Im not sold on Lance but i think its obvious we select him at 8 if we dont move up. Warts and all, hes going to be a hot commodity. An outside chance we trade the pick to someone else if we dont think hes the guy. 

Also its quite possible we, or another team, move up to take him at 5. 

I think Rhule probably doesnt want to do that, but i get the feeling Tepper wants to make a statement for a qb.

Another reason why we aren't tanking. We're taking a shot on somebody. Anybody.

I don't necessarily agree with that approach because I think that thought played a big role in us ending up with Teddy. We came to the conclusion that Cam's shoulder was shot and made the call to move on. There was a guy who had worked with Brady in the past and ran a very similar offense, what could go wrong? Well, evidently a lot.

The main thing could be that guy has a set of garden peas between his legs. combined with a weak ass arm

Minshew and Trubisky are my last resort guys. I'd rather try one of them out than roll with Teddy again, but really hoping we can land a better prospect.

How many wins does Minshew or Trubisky result in? I dont think either of these guys are the future. I would rather throw a true scrub out there so we can get an actual QB next offseason than roll with mediocre.

Sure, they're not ideal, but I'm just concerned about the cost/benefit ratio of landing a big fish. I just don't want to compromise the building of the team in an effort to get our answer @ QB. The "at any cost" mentality doesn't make sense to me. It will just make things unbalanced imho.

I honestly think his complete aversion to risk is a bigger issue than his arm strength. His arm is definitely subpar for an NFL QB, but it wasn't AS bad as I expected it to be.

I get that. I'm all for being very aggressive, but only for a guy we REALLY like.  I don't want to see us get aggressive to go after the 3rd or 4th option on our list.

Honestly, I would too but I absolutely do not think we're going to do that. We had the perfect opportunity for a "tank" season last year and we passed on it.

I think of the QB's we can realistically obtain they want Watson, Fields, or Lance. I don't see us making a move unless its for one of those 3.

I think if we sign Watson, draft Lance, draft Fields, or draft Mac....we will form into two huddle tribes of rage.   

I only see us uniting as one if Teddy starts. 

That is the funny part.  Why rag over something you have absolutely no control?  The only thing I rag over is the officiating if it's not in our favor.  And then I kick myself for getting upset over a game. 

But that's me.  I laugh when I see someone type "I'll be fine with" or "I'll be ok if" statements.  That's just weird to me.

Carry on.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
