What’s the bust rate on QBs in the 2nd, 3rd and so on and so on.……..

 

 

 

 

Dont worry I already know and so do you..

Pretty high and again, I...don't...care.  FYI, busts generally only apply to first rounders...little technicality there. I want to sit out this draft--entirely--at QB, but would be okay with a slight move up for one of the top two.   You are saying the first rounders are better than 3rd rounders, up is not down and cats don't like dogs or some silly thing like that.

Higher then the bust rate of 1st round QBs but you already know that.. 

I don’t think the team is sitting out this year QB class and made the right preparations to make a swing.. So I’m cool with whatever decision they make .. 

I’m saying water is wet and fish can swim and generally 1st round QBS have more success then drafting a QB in any other round and drafting and developing your QB gives you a better chance at consistency then retreads…

We aren't solving the QB dilemma in trades or free agency. You swing when you get the chance. Reich didn't put this staff together to waste a season waiting on a QB next year. That's not how you run a franchise.

I mean it’s painfully obvious we are getting a qb this year.  I mean the staff he put together is pretty telling that is the case.   Now who it is and how we get him should be the conversation not talking about 2024 or free agency.   We are 100% drafting a guy this year.

Especially if the rumors are true that the Colts QBs weren't exactly Reich's choosing. No way he took this job to get stuck with Sam Darnold or Matt Corral. We have an owner who desperately wants a QB. We have a coach who couldn't get over the hump at his last stop because he didn't get a QB.

If we don't do something aggressive at QB I'll be shocked. I just hope we make the right call while doing it

What defines a bust?   That’s a pretty ambiguous chart

Never got a Pro Bowl nod AND started less than 50 games (roughly 3 season).  I mean losing the starting gig in 3 years should be enough, but they added no Pro Bowls and as seen this year, it's not too difficult to get to the Pro Bowl--you just can't completely suck apparently.

So if Tepper is desperate, then he'll go sign Carr to 30 million.

It's easy to say that we (or rather Tepper) will hopefully be aggressive in going after a QB.

But it's always easier said than done, especially when there really isn't anyone that is available that can fulfill that "difference-maker" moniker. 

 

If there is, then please someone (anyone) provide a list of these AVAILABLE-TO-ACQUIRE "difference-makers".    Thanks.

Well is there a difference maker for him to go after?

'Cause I'm not seeing any one listed. (Maybe I missed the post)

Jmo there are 2 in this draft and I would take a shot on a younger guy with more physical talent with this staff then 32 year old and 30 million + wanting Carr..

I was referring to ready-to-perform QBs, not rookie wet-behind-the-ear ones just coming into the league, though.

I would still go for Levi’s or Richardson with this staff over Carr… I’ve seen his calling and it’s maybe a playoff win here or there and still looking for a QB.. While paying him way more money then a rookie..

    • 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.
