If we don't draft a qb in the next draft, the fan base is likely to riot.  

You mean the huddle will do it’s usual we didn’t draft a QB this year thing.
 

I swear, most of these “fans” only care about the draft. And judging by the success rate for recent 1st round QB’s I’ll take a hard pass.

Personally, I would draft a qb this year.  Yeah, the bust potential is high, but you have to take the risk, because the difficulty level of trying to win without a good qb is very very high.  Only two teams in the last 20 years or so have won a sb without a good qb (Broncos and Eagles).  

With a draftee and Corral in camp, we have two players with at least some potential to starter and be good.  Of course, the odds are still against us, but with the right coach, who knows.

If not drafting in the first round, what would be your ideal route out of the QB doldrums?

I have no clue. We haven’t had and still do not have any clear route to a solid generational starting QB. Of course who Tepper decides on as coach will play a huge roll. I’m just not one to say let’s tank everything for the first pick. Which the chances of the pick being a good QB is in the single digits.

Fair enough.

The bust has been what we’ve been dealing with Rhule for the past few years. He’s been so to speak betting his mortgage on a 2-7. I don’t watch college so I don’t know the potential of these quarterbacks. I’m more so speaking to the incessant nature of the huddle. Even in prime Cam years everyone’s just want a new shiny QB each year.

In some ways, there is an advantage to judging a college football qb without being a fan of college football.  Gives one a bit more objectivity.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
