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.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
