The only thing I know for certain is that Houston would have taken him number one overall had Davis Mills not won on a miracle TD throw. Would have saved us from ourselves 

Only reason people keep saying that is because Hou HC went to Alabama. 

The HC himself said he didn't need to trade to #1 because he knew the Panthers was NOT taking the QB they wanted and this was before the draft when the Panthers got cute and thought they could get Hou to trade with them... Tepper even said so 

Also after the trade up to #1 there was plenty of people that wanted CJ over Young it became a big thing was even polls and CJ was winning but like said once it became clear it would be Young most just tried to get onboard and hope for the best.

Yea but you don't need to trade multiple 1st round picks to move up.  We could have easily lost more games by letting Rhule continue.  We should have taken on the chin and drafted someone at 9.  The trade is ridiculous.  Giving up all of that to roll the dice on a QB is insane, because there's another QB dice roll built into the return we gave up.  We could have easily secured the #1 selection without Bryce last season.

The 49ers did what they did because they have a stacked roster that's got a limited window.  That's a different situation.  We have no window.  The frame isn't even up.

The 2024 pick being the first was a result of us failing after the trade was made. At the time of the trade, what Chicago was wanting wasn’t that bad IMO. We navigated it poorly and then stumbled into the season with no clue what we were doing.

Ryans still won’t say Stroud was his top QB in that draft. If he was, why not say it now? He went back to Young and Stroud were the top 2 QBs in that draft. Also we were willing to move up to 2 for Stroud, but they knew we would take Young at 1? Seems like a bold gamble for a QB that wanted and thought was best in the draft. Now we have Ian claiming most teams had Young at 1. It appears Houston preferred Young, but we’re happy staying at 2 for Stroud and trading for Anderson.

There is literally not one thing Bryce does better than CJ

Bryce is supposedly a playmaker… the amount of plays CJ extended last season and made things happen while Bryce just stood there and let himself get hit a lot more than he needed to

Thats why Dave is harping on this 2.7 seconds crap. If nothing is there in 2.7 seconds then move. This isn’t Bama, Bryce

It's funny looking back because I remember the Levis rumors before the trade and we all hated it. He was probably the guy had we stayed put.

i have no problem with the move up. There was a strong chance the top QBs would all be gone and I don't think we could afford to just sit and pray.

More my style... not Levis in particular, but the assets from trading back added to the non spent trade up assets, it is a really different picture. Plus you might not be compelled to take WRs high two years running, with DJ on the roster.

And you have a decent shot in Levis.

I'm holding out hope that it was some combination of our OL and coaching because Reich didn't even try to play him that way. He was sold as this Russell Wilson type but they had him just standing in the pocket throwing dinks all season (the thing Wilson's worst at, whaddyaknow...)

He beat him in a head to head matchup. I think that would count as something he does better

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
