If we drafted Pickett at 7 then IMO this line will be as bad or worse next year.  If we keep getting some other teams scraps for the line then we will just be spinning our wheels.

A 4th/5th round guard is an immediate upgrade over our current guards. There is another thread going on how Miller, Scott, and Daley are looking worse this year than ever. If Rhule is still here whatever rookie OL we pick might struggle due to coaching. If we get a new coach our line Also if we draft OL and roll with Sam our team won’t look much different because he has struggled with time in the pocket…

His year was way better than any year Darnold had with less talent around him. When a player is breaking Watson’s ACC stats with Pitt talent around him I take notice. He has also broken several of Marino’s records from Pitt. This past offseason he went to Manning’s camp and got a lot of one on one time with him and has caught fire with what he learned. 42 TDs to 7 INTs in pretty impressive in itself. Burrow also only had one good year put in the work his final season and crushed it. He reminds me of a Burrow-Lite. Here is a mid season comparison of the two.

He has just become a smart player with more than enough athletic ability and arm strength. 

It took him 4 years to do that .. What are his stats over his career beyond that 1 season?? We both no the answer is horrible or non existent..

It's like signing a guy who blows up his contract year but was bad most of his career.. You can fall in that 1 year wonder hype if you want.. That is exactly how you get stuck with Baker Mayfield..

Baker played great through college.

There is Burrow with elite NFL WRs, a NFL OL, and a NFL RB.

If he doesn't fall to us (which he should), we should drop a few slots (to about 10th or 11th), pick up a 2nd round pick and either take:

Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa (6-3, 290 pounds)

Or even drop a little lower (around 12th-13th) and grab Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State (6-5, 310 pounds) but not if they think we'll miss the chance.

...

I don't see them signing DJax and getting the 3rd or 4th round comp pick from him. I hope they keep Luvu, Reddick and Gilmore, even Haynes.

All of this pls

The future of our franchise??? Who are you drafting any player for? Should we just not draft anyone because Rhule might be a lame duck coach??

So you will either force the next coach to work with a QB he might not have chosen.. Because reality is new coaches want their pick at QB not the pervious regime.. Or cut the coaching search to only Coaches that want to work with that QB.. And let's not be foolish and act like The QB position is the same as others.. New coaches come in all the time and work with other position already on the team.. But most coaches who get a new job want their choice of QB... Your doing the Josh Rosen, Clausen, thing all over again.. Instead of letting this staff deal with the mess they have made and not forcing the future choices on the next staff.

This is why we go round in circles. Both are valid arguments. 

Yeah but with the talent in this draft---the OL theory is probably the best. Pickett is IMO by far the best prepared NFL ready QB in this draft,...after him there is a lot of development guys and Pickett himself would benefit from sitting rather than being thrown into the fire right away. He's the most NFL ready I think but that doesn't mean he's actually ready.

Ok so if Rhule gets fired you are all for QB then?

One of the reasons I want Rhule to go. Frankly I would be surprised if Rhule doesn’t take a rookie QB if he sticks around. But either way I don’t think there is a franchise QB this draft.

Pickett seems to be a good decision maker. He does the things well that are hard to coach. This draft does have more OL talent it just depends on if we trade down and how we value these QBs. A good QB takes priority over a good OL in the draft for most teams. If we could trade down and snag a top OL and a Strong/Howell in the 2nd.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      If a backup QB comes into a game down by 3 scores, they're passing. It's probably going to be 4:1 pass to run. The stats are going to be skewed. It's not going to be an accurate reflection of an entire game plan from start to finish. Pretty simple stuff.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By CRA · Posted

      if you are talking game production as the discussion, you basically are forced to remove them to even get in the realm of honest discussion.  Shough has a 2 pass 4th quarter game and a late 3rd quarter entrance game.  That will wildly distort the numbers if you are wanting to talk about what he has done in games.   and the generally narrative we talk about most QBs is their starts.  Because that what a QB is.  The Bryce gymnastics and gaslighting and way worse than the "hate" around here.

      Well I'm watching every game this season so it's the same football, same time frame. I see things differently than you do. I can't tell what your actual opinion is because lately it's been coming from Joe Person and others.  For someone who doesnt believe in stats you sure as poo seem to be hung up on them. And let's not forget, Jake was a practice squad QB, not the number 1 overall draft pick. They aren't even comparable in expectations of past performance or expected level of QB play.  I didn't even mention stats for the 1st 2 years with Bryce. That would be you. What he looked like from the 1st 2 years was that same QB with the same god awful mechanics making throws squared up to the line, not driving his passes, bailing out of the pocket too early, sloppy footwork on drop backs, hopping to get his pass over the line because he's not tall enough to actually throw over a defensive player. When things aren't perfect, he looks like that same awful rookie player. That's why I said you can't ignore past performance. You go back and look to see if he's still doing those things or if he's developing.
