His points are valid. But at some point a team drafting that high has to go after a qb. If they are constantly drafting in the top 10 it's most likely due to not having a good qb. 

I completely agree that this draft doesn't have a clear cut leader at the position and agree there is too much talent ahead of them to take one at 6. Trading down is a pipe dream unless you forgo taking a LT or edge rusher in hopes of getting a qb further down in the draft.  

My hope is they take bpa between LT or edge rusher. Then if they want one of these qbs they figure out how to trade up for one without giving away next year's picks. Good luck with that.

His son is on our coaching staff so this is actually interesting coming from him 

I don't think the father of our "assistant QBs coach" has any impact at all on what our team is going to do.

The fact that we passed on the available QBs in last year's draft, tells me they shouldn't be drafting any of these QBs at 6.  So that leaves LT and edge. 

Of course this is based on logic. 

Logic may not come into play with our pick, although I pray it does.

He makes great points.  Hate him all you want but he backs up his argument 

Paraphrasing here to encapsulate his point, 'in 25 years only 8 first round QBs played through their 12th season, 78% of them were projected as ELITE QB prospects.'   Sure, injury played into some of that, but thinking drafting a first round QB that sets the organization up for the decade is almost a pipe dream.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
