Starting QB

You should go back to not posting at all. 

Of course, that's always the answer for some of you guys on here.  Everybody has to feel the same way y'all do. Guess what, it don't work that way with me. I guess a few of y'all can make new topics, and the rest of us should just sit back and read? Most of y'all didn't want Reich either! So your opinion means nothing to me, I'm old enough to have my own.

All yall keep riding the "its only preseason" wave. Our OL consistency and depth is a HUGE problem. I never once said I didn't think Young was capable of being a starting caliber QB, or quite possibly a franchise type QB. All I said was I think we went QB a year to early. Time will tell... 

Let's try to at least wait September out until we begin saying that our O-line consistency and depth are "HUGE" problems. Hell, I'd say give it four or five games. Ickey is still very young, as are a few of the guys, and, like it or not, it takes time to knock the rust off.

And you would have been front and center doing it. Just because I don't post a lot doesn't mean I don't pay attention. 

Not posting a lot apparently means you don't know much about me.

I'm never a big reactor to preseason. Heck, I've actually been criticized for it 😄

I haven't seen enough from Bryce to be worried. I haven't seen anything to be excited about either. I have seen enough from the OL to be concerned though. They've looked awful. We'll see what the staff and team has up their sleeves once the regular season starts. I'm concerned but far from losing hope.

Well said. Corral is a cheap developmental QB who has some potential.  Best case scenario is they both turn out great and we flip the lesser for some good picks. 

 

But, yesterday all the Huddle experts were telling us that Corall is not worth keeping at all. They used how badly he looked in the first game but basically ignored how well he played in the second one. Typical for the Huddle. Most only want to discuss their agendas not others.

 

Man, if Bryce plays well tonight things could get ugly real quick. I can't wait.

SO we drafted our QB of the future, like some of yall wanted. After a few preseason games are any of you worried we picked the wrong QB? Or do any of you guys think we should have kept what we had and drafted help to protect a QB? I will say, I like Young as a QB, but I truly believe we drafted a QB 1 year too early. Hopefully I end being wrong, but we had other positions to sure up before QB. And so far, the OL is getting our QBs killed! Same problem we have had the last several years is still looking like a problem. THOUGHTS? 

I think we should've traded down and drafted guys like Zach Charbonnet, O'Cyrus Torrance, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson. But what do I know?

I agree about trading down. I was a believer in guys like Hooker, Darnell Washington or Tank Bigsby around the 3rd rd.

Mods need to start locking these dumbass threads, we have thousands others to complain in.

Why do they need to be locked? Any criticism of Bryce gets you a one week ban. Now you can't even criticize the decision to trade up in the first place? Cheese and rice man, what a time to be alive.

Pairing Hurst with a guy like Washington, to go along with Charbonnet at running back and his college teammate in DTR (5th round pick btw), at QB behind a road grading offensive line would've been nasty. Add in a guy like Mingo who should, with his size, be a blocking god and you'd have one hell of a running football team.

But, Tepper wants to throw the ball. Too bad we don't have the team to do that right now.

Yeah, let's revert back to a running team and be like Atl. Maybe we can fight each other for last place. 

 

We finally have a team ready to join the modern NFL, and now we have fans wanting to return to the running game?  Hot damm I love this place I tell ya what.

We beat the Detroit Lions last year with a punishing running game and a road grading offensive line. We had the Bucs on the ropes. The only reason we even went .500 to close the season was because Wilks made a concerted decision to protect the offensive line and run the football using D'Onta Foreman and pass off of the play action opportunities that created. 

So yes, call me old fashioned but when you have lemons, you make lemonade. Our offensive line isn't built to drop back 40 times a game or pass protect from the shotgun 60% of the time like the Cardinals have been doing with Kyler. 

Perhaps you don't remember but our offensive line was a "strong point" coming into the season because of what we saw last year. What no one, including the pundits, took into account was that we went from a true West Coast offense to what effectively was a Power I situation mid-season which made the offensive line seem much better than it was at pass protection. Now we go back to a pass heavy West Coast look and we get the same poo we saw early on in 2022. 

In effect, we have lemons but need to make chili. Sure, you want it a little spicy, but you ain't got the ingredients.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
