How good would we be with a QB???

Two things:

First of all...I am and admitted Jake lover. I think the guy is a great leader..especially late in the game. And I'd love to see him be a great QB. But I know he's not.

Second...I understand that we would have to give up a lot to get a good QB. We would either have to draft one and take a chance that he's not a Ryan Leaf, David Carr, Brady Quinn bust...or we'd have to give up a lot via a trade to get one.

So with that said, I have the question in the subject line. How good would our football team be if we had a top 10 QB? I'm not talking a Peyton, Tom, or Drew. Just a Matt Schaub, Rothlisburger, Matt

Ryan, Eli, Romo, even Kevin Kolb.

Jake is an adequate QB at best. And a disaster at worst. My thoughts are that we are a QB away from being a real championship contender. How far am I off? That seems to be the only piece missing to me. I wouldn't even demand a new coach. I think Fox could make it happen. Just give us a QB. What all do you guys think we are missing?

What's the point in a QB. Drafting a high round, high pick QB is like sweeping the dirt under the John Fox rug. There's a reason he doesn't draft certain players...he can't develop them. Does anyone on this board actually think that Fox could develop a QB? Look at Matt Moore?

Answer to the question is no, not until we get a new coach.

Yeah When we get a new HC that when it will happen

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
