Your solution for the QB situation?

[AU-panther]

 

I saw a tweet by someone we all appreciate and it got me thinking of what might be our realistic options to address the QB position.

Lets assume sticking with Darnold isn't an option.  I just don't see Rhule hitching his job to him. 

How are you hoping we address the QB situation this year.  I'll add some specifics to the trades and a few extra choices to the above tweet:

1.  Deshaun Watson for at least three 1st round picks?

2.  Jimmy G for this years 5th and next years 2nd + LT@6

3.  Kenny Pickett at 6, BC at LT, maybe FA guard.

4.  Willis at 6, BC at LT, maybe FA guard.

5.  FA QB (Mariota, Minshew, Winston, ETC) + LT@6

6.  Trade down to around 15, draft QB (Howell, Ridder, or Correl), use newly acquired 2nd round pick on an IOL, and let BC play LT.

Considering we have few options, we have a lot of options. Going to be interesting how all of the pieces fall.

Option 5 would be my first choice. Then option 2.

I like how teams see another team drag a QB to the super bowl and think he is the reason they went to said super bowl. 
Jimm G is another freaking Bridgewater.

So what route are you going?

Option 5 seems like the safest route long term.

Fix the O-Line and roll with Sam this year. Then re-evaluate and adjust.

The QB situation won't be resolved this season, and I'm terrified by the prospect of us trying way too hard to do so.

I think option 5 is the best, provided we don't overpay someone for too long.  Almost all of the available FA QBs are better than Darnold at least.  And option 5 doesn't require us to to give up players or picks.

#6 would be my choice and I'd still sign another free agent IOL.

Nothing this season.  Next offseason is when they should go all in on someone, assuming we have a new regime. This current crew will just screw it up anyway so I'm with standing pat.

Do you really think a coach that is on the hot seat is going to put his future into Sam's hands?

Although a lot of us would like that option there is a reason that I specifically said it wasn't an option for this post.

As of right now there are no good routes. Feels like we are equally screwed no matter what we do. 
The most positive would be to get an OL at 6. Get a vet to compete with Darnold. Trade away the farm to build for the future and brace for a very bad 2022 season. 
Unfortunately Rhule doesn’t have the luxury to do any of that. So we will probably do a lot of dumbass win now decisions. 
I like Malik Willis and if Rhule wasn’t here I would love him as a project. 
I don’t trust Rhule.

Well then you weren't really asking, "Your solution for the QB situation?" then, were you?

You asked what I would do, not Rhule. What he will do is fu k it up worse than it is now.
