I can see the point:  if you're a prideful alpha male, who wants to sign on to giving up your job to a kid?  Very few pay well enough to do that!

If our rookie is ready to rock, let them start.  Cam had a LOT to learn, but still came out kicking butt his rookie year.  The bridge QB sounds like a nice luxury, but I think it's up to the coaching staff to earn their paychecks and prep that first player to come out and win.

If Josh McCown wasn’t our QB coach I’d be a lot more concerned about this. Literally who could we have better than McCown for this job?

If anything, it gives us the liberty to look for a second promising guy as a backup. The idea is finding a guy who can win when #1 goes down.  We don't need a bridge, we need a capable backup.   

So, if we're not paying top backup prices like Miami and Atl just did, and if we're considering the Drew Locks of the world, might as well take a late shot at a Haener or Tune in the 5th-6th. Could only benefit at this point.

A veteran back up QB who has field experience is also worth their weight in gold sitting on the bench beside the young starting QB. Second set of eyes, someone to keep them on an even keel when they game gets tough, someone who can tell the diva receiver to  back off or step up.

Honestly, this is where you need a Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Anderson. Hopefully McCown can handle it, but still...

I'm not sure why the coaching staff wants to dump Matt Corral.  He could be the bridge qb.  the new staff hasnt even seen him yet.

The guy who has never taken a meaningful snap in the NFL and has spent the entirety of his career on IR is not the guy I want showing the new guy the ropes.

If we go with a Dalton I would argue it knocks out any shot we draft Richardson, which is fine with me. I think with Young/Stroud you just need a guy with a lot of experience, comfortable with the knowledge of what his role is, and could potentially start a game or two max.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
