Yeah one is a professional QB coach looking at tape vs us fans looking at ESPN stats. I’m not saying he will be Burrow, that is obviously his ceiling, but playing style is way more Burrow than Fields.

Agree to disagree.. If you want them.. Go get them..

You have to hope Irsay gets a man-crush on Levis.  Jumping ahead of Indy to get to #3 will be too rich for my taste.  Pie-in-the-sky discount scenarios to jump all the way up from #9 is pure pipe dreaming.  Indications are the Lions are going to stick with Goff, so we will just have to get ahead of the Raiders at #6.

If he's on the table for them, then he's there for a really good reason. If he's not, then there's a really good reason. We aren't approaching this like we're trying to recruit some guy with the promise of a scholarship and a starting gig vs some SEC team. 

Right now, even if they decide that Darnold will be the starter, I'm going to go, okay... you guys know better than me.

Yep. This isn't the group of idiots who ran the team before.....well the team led by an idiot Rhule.

This is a team of coaches and a staff that has at least a hundred more years of pro experience than rhules staff of hacks. 

These guys have experience and poo tons of knowledge and a lot of success behind them. They know what they're doing.

I understand wanting to get a discount.. But if you want the guy you pay what you need to.. Jmo I think Stroud and Young are worth the price to play.. So go get them and leave no risk..

I feel the  same. Year after year we spend capital on scrubs or we just play it safe. Could of moved up a couple spots and got Herbert. It's time for them to pinpoint and stop gambling on outcast  and develop our own.  I'm for certain veterans but we can't continue to play these games with the Qb spot. Especially  now that we have our 1st Offensive minded coach.

There absolutely is a risk and forfeiting 2024's first rounder (at minimum) is too much to ask. Moving up to #5 is much more palatable. 

Visit a trade chart and also the QB draft graveyard, then see if the risk of *no matter what* is reality or hyperbole.  I mean we can do a Ricky Williams-type trade and move all the way up to #1.  I mean, although a RB, dude was a can't miss prospect, right?

I think if/when they are sold on one or the other they will likely start trying to make moves.  I would think the staff that they have put together along with Fitt will be aggressive if they are sold on the QBs. 

It may be a very fun couple of months leading up to the draft.

No risk in getting your guy.. The whole thing is a risk but giving up picks for a QB you have conviction in is the price to play in this situation… Sorry but fug next years 1st if I get my QB..  Expectations are that pick will be in the 20 anyway…

Spoken like playing with house money.  Yes, absolutely there is a risk and NONE of these guys close to a sure thing.  It would sad, but this board will be crying the blues if we move up, dude looks middling-to-bad and next year's QB class is loaded while we are forced to watch helplessly without a first rounder.

And we'd know right away that Josh McCown managed to convince Frank to keep Sam around for a bit, given their past relationship.

 

At the same time, though, I just have a feeling we will sign another Vet.   

 

But as you stated, no matter what they decide to do, at least they'll be smarter than Rhule.  lol 

(well okay that's not what you exactly stated but you get my point)

Not playing with House money at all.. Just willing to take a shot and JMo Stroud and Young are worth taking the shot for.. 

Also we said the same thing last year about this years QB class so we can keep saying the same thing every year that next year class is worth taking the shot but at some point you have to take the shot.. 

Also I don’t understand how anybody here thinks with better coaching and this roster.. We will be anywhere close to getting Maye or Williams anyway… We will probably be a better team and have to give up more next year to get them.. ??? So why is that even a thought??

You have to take a risk at some point! Each year they say the next group of qbs are going to be better but by the time the media pundits and draft gurus nitpick, you are left with only 2 guys with hype usually. It never failed it seems. If Frank and crew see they guy THEY want and agree on it... go get him...

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
