The Next QB...

...should be a placeholder.

By that I mean a veteran guy who can shepherd the team temporarily while a high draft pick (hopefully first round via trade) develops and learns the pro game, ala the Steve McNair approach.

There's nobody I've seen in free agency that interests me as a QB of the future. I'd much rather draft that guy and then let someone else take the reins only until he's ready, however long that takes (hopefully not more than a year or so).

Honestly, I could see using Josh McCown in that role. Possibly even Matt Moore if he starts and shows something, though Moore is more likely to be kept or not kept on a "pass/fail" system if he actually gets any playing time.

Now, if Matt Moore actually shows that he can be the QB of the future, then by all means keep him. Given our situation though (beat up team, low morale, tough closing schedule) it's hard for me to imagine that scenario playing out.

So in the end, my suggestion for next year would be a high draft pick and a placeholder veteran.

Other suggestions...Go :sosp:

I have not seen anything from either of them that suggests it's a good idea. At that point, I'd rather just keep Jake because at least he looks funny after he throws interceptions.

I'd say.. mayyyybe Feeley because I haven't seen him play here. But, really, it'd be ideal to aquire a veteran that's currently not on the team.

Either way, throwing a rookie to the wolves is pretty stupid, and I agree with what you're saying.

Pennington, McCown, Volek.

I can probably think of a few others, but those come to mind.

We need a QB that can play for two years, and train the one in the wings.

Personally I like Chad P. depending on if he can still play. He is very smart, a true "pro", and likely can be had for cheap. I have been screaming this for a long time, and all I hear is "weak arm" and "can't run the offense" but that is all BS.

i agree with this.

try moore out the rest of the season and see what we have. if he works out, awesome. if not...just don't re-sign him in the off season.

draft someone early and let him sit and learn/watch. let him get mentored by mccown and jake (who will still probably be here and play the good soldier role).

go into next year with mccown as the starter.

i'd prefer that jake be gone because there are too many players/coaches who will still have emotional ties to him so it would be hard for mccown and/or the new guy to get a really fair shake.

Troy Smith. I'm seriously going to ride this guy's nuts until they fall off, he has all the skills you want in a pro QB he's just short. He could honestly be the QB of the future and while he wouldn't be the next elite QB he will be good enough to win us games, and taht's what matters.

Jason campbell.

QB in the 2nd or 3rd round.

/thread

I haven't seen enough good out of Campbell to make me think he's a QB of the future. And he doesn't qualify under 'trusted veteran' either.

The free agent pack is pretty grim. Best hope for a placeholder probably comes from a veteran release.

Pipe Dream: The Jags draft The Golden Calf of Bristol and release David Garrard.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
