If Lance is on the board I'm sprinting to the podium. But it's HIGHLY unlikely any of the top 4 QBs make it to 8 now. Lance is an absolute no brainer in that position he has talent off the charts and we still have Teddy to be a crash test dummy for a year while Lance develops. Next year we could use our first rounder on LT. Rounds 2-4 this year on CB and OG/C. 

If all 4 QBs are gone it's a much harder scenario. I take Slater or Sewell at 8 if both are there. If both are gone I agree the best move is to trade down and try to nab the VT OT

Lance is the absolute definition of boom or bust. One year of tape against marginal competition, but man he looked so good that season. The one game in ‘20 was pretty average, but I think with his athletic upside his absolute worst case scenario in the nfl is a vastly more dynamic Taysom Hill.

I have a feeling if we drafted him I would have the same reaction as when we drafted cam- apprehensive about the prospect of drafting him, but then super excited when it actually happens. I think Brady, coming from the saints would also try to get him in the mix his rookie season in some fashion, which would add some much needed sauce to a very predictable (boring) QB situation.

I agree, though I think Cam was a much more surefire prospect. 

I just think if you're drafting this high you have to swing for the fences and Lance is that.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
