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.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
