2 year 20 million for Heinicke? Good pass. We should pick up an old vet who is cheap. Our rookie will clearly be starting so no need to spend money on a backup, just a vet presence will do

 

The market is all over the place. $8M for Winston after the Saints just signed Carr was a head scratcher as well. Then this on the opposite end.

"The days of a traditional pocket passer are over" - Frank Reich.

"You need a mobile quarterback that can make plays when the pocket breaks down" - Frank Reich 

"You need a leader at the position that can elevate the play of others around him, someone others will respect and play hard for." - Frank Reich 

There's a lot more clues if you care to listen to the man. Doesn't mean Richardson is that guy.   Just saying there are clues as to what he's looking for if you listen to what he's actually saying instead of what you want to hear.

 

I do not like this talk at all honestly.

I'd much prefer a player to be able to play under center, not in the gun all the time.

AR can't throw, Young has to play in the gun, Stoud seems like the best pure passer, but doesn't make a lot of plays with his legs.

Gimme the passer.

Dalton, Minshew, Mariota or Rush for FAs...cheaper QBs that can easily be relegated to the clipboard later in the year.

Would a 6th/7th get Foles from Indy? $3.5M in '23 and a FA after the season.

We need to spend our money on other areas if we're drafting a QB that should start at some point this year. Jacoby & Wentz will cost more, which is less $$ for WR/TE/RB.

Those first two paragraphs, it is in the wording. Is that quote totally in context? I saw Reich comment on the game changing and pocket passers and he did not exactly say it was over in so many words, he said it more like it was heading in that direction. Which seems to be true.

 I also think he said something to the effect of there will always be a place for a great passer? Less sure of the wording on that one. 

That last thing about elevating and leadership is absolutely true. That is the ideal. 
 

They are down the rabbit hole now. They have hamstrung the offense as a whole in favor of diverting all the resources towards. Decision was made. They did not just sacrifice future resources, they sacrificed current proven talent. 
He will Have to elevate the play of the players around him. Or fail. 


I am really excited about the amusement potential here, btw.

 Add all this up: 

We have a good OL. We have a QB to protect. Psychologically. Don’t wanna ruin his confidence.
But we are slack as hell at receiving talent. Where is a Smitty, Shockey, Olsen?  No Chud either. 
We’ll have Foreman and Hubbard and someone else, probably.  

You know what that probably means? Might look a lot like Wilks ball😂

Tender PJ Walker? I mean I wouldn't really want to do it but he's cheap and won't care about sitting behind whoever we draft. It feels like a waste of cap space signing a higher profile QB to sit behind whoever we draft.

PJ Walker is terrible, he can't be here next year.

If our rook goes down with an injury, I’d rather start Corral and see what he’s got instead of some over the hill clipboard holder. I don’t really see the value of this magical vet QB some people are suddenly obsessed with.

Same.  If our rookie goes down, start Corral. 

If Corral is great, we can trade him in a year or two and recover some capital.

If Corral is "ok", we have our forever backup.

If he's terrible, he's no different than 80% of the college QB's who enter the NFL.

      a tip of the cap to the Special Juan

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
