I just don't want us drafting him with our first round pick. I don't want to use that on a gamble. Anywhere else, welcome to the team. Don't think you'll be a success, but not many picks are.

Drafting a QB is going to be a gamble unless we have the worst record or a rare year there is a Burrow/Luck/Lawrence sitting there. Cam was a gamble, Mahomes was a gamble, Allen was a gamble. If you are confident in your staff and what they can do for that particular player you take the gamble. One first round pick isn’t going to kill our franchise. If it hits we have a chance to compete for 10 plus years.

Those big casinos aren't built on winners, they're built on idiots who say gamble big.

And the billionaires that built them had someone gamble big in their family to make it big. Bezos, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs all gambled big on themselves. We could play this game all day…

Because gambling smart is better 

The “smart” gamble would be an opinion that only our staff is going to weigh in on. One first round pick for Player B at 9 who they believe they can develop, signing Carr for X amount against the salary cap, or trading up and losing X amount of assets for Player A. One isn’t really “gambling smart” vs the others IMO. It’s easier to bounce back if you miss on Player B at 9 than the others, but there is probably more risk. Just weighing out positives vs negatives.

    • Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.  
    • height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.   
    • People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
