Our future QB?

So if we sign Jay Gruden I think it’s obvious who our QB will be and here’s why

1. Carolina wants a vet QB

2. Carolina signs Jay Gruden as OC

3. panthers sign Andy Dalton, a vet QB who has a history with Jay Gruden(2011-2013)

 

Sadly I think this is more realistic than the panthers signing/trading/drafting a top QB.

 

while it’s not what we want I would rather have him than PJ Walker, he would probably be a good vet to go with Darnold and he knows Jay Grudens system. He probably won’t cost a lot of money either.

Honestly he may be a upgrade over who we had this year.

Honestly I would just stick with Darnold if he was between Dalton and Cousins!! Cuz they are not much better!! Cousins likes to piss in your cereal when things get good.. Dalton is a good backup

If anything I would go after Minshew!! He reminds me of Jake Delhomme!! I think he would bring energy to the team and play good enough to keep the offense in the game.. He has that moment to drop the ball in there!! Just think he would be a better gamble then of all these retread QBs

Cam > Minshew

God. The fact that some people really think Minshew or Mariota or Darnold etc. is a better option than Cam is frightening. Too much soda, killing off those brain cells.

I am not saying that we should get Cousins, but Cousins is significantly better than Darnold.  Darnold throws a lot more interceptions per passing attempt, fumbles a little more, and just makes some baffling decisions.  Cousins may not win many games, but he tends not to do stupid things to lose them.  Darnold has more interceptions than starts in three of his four seasons.  

Irt Dalton, only as a backup.

Demonstrably false.  Laughably so in fact.

Over the last three years, here are their stats next to each other:

Cam - 361 / 583, 62% completion.  12 TD (2%), 16 INT (2.7%)

Minsh - 542 / 857, 63% completion.  41 TD (4.8%), 12 INT (1.4%)

More stats?  Sure.  Cam over the last three years is around 6 air yards per attempt.  TEDDY BRIDGEWATER is averaging 7.2 - Minshew the same.

Statistically, it's not even close.

When you go to league wide opinion, it's the same.  The Eagles traded a draft pick for Minshew while Cam Newton was sitting on his couch.

I'm not saying Minshew is the answer.  I'm not even really advocating we chase him.  But people who cannot see that Cam is beyond DONE aren't playing with a full deck.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
