Drafting a QB is a total crap shoot according to a Hall of Fame QB.

Thanks for sharing these links - great insight.  

Yeah np - I think most of us appreciate thoughtful analyses and there's a few out there on this.

I was very sure QBs busted more than anyone else yesterday and decided I'd see if my suspicions were right and turns out it is nowhere near that simple.

For a league that makes big changes every offseason.... i think its hard to find a true formula to success.

There's no one formula that is the only thing that works, but even the Rams drafted a QB very high and rode him to the SB. Sure they then built a roster the most unorthodox way ever after to win, but still.  Hard to argue they didn't have success with their first rounder.

Risk is mitigated via scale.

If I were Fitt or any GM and needed a QB, I'd trade back (in addition to a high pick, if warranted) to accumulate extra picks and grab a handful of QBs and let the cream rise. If there is none, rinse and repeat until it does.

There's no good reason not to have several rookies in competition with each other if you don't have a QB imho. Shed the chaff, keep the seed and nourish it properly.

I don't think this makes a lot of sense. Very few QBs outside the first round work well... Better to try our luck at a first round prospect we like and try again if it doesn't work out.

A.  This has never been done before

b.  The trade back strategy is more then likely dependent on the qb class.  It’s rarer that teams trade a kings ransom for a non qb.

Seems good in theory.

Then you’re actually a coach / GM (not an armchair fan) and realize there’s not enough reps to go around in practice.

He's not wrong. 

Doesn't matter where you take him, it's going to be a risk. There are no safe bets. Not much better off taking him in the top 5 picks than you are in the second half of the first round.

Won't know what you got until you see them play at the pro level. 

Total crap shoot. No one knows if Richardson in the first or Cam Ward on day 3 can get it done. Pretty much none of these guys are in a "pro style" system and some guys get it right away, some guys look good for 4-5 games and get figured out. Kyler Murray even made it almost 3 years before imploding. I wonder about how many guys that never saw the field that could have been great players exist

The Redskins did this when drafting RG3 and Cousins in the same draft. Crazy that Cousins was the 4th rounder and RG3 was the first. Also crazy they let Cousins go.

Keep in mind, rabid Panther fans, that the Panthers have 2 second rounders that would allow them to move up 3-5 spots in the draft (from#8).

We are drafting a QB.

 

Or we could take the best DE/TE/MLB in the draft at 8 and then have two shots at picking a QB in the second round. Heck, take two of them, let them fight it out.

This will not be popular, and I feel a little gross, but I’m in it to win it as they say.

(The Obvious): In this offseason we should lock up the o-line whatever it takes.  Extend Foreman(nothin crazy). Bring some size back to the front 7.  
 

(The Plan): With these moves we can reinforce our identity as a “run the ball/stop the run” team.  With the only glaring hole being QB1.

 

(The Yucky Part): Who (available) could step into that situation and immediately make this team a SB contender before taking a snap?

TB12

It’s gross, but depending on the HC situation it is a good fit.

 

I want that fuging trophy.

Zach Wilson more than likely prompted this tweet but honestly I feel like there is some truth to it.

There are so many factors that go into being a franchise guy that there is no easy check list. If finding a franchise guy is easy then there would be 32 franchise guys in the league.

That being said I agree with Fitt that you have to keep swinging till you find one.

What say ye huddle?

You didn't know this? It's why I say we take Mayer and Hyatt and see what we have in Corral and a new coaching staff before we go drafting yet another QB who isn't Stroud or Young. Furthermore you can take a guy like Purdy and make him serviceable when you have a TEAM around them

run the ball offense doesnt work in the modern nfl consistently.  The rules are set up for a passing/scoring style offense

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
