Lamar is a great player and person and teammate.  But giving up draft picks AND guaranteeing a quarter Billion is the way to concrete over the top of our deepening grave.  We are finally on the right path of having some talent and getting a head coach to develop a QB and have a decent stockpile of draft picks.  Work with what we have and keep building.  Avoid shortcuts.  

I would rather have one of the promising rookies this year on a rookie deal for the next 4 or 5 seasons than a Lamar Jackson type who is probably gonna cost 45 mil a year.

Not happening. Look at what Reich has said he wants….A QB who will win from the pocket but be able to move. That isn’t Lamar and wasn’t Cam. Stroud, Young? Yes. Lamar? No. There are two, possibly three generational QBs in this draft. Position the team to get one of them.

How many times are you going to make this thread?

Lamar isn't good enough. If he was good enough the Ravens would have locked him down already.

Yikes!

 

I guess winning MVP's is no longer good enough. Just like Cam he had a elite TE and not much else. Lamar was the Ravens offense.

 

You sure have a high bar. What is good enough for you?

Yeah keep what we have and keep building...

 

Where has that gotten us?

 

At some point people need to realize you need a franchise QB. Waiting does nothing but waste time. 3 years and people still saying wait and be patient.lol

I'm pretty sure people suggesting last year that we trade for Russell Wilson were using similar logic.

When you win MVP's this is the kind of money you get.

 

Not every QB is Tom Brady who had a wife who was way richer than him. Brady could afford paycuts. Other QB's not so much. 

 

Kirk Cousins...

Reich has 0 SB's. We need a franchise QB not a QB Reich wants.

    • How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole 
    • Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
