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..

    • Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.
    • You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.
    • Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
