I know he is a little raw. But he has the height and arm strength to make the necessary throws. I think with some time and development he could be (or will be) a starting QB (somewhere). Should we invest resources into seeing what he's got? I'm tired of watching Clausen getting his passes batted down, missing wide open WR's, and ether checking down/throwing the ball away every play.

OR

Do we draft another QB. One that has great arm strength and raw talent but no consistent accuracy? Or one that might have the size, but prefers to run 1st/pass later and also has off the field issues?

Is there a QB in the draft that can be a potential Franchise QB down the road?

I'm so torn by this news of Luck that the #1 Overall pick is going to be a toss up. Who knows who we draft?

Honestly after the wounds of recent heal, I hate to say this, but Pickles could turn out OK for our system. I know he missed some wide open passes, but he was on his back on just about every play. Give him some time in the pocket before we write him off.

Pike, I think he played ok when we seen him. I honestly think he played the best out of all of them this year. What gets me is the one game that he played the 4th quarter or whatever, he moved the ball well. But Fox basically said he sucked and he didn't play him after that.

I'm not sure what plays out, but lets just hang in there with a new coach and see if that helps.

Im totally for signing Palmer or Mcnabb when they get cut and having Pike and Clausen behind either one...Pike is tall, has a hell of an arm...He just wasnt given a chance at all with Fox...

As of right now, neither of those guys are available. Lewis said he is sticking with Palmer, and Shanahan is saying they are going to try to mend the wounds with McNabb.

That's how I feel. I think with some good coaching and a fair shot, that Pike might be able to develop into a good QB. He has all the intangibles, he just needs the reps and game experience to polish them.

      I'm salty every time I see someones mid picks become stars while we throw first and second rounders over and over and they all stink outside of Tet (who still has a lot to prove, imo)

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      There is a contingent that is total Bryce but they weathervane with the wind. When the good Bryce wind blows about once or twice a month we hear a lot from them. But they are always pro Bryce, they just don’t pipe up too much when he sucks. I can’t speak for them, as far as what they are looking at.    In a second contingent, the collective mind is made up. He has had had basically three years worth of starts that might include a top tier outing or two, a few second tier outings, offset by about the same number of bottom tier outings which actually may have the edge there.  The rest of his stuff is third tier and that is going to be the bulk of his starts. We want to move on. And we aren’t getting off of that hill until he puts us off of it. He has not.    There is a third contingent that has no conviction and definitely weather vanes. Bryce is good. Bryce isn’t good. Depending on the latest game. They will buy into 7 on 7 success so that should tell you something.
