Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

I'd listen. Shedeur Sanders has Raiders written all over him IMO. 

yeah, i'm thinking that as well. seems like a right fit. 

giants i guess are going to be in on the discussion as well, but tbh i don't see them as an organization that would be pushing for that #1 pick. 

i feel like Ward seems like a realistic option for us. i just don't know if we're going to be wanting to risk a QB at #1 again so soon.

so how about this....if we're sitting there at 1 and the raiders (who are obviously looking for a QB) come knocking offering to trade for 1, would you do it knowing that they'd likely be taking Ward?

No way in hell the raiders take ward over sanders

I think the Panthers take the QB if they have #1 again. There's no vet that might be in free agency worth a big contract and the team needs a starting quality QB. That means drafting one. Plus, none of the college edge rushers have proven to be worth the top pick either.

A QB in the 1st round isn’t a risk, it’s an almost mathematical prerequisite for finding a franchise QB. Yes they can turn out bad but so can the LB or S that people are going to clamor for.

I think Ward has all the potential and is in the conversation to be #1 QB. He's got the physical tools, he has faced adversity from no name college to Miami, he's put up the stats, has won games coming playing from behind. I think he just needs to play well in the playoffs and big time games. He is very similar to Cam Newton in regards to his college career. If Miami wins the championship, I think you have to draft him #1 overall.

I wouldn't call Washington State exactly "no name college". They're not powerhouse but they're a solid program.

Thats definitely been a strength of this team the coast few years.

Tepper loves a project QB.

A project is fine. A pack of them has been an issuenfor sure.

I just think most rookie QBs are projects at this point, some can start and others need to sit But you won't really know until they get in and start working with a professional crew vs the part time gig as a student athlete.

    • Yep - honestly though, I thought his coverage was as good as you could possibly do on a man coverage crossing route with Dak having all day to throw. Dak made a perfect throw and if it wasn't in front of Pickens, it could have easily been picked off. Seemed like we ran more man than I have seen our defense run so far this year. Defense also did a great job of playing their gap/zone responsibilities (even if Dak did pick apart our zone a good chunk of the game) - that screen play on the last drive could easily have gone for a touchdown if Moehrig didn't play his zone and make a great tackle. Biggest complaint about Evero was not blitzing a few more times (especially when Dallas was in the red zone). The few times we did it, Dak didn't look comfortable.
    • There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon. 
    • People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
