The bust potential on AR is just too high to take at #1

Imagine giving up 2 first round picks, 2 second round picks and your WR1 for Goff.

 

We gave up 1 first rd pick.

Yeah but we didn't hire him because he's kind of an idiot.

He claims he declined, don’t know if he’s telling truth or not.

I was but AR's potential has me in doubt.lol

 

I would hate to see him land in Seattle getting coached up playing with a WR like Metcalf. I think he has the highest potential of any of the QB's. There is also a chance he can bust.

Depending on the smell of the fart on that particular day, look out for WhoCamstan to be flip flopping

Good points, but stroud or young could bust too, every pick is a risk.

Just a tough decision man. I would probably be fine with either of the 3 Stroud/Young/AR.

 

 

I would give the staff the benefit of the doubt for those 3. If they take Levis I will doubt the decision

It's really not that hard

AR isn't starting as a rookie week 1 for anyone, Dalton signed here knowing he was coming in as the backup and mentor to the draft pick.

Dalton also isn't a mobile QB, if we had any interest in actually drafting AR we would have signed someone else, signing Dalton was the clearest sign that it's either Stroud or Young possible.

If it was Young why not sign a short backup Qb and get a HC and QB coach that were also short NFL QB's? Bryce requires a completely different playbook than any of those guys are used to

Seriously? One pro day doesn’t trump hours of game tape. AR is a huge gamble we can’t afford to take.

Do you even realize who Cam backup QB's were for most his career?

 

Didn't Dalton backup Fields or vice versa just a few years ago?

 

Trey Lance and Jimmy G were also different QB's...

 

 

 

 

Dalton signed with the Bears expecting to be the starter as they didn't have a high pick, they then traded up for Fields and still started Dalton the first few weeks until he got hurt.  Dalton has also said he knows he's here to be a backup and mentor, he knows he's not starting week 1.

Jimmy G wasn't brought in to be Lance's mentor, they drafted Lance with the intention of letting Jimmy play out that first year and let Lance learn to take over in year 2, which they did until he got hurt.

Cam was always going to be the starter from day 1 and was MILES ahead of AR in his readiness, so the backup needed to be a seasoned vet who would be ready to step in if Cam got hurt, and help him behind the scenes, not on the field as much.

If the plan was AR, you sign one of the better QBs and more mobile than Dalton, like a Brissett, Two Gloves or even Heinicke, because you'd be starting them probably this whole season but can still run the style offense that you're likely going to try and build around AR.  Having AR spend his rookie year learning and practicing an offense built for Andy Dalton would be a waste of a season, you want him learning the system he'll play with from day 1.

Well that's just not true, Drew Brees didn't have a special playbook because he was short, that's just nonsense.

Dalton was brought in because he's what Derek Anderson was to Cam, the seasoned vet who can step in and play if needed, but really there to help the rookie off the field in how to go about being a QB, in the film room, reading defenses, etc.  

The signing of Dalton to me was the clear signal that AR wasn't under serious consideration and that we wouldn't be trading back to #3 like some people here wanted.  Especially when he then said that he knew what his role was, that he was here to backup and support the rookie, he knows the rookie is starting week 1 and that's not going to be AR for anyone (outside of injury to the starter).

He’s gonna get a GM and coach fired

Maybe not playbook but it changes how the O-line is built, and probably how routes are ran and everything

They built their offensive line to match their scheme and, most importantly, to help Drew Brees. He’s a smaller quarterback who needs to see his passing lanes, so the Saints have always built their line with massive guards, going back to Jahri Evans, Ben Grubbs and Carl Nicks. They pair those big bodies who can keep the pocket firm with big athletic tackles who can manage the width of the pocket. The Saints have used the draft, free agency, and trades to build this unit.
