Does it even matter who the QB is at this point?


Recommended Posts

It does not. Rhule is basically on paid vacation, the fact that a couple weeks ago he had a sit down with darnold and flat out said it's the first time they've really had a conversation is fireable offense alone. The HC of the team hadn't talked to the starting QB until a quarter way through the season? Thats not normal folks.

It doesn't matter. It's the line. No QB will look good or have the chance to succeed behind our second and third string line, who would struggle to make a scout team for most other franchises. 

Sam's looked bad, but I still don't think we can evaluate him. As a pro, we've only ever gotten to see him behind a terrible line. I doubt we'll see him next year, because the fans will have soured on him, just like they did with Teddy and demand a change. 

But until the line gets fixed, it's just gonna be this pattern of bring in QB, QB looks like crap because he's running for his life, fans turn on QB, trade/draft/spend FA dollars on new QB, repeat.

100%. The offense won’t be any good until the line gets addressed. I’d rather trade back and get a couple of interior d-line than draft a qb and set them up behind this garbage.

It’s not exactly the same BUT I’m a State fan and I remember when we hired Dave Doeren. He went 23-4 at NIU…supposed to be building a program. 
 

Comes to NCSU and frankly I thought he sucked. Mediocre at best results. Couldn’t ever get over the hump. Teams looked careless. But he did SOME good things. 
 

Fast forward last couple years…when healthy and playing his best players State is pretty good. 
 

Players matter and nobody is more important than the QB. Rhules teams have done SOME good things. The defense is good (but can’t be on the field all game). The running game has been solid. The ST is coming around. The elephant in the room is the offense as a whole and the offense isn’t going to o function without a QB. 
 

Doeren found a QB. Rhule needs to as well.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
