Can't come up with a reasonable response to my argument so you bring up a completely irrelavent and unrelated point to try to discredit me. Desperation moves ftw.

Because I already did but you choose to ignore it. The only thing different from my proposal and RB's is that I mentioned Pike/Clausen/Moore as the #3. Here it is right in front of your face for you since you pick and choose what to read.

A good vet that can be the #2 and can pitch in when the #1 goes down is much more beneficial to the team while Pike/Clausen/maybe even Moore is the #3. Then when the vet is gone, the #3 QB can become the #2 and will, if everything goes to plan, become a younger version of the vet that just left and can also pitch in when the #1 goes down. Having a piece of sh** vet in the mix that can't play worth a damn, while taking up a roster spot, does us no good.

besides one of the biggest reasons we let go of Delhomme anyway is because if we kept him, there would be a divided locker room and would be no way this franchise could move forward with someone else under center taking charge. It would just be a huge setback to bring him back. Get over it.

My arguement had nothing to do with 3rd string, reread.

Sorry, forgot to respond to this part. I understand what you're saying about bringing in a good #2, but the question is whether or not we should bring Jake in as the #3. Sure, you're probably right that "Jake can't play" but my point is that there really aren't any 3rd string QB's who CAN play.

Ok, I did respond to the second part about the possible QB controversy. And you're right, I didn't previously address your first point, but now I just did. What you're saying makes sense and I wouldn't be opposed to bringing in a good vet as #2 (not sure who that would be though). The point I'm making is that if we're looking for a vet to be our #3, with Luck and Clausen as the #1 and the #2, then Jake isn't a bad option.

My proposal benefits the team more because it starts a cycle. Vet at QB 2 comes while QB 3 sits and learns. Vet leaves, then the #3 because the vet QB 2 while we have another young QB 3 sitting and learning.

Makes sense to me. I'm not sure the new coaching staff sends Jimmy to 3rd string though. Who are you thinking would fit this veteran #2 role?

if Harbaugh gets hired to be our coach, a guy that played QB in the nfl previously, what does Luck need someone to suck up a roster spot for to mentor him

Sure, that makes sense. But if Harbaugh isn't the coach, and there are a lot of options out there, there's a very good chance we bring in a vet. Most coaches aren't going to be comfortable with rookie Luck and 2nd year Clausen as their QB group.

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
