The debate comes down to what is better: Big contract and grab a sure thing with Rodgers or Carr or give up draft picks and grab a young stud QB that will be on a smaller contract for years. 
 

I have no idea what is a better option

sure thing carr or rodgers.  Da fug you talking about?

Once again; Fields dropped to where he did and the entire class last year dropped further than any media led us onto believe. Obviously this class is different but it’s been proven that media vs front offices do share different perspectives. What good does it do for Reich and Fitt to come out say we really trade everything for Stroud or anyone?

You are still taking a chance and hoping a QB will fall and if the FO believes that the QB they want will not fall to them. Then they trade up. 
I would rather they be able to stay at 9 and get a QB but I have a feeling that the QBs are gonna go fast.

With Fitt's comments about now maybe being the time to go up and get their guy because they don't plan on picking in the top 10 anymore, the chances of a trade are extremely high. The only question is how high do they go and when do they make the trade.

He made a comment about deciding which way they want to go (draft or FA) in the weeks following the combine and leading up to FA, to give them a clearer picture of what they do in FA (bridge or starting QB). This suggests they could try and get the trade done in the next couple of weeks.

That was a 6 1st round QB draft and not as many QB hungry teams and a stronger crop of FA QB’s.. This isn’t the same thing or same situation.. 

Jmo.. You can’t trust that Seattle nor AtL won’t take QB’s (both in front of us).. The Raiders are confirmed opp’s (also in front of us) and now that Washington, Tampa or NO isn’t ready to trade everything to get infront of us.. Reality check Half the league has recognized they need a QB and this has become musical chairs.. Who ends of without a chair will be determined by aggression to get your guy..

And to be in reality.. 

Most of the media told you last years QB class wasn’t good and most if not all had the QB’s last year graded as 2nd and 3rd round talent at best.. 
 

YOU chose not to read between the lines and recognize the true feelings on last years QB class…

what GIF

Sure would have been nice to have traded Burns for those two firsts and second round picks now.

shocked gasp GIF by VH1

How does those worst division wins feel now? Should have tanked.

Season 2 What GIF by Friends

Just wait until next year. It's a better QB class.

Just take BPA at 9 and save the future picks.

Did I miss anything?

Some of those things are true though?  If Burns was traded we would have plenty of ammo to move up and it not hurt nearly as much.  If we hadnt won pointless games we wouldnt have to try to to begin with.

Yes they are a sure thing. Whether they are worth the contract is the debate. 

Sure of what??? Again..

1 of them makes you sure that you won’t be competing for Super Bowls and the other could retire and become a Game show host or Indiana Jones half way thru the season…

Neither of the top FA QB’s this year is a “sure thing” jmo..

If these QBs are as good as advertised.  It won’t matter.  Half the people would do anything to have one of the top 5 QBs in the NFL.  To have their “Josh Allen or Joe Burrow” here.

I believe these QBs are as good as advertised.  

We got coaches comparing Players certain Player to Joe Burrow

 

We got national guys like Daniel Jeremiah saying Stroud had one of the best throwing sessions he’s seen at the combine 


 

and for the “they get hype every year crowd”

Hardly anyone had Willis Top 30 prior to the Pro days.  Heck Daniel Jeremiah who is one of the more glued in guys.  The only QB he had too 25 was Pickett at 24.  He had his first big board come out Last Month.  And 4 QBs were in his top 13 overall prospects.

I know @Vergewho if you have been around here long enough , know that she’s good stuff and has her connection’s.  She has 3 QBs in this class graded higher than she had Fields coming out.  There are several other national guys who have echoed this.

 

additonal to add to these guys.

pretty cool thing linking the cognitive scores to success in the NFL 

 


Purdy had the highest score in that category among the guys in his class and even higher than Trey Lance.

Mahomes, Allen, Bree’s, and the top guys also had top scores in this.  
The QBs in this draft class are among the highest they’ve graded.


 

we need to trade up and get one of these guys. We’ve spent the last 4 years “building the roster” which is about 2 years longer than the avg NFL team before getting a QB.  We’ve spent high draft capital and hit on those picks at the biggest foundation pieces in this sport outside the QB.  It’s how we dam near won the division with Sam Darnold and PJ Walker at QB.  Even after the division got a head start on us until we fired that Moron of a HC.

We kicked ourselves for not trading up for a QB the other year from a school that traditionally fails at producing good QBs, a guy who didn’t win a Heisman, nor win a championship.   But we kicked ourselves a year later for missing on him despite when the draft was here.  No one wanted him.  And espy to trade up for him.

 

it’s time to trade up now.  If not we could really be setting ourselves up for some pain where you capped your ceiling.  Drafting the 20’s.  Not good enough to get over the top because a mid to bad QB.  And to far back to go get your QB.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
