I feel very strongly about this... Derek Carr.

[Icege]

Some possible UFA QB options if Carr and Lamar hit free agency:

• Lamar Jackson
• Derek Carr
• Jimmy Garoppolo
• Sam Darnold
• Jacoby Brissett
• Geno Smith
• Mike White
• Cooper Rush
• Baker Mayfield
• Gardner Minshew?

Starting to accept the increasing possibility of Sam returning to start for one more season and/or the team moving up for a passer. If the Saints land Carr, Lamar stays in Bmore, Geno stays in Seattle, and JimmyG reunites with McDaniels that's going to leave Jacoby Brissett or back-ups Mayfield, White, Rush, and Minshew. Not exactly the most inspiring group... 

I think that if nobody trades up with Chicago for the #1 overall pick we could see Carolina make a move to slide up to #3 for whoever is left between Stroud and Young. If they're confident enough in their scouting + coaching, maybe they stay put and take who remains between Levis and Richardson.

Phew... this offseason seems even more stressful than what we've experienced lately.

Does he fit with what Reich wants in a QB?

One of my biggest issues with Reich is he did the exact same thing as Rhule, in respect to QB’s, with the Colts. 
 

I really hope he brings in offense staff that can find the right gem among the stones, and build an offense around them here. Offensive coaches, even good offensive coaches are a dime a dozen around the league. Real, good coaches. Not so much.

But I still say f no. You have to look at if this QB can go head to head with Hurts and Mahomes (if going that far) and pick apart SF type defenses, with Vikings and Cowboys in the long run in order to make it all the way and Carr can’t do that.

What about what Matt Stafford did last year?

Thought he wanted someone more mobile, could do RPO stuff.   ??

What Reich primarily wants (at least from what he said so far) is accuracy, intelligence and good footwork.

He considers mobility a plus, especially given the way quarterbacks are trending these days, but stated that a quarterback has to be able to win "from the pocket".

NO! FUGGGG THE RETREADS!!!!!

I’d prefer him over reaching for a QB in this draft. Especially since Corrals tape looks better than most that may be available at our pick.

Have you seen the tape on Richardson and Levi’s. Corral doesn’t look too bad from his college tape after seeing those break downs from JT. If you are so pressed to get a QB don’t be biased in your evaluation. My opinion is mine to think and to share. Until something happens don’t post a contradicting statement someone can reference back to when your “hot take” looks like hot garbage.

From what I have heard, Reich has on 3 separate occasions wanted Carr on the Colts team.  I think he would make Carr a MVP candidate.

Yes, but what is his win loss record? 40-33-1. Way better than Rhule that is for sure. I have a feeling Reich was the right fit for us. Now the defense I am starting to worry about.

FWIW LP, he did win a Superbowl with Nick effing Foles, and still ran a ton of RPO.

I don't necessarily think I'd judge whether I want to avoid anything based on the fact that Matt Rule failed at it.

That'd negate an awful lot of stuff

I’m willing to give Reich a season, maybe two. But he sure he’s have a lot of the same earmarks as Rhule.
