Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

QB's are a total coin flip. Ward can be a mega bust. He could also be another Josh Allen. We don't know. Nobody knows. Same with Josh Allen in his draft. Zero NFL teams can accurately evaluate college QB's. Maybe only the Packers, or maybe they got lucky with Rodgers and Love. 

Do I think we are in position to flip the coin again with this roster? Nope. But I also can't be mad at Dan for flipping it. A franchise QB cures a lot of ills. Almost every NFL team would trade their entire defense for Mahomes. As good as TJ Watt and the Steelers unit is, they would trade every single starter for Mahomes if offered. Same with the 49ers even though they have Purdy.

Morgan will get fired if he doesn't find Tepper a franchise QB within the next year or so anyway. He knows that.

Ideal scenario for me....we get the #1 pick and trade back with the Raiders to get #8 or so and take Cam there.  We should also get a 2nd and 3rd for 2025 and their 1st round pick in 2026.  Draft defense for the rest of 2025 draft and use the 2026 1st rounder to draft BPA.

One problem Cam won't be available at #8. He's going to be the 2nd QB off the board. Raiders want Sanders tho, that I agree with.

No, trading 5 premium players for an all-time bust has landed us where we are today.

That and just generally poor drafting. 

Yeah taking Cam Ward top 5 isn't over drafting lol. Theres not even a clear cut top 5 edge rusher which would/should be the only other consideration

Nope wrong again.  Just give up man you don’t know what you are talking about 

I lived in Colorado during Allen's college career at Wyoming so pretty much every Wyoming game was televised for me and I'm telling you, I've never seen anyine who has improved so dramatically as a passer. You could see the athleticism in college. You could see the cannon arm. But the accuracy was just dreadful. I mean, WILDLY inaccurate. I honestly didn't think it was possible for someone to improve as much as a passer as Allen did. In terms of actual play and not just judging traits, Ward is in a completely different universe as a college QB than Josh Allen was.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
