the risk, but you'd have to sit him for at least a year, maybe 2, behind Teddy for him to develop in time. Could be a tremendous move in the long run, but we'd have to put up with watching Teddy start for another year+... Give me a trade up for Fields if possible.

This is their first stint in their current positions at the NFL level....so ''new''.

Enjoy yourself. 

I get that, and I also think it's likely we grab a new QB this offseason but Rhule and Tepper technically already got their "new QB." They moved on from Cam who wasn't all that far removed from an MVP and then were involved in picking Teddy. I do think they've seen enough from Teddy that they will move on from him this soon but I don't think it's the 100% sure thing that it would seem to be if they hadn't already signed a QB to a starter contract last year.

      Bryce = Alex Smith

      Right. I didn’t think it was good either but the QB sure did. He was the defacto number one target, not Chark, was my point.

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

      By strato · Posted

      We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.
