If We Don't Go QB in the 1st Round, Who is Your QB?

grab orton if it isn't to high of a risk, 3rd rounder or fourth.......mcnabb if he's not high risk as well.

but no qb is going to do good if we dnt fix our o-line problem, it would be nice to have some o line depth like in 08. Even if we can't get orton or mcnabb,name moore back as starter as long as he isn't used as a sacrificially lamb like last year

T.J. Yates in later rounds, but a veteran has to be brought in either way. Watching the Colts play last weekend, the first thing Manning did after coming off the field was look at pics of the coverages... our QB's go sit on the bench alone, which was also a reflection on how bad the coaching was.

But as far as Clausen is concerned, his arm strength is certainly not NFL caliber and his mechanics are flawed, not to mention his leadership skills are questionable at best. Yates throws well on the run and has great touch on his deep passes, reminds me of a bigger and stronger Jake Delhomme... before his elbow problems.

Without having read all of the comments on here it looks as if they are really going to try and have Clausen be the guy.

Whether this is a good plan or holding any sort of truth is yet to be determined. I doubt from all of the indications thus far that they will be drafting one.

At least they aren't going to throw him to the curb. Of course the front office wants Clausen to succeed and hopes it is all the fault of Fox and his staff. And they hope that Clausen can get better with a good offensive staff.

But as for not drafting a QB, that is still up in the air. Rivera also said he was used to having a franchise quarterback to work with. I figure much of that is yet to worked out once he hires a OC and quarterback coach.

No doubt we need a vet, I have mentioned McNabb, Alex Smith, Troy Smith, or VY... But, what is they just bring MM back as the vet?

1.troy smith? :yikes: are u kidding? trust me, clausen is a billion times better qb than troy ever was...i know what i'm talking about.

2.vince young? what's so special about that guy? he is still a head case...

having Jimmy start again is pointless. Not simply b/c he is garbage but b/c he limits the growth/improvement/play of everyone else on offense.

Carolina has to have some one not named Clauen start week 1.

not jimmy is/was the limit on the offense, your coaches were.

Reading this thread makes me shake my head.

Mcnabb? Sorry, he isn't the guy he use to be.

Volek? Would rather ride with moore.

Any of the san fran guys? Once again, id rather ride with moore.

Orton? Not with any draft pick this year.

The reality of it is, no one in the draft is going to make an impact at qb next season.

Regardless how you feel about moore, he is still a good option, even as a backup.

As for another vet...will have to see what rivera has in mind....cause I'm sure he's not considering most of the names being thrown around in this thread.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
