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.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
