True and why giving up 3 chances at a home run in favor of 1 doesn't sit well with me.

That 1 can have a bigger impact than the other 3 especially if the next two years aren’t top 10 picks. It’s Cam’s impact vs Brown/Horn/CMC plus two later 1st round picks like Shaq or Benjamin. QBs are just that valuable anymore. I know you have to still build a team around them and missing those next 2 firsts will impact that greatly. The good news is we should be able to sign FAs with a rookie pay scale QB and out cleared up cap space the next two years.

Aggressive would be to trade for the 1st overall pick and taking Richardson after you've signed Carr to a 3 year deal.  If you are going to swing, swing for the fences.

If you are investing all that money in Carr I think we would use the picks for weapons to help him excel. Drafting a QB could also piss him off. It would be VERY aggressive though!

Yeah it’s a big loss, but it’s also an opportunity to add a staff-viewed top talented QB. Something (in theory) we won’t be in a position to do for a long time assuming our staff does it’s thing. That’s unfortunately the opportunity cost.

If you think that franchise QBs can only be had in the top 3 or 5 picks.  Total fallacy.

I don’t. I think if our staff wants a top 3 talented prospect at the QB position that is the cost for it. They can hope another Mahomes or Jackson gets overlooked in a draft and they can develop that player also. I just think they are wanting to start this whole QB development process this year. Maybe they sign Carr tomorrow and this is all for nothing who knows?

Again, I am content on waiting one more year for the QB.  Bigger class (will eventually get the hype too) and the staff will have a year to gel.  I don't like this desperation being forced on this new staff. If and only IF they are sold on a guy, then I guess they can go get him.  Not because a bunch of knuckleheads with zero stakes in the game are bloviating over the internet.  Remember, Fitt's neck is on the line here.  The rest of the brand new staff may get a pass on such a colossal miss (if the guy busts) but Scott is on a borrowed time from the Rhule regime.  That's the reason...and the omission is quite obvious in posts, that "If you love a QB, you go and get him", but the second part of "BUT you had better be right" part is curiously left out most of the time.

And that opinion of waiting next year is a lot of hoping and praying and either as risky or even a bigger risk..

I definitely understand where you are coming from. I’d prefer we not use the 25 first if at all possible and maybe just move up to 3. It’s all just speculation at this point anyway.

Question is do you gamble and go to 3 if your guy may be gone.

I agree, and I am glad I am not the one making the call.  Of course, we could make the deal, but wait to pull the trigger after the first pick is made, but the other team may not be willing to wait.

      Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner.

      Luke Kuechly HC (Not Joking Faks)

      By strato · Posted

      Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
