Just thought I'd share an article from The Sporting News paid service.

Sorry if its too long for some of you.

Some don't like Cosell; but, I'll give him this, he did pick the Cardinals to beat the Panthers and explained why.

At some point, this franchise needs a franchise QB and we will go no further until we do.

2003 was 6 years ago.

I hope when we do get a "franchise QB" that he is as immobile as possible and can put up gaudy passing stats. I want a 6'5 240 lb statue a la Drew Bledsoe that can see over the line and make his reads and will never leave the pocket where he could get hurt cuz QBs never get hurt standing in the pocket. I bet you if Pittsburgh would've had a QB that didnt try to make plays with his feet and use his athleticism and consistently put up fancy passing stats they would've won the Super Bowl. Oh wait! :D

I read that Gruden likes The Golden Calf of Bristol. Very big man, loves to run. Fox should love him.

Jake doesn't exactly leave the pocket either. He is no threat when the pocket collapses to do anything except go down or fumble.

You know the point the article was trying to make and IMHO, its makes it well.

If it from a paid service we can leave it here. Just post the link.

It sure does. My post was pure sarcasm. The thing I like most about your article is that it compares 2 different QBs with 2 different styles. Both had success last year, but the more athletic improvisational "sandlot" QB won the big game. This is in stark contrast to our "old school" philosophy that a QB can only being one thing.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
