Honestly, at QB right now I've been pounding the drum that we use the draft to take our next back-up QB and save the position for a stronger QB class next season. Use the first round pick on the best offensive lineman available at the time and move on. We need to make a pick that is good for the life of the franchise, coach not-withstanding.

And as to that QB I'd take. Grab Bailey Zappe in the late rounds. He holds the NCAA records for most yards passing in a season AND broke Joe Burrow's record for most TDs in a season. He wasn't at one of the big programs, so he won't be going near the top, but he will be going. He has the "it" factor that makes for a winning QB -- around here, you'd call it the 2003 Delhomme vibe. He's also shown massive improvement each season, at different programs and different coaches. He can be coached, and that is a massively important thing.

Draft Zappe, run Darnold out to start the season, replace him with Zappe and see what we've got. If he is only fair, then we've got another high draft pick and a back-up on the cheap with some experience. We're going to need that after the next coach jettisons Darnold and PJ Walker during the Temple/Baylor purge.

I like Willis but he’s very raw, he’s a boom or bust prospect. Pickett is ready to play and there’s something very Burrow-esque about him. Seems like most people don’t like him simply because Rhule does. Corral is an unknown to me. Don’t want another veteran re-tread bridge QB at this point.

I’m sure it has nothing to do he was at the same program for his whole 5 year college career, a four year starter, and only produced relevant numbers in his 5th year.
 

Outside of his small hands him and Burrow couldn’t be further apart.

Burrow couldn’t even start at OSU. Transferred to LSU and had an ok year projecting him mid to late draft pick. Then his final year when he was similar age to Pickett, he played amazing. Burrow’s ceiling was questioned as well as he is “limited” athletically. The difference is Burrow when undefeated in a tough SEC and won it all, however he had an absolutely loaded team with a NFL roster. There are some similarities, but Burrow just has that “it” factor where he refuses to lose. He even adjusted his throwing motion/stance to increase velocity this past offseason in the NFL. Burrow reminds me of Brady where he is going to do what it takes to get better and win every game he can. I’m not sure if Pickett is wired that way or not…

I mean…a little strange to prop up the Colts/Irsay considering the Wentz trade was even more of a colossal bust than Darnold when you factor in what they traded away. That trade actually made me grateful we only gave up a 2nd and 4th instead of the 1st and 3rd for Wentz, who couldn’t even beat Jacksonville to take them into the playoffs…and then gets shipped off again after one year. Irsay is so very brave to mildly criticize Wentz after trading him away.

You’re allowed to whine about the team without feeling the need to prop up a steaming pile of garbage in comparison.

Not propping anyone up. The Colts are miles ahead of the Panthers at this point though. We were swept by the NFCE (lol) who are we to judge? If you want to take that out on me tee off I guess. Thanks for the input pal.

I agree with your assessment. However you could argue that in the SEC Burrow was also playing against teams who had similar squads stacked like NFL rosters. Not to mention unlike Pickett, Burrow was a two year starter at LSU and had to change programs. That convinces me that Burrow has that “it” factor and that Pickett may have been a man amongst boys in his fifth year.

To be fair, and I'm not trying to tie them together in any way as I think Burrow is much better...

But he didn't "have" to transfer, he did because he couldn't win...he chose to transfer, and it paid dividends.

Every QB in the draft has a higher ceiling than Sam Darnold. I can’t believe people still think he’s good, or even worthy of playing. 

Does anyone? I can't think of anybody here that thinks he's good. Would they rather the team "tank" with him so we can get a better prospect next season? Yes.

I beg of them to take the best DE/OT/DT/OG at 6, then wait til next year and take the franchise QB in a much better draft

 

You guys will bitch because you all have the patience of a 2 year old, but it's the best direction for the team

Of course some still think he could be good. Kyle Allen had his little fan club too. If there's one thing that some in this fanbase love it's a shitty QB who carries himself to their set standards.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
