If I thought for one second that JR was willing to make a major move to get a very good vet QB to lead this team, then I'd be all over drafting Green. I'll fall out of my computer chair if JR makes that move.

It's become almost a necessity at this point.

If we can't address the position ourselves, we'll be forced to make a trade.

No way the FO is confident enough in Pickles to go into the season without another option on the roster.

JR wants the young guys to play. He thinks that the growing pains we went through last season will pay off next season. I'm worried that he was refering to Clausen (among others).

He also said that we would draft Luck.

He's not sold on Clausen.

He's also party senile imo, and might make conflicting statements, while erring on the side of saving money. I want Cam, or a very good proven vet QB to lead this team. I think JR wants to stick with Clausen at starter for next season, or possibly draft a rookie and give him a cheap contract. I hope I'm wrong about him wanting to stick with Clausen.

So for everyone wanting Cam, you wan him to come in here, with our options at receiver and Dwill possibly leaving, Smitty not working out, playing one year in college, so basically in what would be his second season in college he starts in the NFL, and as a rookie expect him to fix this team? Sounds like a fairy tale.

We will have better options at QB next year, for now we will surround them with weapons and get a vet to fill the role for a year or maybe someone we just want to try. When I say I want green I say I want him at #1 overall if we can't/won't/don't trade down. If we can get one of the top 5 prospects whoever they may be and also pick up a second rounder or more than I am all for it. I personally don't think teams will be interested or offer a whole lot.

Define fix this team. I'm expecting a losing record with Cam at QB, but he might give us a bright future. At this point I don't see how we can improve to the point of having a winning season short of spending serious $$$$$$ in FA.

We better spend an ass of money in FA, that was the point in trashing this season right? To have money to bring in talent. When I say fix this team, I mean instantly because either way we would have to get a vet or someone else to start while Cam sits and if we are already doing that we might as well get Green, have a losing season, then get a high pick for better prospects next year instead of wait 3 years while cam sits behind a vet with no weapons. This is a bit biased becasue I am really not a fan of Cam and with these risks I don't see him being #1 overall worthy.

      Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By strato · Posted

      I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
