Dan Orlovsky believes Maye and Williams are better than anyone this class

It’s just the same cycle over and over. You don’t know where you are picking two drafts from now. If a QB is on the board and you feel good about him, you go get him. You don’t keep waiting one more year and one more year. Every now and again those can’t miss guys decide to go back for a senior season and then you are waiting another year. And by then there’s tons of roster turnover and your team is worse off for it.

I will say that if Stroud and Young are gone when we pick, but Anderson, Jalen Carter, or Myles Murphy is there, you go with that then do what it takes to grab your next favorite QB.

But you do what you can to get a QB. You don't leave the draft without spending a lot of resources to pick up the best QB you can.

Young is too little much like the Op said. It's the NFL. That's scary. There are 6'6" 320 lb men flying around. Cam was 6'5" 250ish at times.

I watched Brees take hits and Russell Wilson take  big hits.

 

and both of those guys missed less time to injury in this league than Big Cam, Luck, and Wentz.

If you can take a hit, you can take hit.  And Bryce like Wilson using his feet well to maneuver around

Don't make this more complicated than it has to be. This isn't last year's draft class where there's not a draftable 1st round QB. There's 4 QB's that should be 1st round picks this year. Find the one you think can develop into a franchise QB and let's start to build a winner.

Yeah it's hypothetical/situational, but for the relevant past few drafts-

2018-Passed on Lamar for DJ, the narrative was Cam was still healthy, expected to stay the guy but the shoulder and foot injuries messed all that up. 

2019-There wasn't a guy, took Brian Burns

2020-Missed out on Herbert, didn't take a chance on Hurts in the 2nd

2021-Passed on Fields because Sam was our "rookie QB"-ultimately the dumbest decision and quite likely because they had to pretend like they knew what they were doing. I at the time would have forgiven that stupid trade if they had just taken the QB when they had the chance, could have saved that 5th year option money as well

2022-There wasn't a guy and couldn't pass up Ickey

Fitt made some decent FA moves but yeah. It was too murky behind the scenes with Rhule and all the bad trades, bad Robbie extension, Donte contract wasn't great seeing what Rasul and Gilmore signed for, etc..He might stay around if next year is deemed a cleaning the slate kinda year. 2024 is when the cap and draft is wide open for a new HC and GM

I'm not against drafting Myles Murphy and bringing in a Levis or Young if we can package picks and move up. This is a value draft like last one.

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
