I know we invested heavily into the quarterback position this year. But I still think it would be amazing if we got Harbaugh and picked up Luck with the first pick and were able to keep the two together. Honestly I don't have much faith in Jimmy Clausen, but Luck is a specimen. What do you think?

Conventional wisdom would agree with you, that it would be unwise to throw a 2nd round pick away. But I think our situation is a bit different. Jimmy Clausen was drafted because he ran a similiar offensive system at Notre Dame, but when we hire a new coach all that sort of goes out the window. Not only that, we don't have a lot of money invested in Clausen. We have a chance to get a freak in Andrew Luck, if we have that opportunity I take it.

If we get #1 pick and Luck is available and no defensive players have really separated themselves, we might draft him. If you have the #1, you can't always go with need if the top player is that much better.

I doubt we'll have the #1, though, and I doubt Luck will be up when we pick.

If we got the #1 pick, why wouldn't Luck be available?

      Nussmeier shows all the qualities, but has a really bad game here and there. Sellers is raw, we will see how things play out.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By frankw · Posted

      Well let's be realistic here. He could have taken one look at Bryce Young on tape and known what he was getting. As JackieLee stated his work with QB's like Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield is a big contributing factor in why he was hired. At the same time we also have to recognize other factors. Seemingly and realistically he was the only one seriously considering the job. And as far as "fixing" Bryce Young goes one entire staff has already gotten the axe over him. Frank Reich was vilified as possibly the worst head coaching hire ever. 2 years later the more we see of Bryce the more it looks like he was the problem. Right now we are at a true crossroads. We cannot just play out the season with Young and be a serious franchise. We have to try and see what we have in the young roster and firmly get some sort of look at Canales offense. At this point Dave Canales needs to earn the right to draft his own QB. So far he has developed bupkis at the most important position. And he and Dan Morgan made the decision to not give Bryce Young one iota of competition for the third year in a row. He cannot claim the cupboards are bare beyond his control.
