Is drafting a QB the plan now?

I wish ESPN or NFL Network would bring back the old Gruden's Rookie QB Camp show. That would be a great thing to have this year's class go through. Obviously, you'd need a new host... Maybe Dilfer?

Mariucci (sp?) does a good job too.

Here is what we know--we are going to a "run first" offense.  A QB that can run is a plus.   I can see where a disciplined, dual threat rookie might be effective, but it is a huge gamble.  I look at Fields in Chicago--same dynamic, but the Bears did not have the pieces in place.  We just might.
I wish I knew more about it, but this could be the best situation to start a young, inexperienced, dual threat QB.

Willis is raw as hell which makes me think they won’t draft him if rhule is indeed on the hot seat. Pray they don’t draft pickett.

I think Tepper is going to decide the QB position since Rhule botched it so much. I don’t know if that’s good or bad…

high character too

That’s such a big part of it. If you get a humble, high character person with great work ethic that is oozing talent/potential it seems like a high chance of working if the right players are around him (which we are kind of doing now). 
Roll out with Cam the first few games with a couple plays for Willis (thinking zone reads, short check downs to get him comfortable). Start working him into the offense more as he develops and we can run a power running offense with play action (imagine his arm on play action), lean on our defense and maybe win some games.

do it

I feel that Liberty QB Malik Willis will be something really special in a few years. The team willing or able to wait while he adjusts to the  NFL will be greatly rewarded.

I would love for that team to be the Panthers but I will be surprised if it is because they don't seem the  type team that would be willing to wait.

Nah bring back Gruden and cancel the idiotic cancel culture

There’s not a QB in this class that helps Rhule win now which is what he will need to do to save his job.

It’ll probably be Minshew or Jimmy G leading the offense which is whatever… but on the other hand, drafting Cross, Ekwonu, or Neal at six and having a line of… Cross/Ekwonu/Neal - Christensen - Bozeman - Corbett - Moton is something to be excited about.

Assuming his job is in jeopardy, of course. Which I don't think it is and especially after this FA. But that's just my opinion.

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
