Should we roll the dice on....

[RumHam]

Shadeur? It literally wouldn't be any worse than this. It would gain some rep with the media. A call should be made but it won't. 

[Newtcase]

Shadeur is a lightning rod that was unable to secure a backup role at Cleveland.  Why should we roll the dice on him vs someone like Hooker who's already on the roster?  Who cares about media rep?

[Waldo]

Seems like adding more fuel to a dumpster fire.

I would rather see someone else personally. The Panthers can't handle PR well currently and that's a bad mix with Sanders. Then again let it burn I guess. 

[Jmac]

Hooker needs another shot. Bryce has had several shots and is still shooting blanks.

[PleaseCutStewart]

No, we leave Bryce out there to look like crap the rest of the year to secure a top 5 pick. In fact, I would literally just start practice squad offensive linemen so he can take a beating the rest of the year for being a terrible fuging QB

[PadresPanthersFan]

I say give Perkins or hooker a shot. They can't be any worse 

[LinvilleGorge]

Go get me Jameis or Howell. Get me a guy who has proven he can put up numbers. Forget the turnovers, we just need to see if Canales can field an offense that can produce given a QB with NFL tools. The Bryce question feels answered. Now we need to answer the Canales question.

The reality is that Shedeur has looked like ass except against our camp bodies - the camp bodies of one of if not the worst team in the league. He looked like ass against our primary backups. He didn't do anything until we were playing Amazon warehouse workers.

I would....but it looks like browns gonna turn to him soon anyway like a lot of people expected. 

[45catfan]

Nope.  Draft a 2026 QB in the top 10.

They might as well. They spent a lick on them and they're ass so give him a shot in real action. It'll at least get them press coverage for a minute which I honestly think was the primary driver of that pick to begin with.

From a fan perspective? Yeah. From the Canales/Morgan perspective? You gotta still be employed by then. I'm not sure Bryce/Dalton/Hooker gets that done. Tepper wants offense. If you bring in a vet who puts up yards and points but buries you with turnovers you've at least demonstrated that you can make your offense work with an NFL caliber QB. This current embarrassment of a poo show probably leads to another full on reset with the talent pool of people willing to come work for Tepper shrinking increasingly smaller. I mean, someone is always going to sign up for that payday but I think we're to the point that our wish lists have to start where everyone else's ends because anyone with other options is choosing the other option. That's why the thought of another reset just isn't very exciting to me. It's the front office/coaching staff equivalent of having to build a roster out of UDFAs and off the couch FAs. It's almost certainly gonna be a disaster.

You could always sit the rookie a portion of the season or all of it. The Giants sat Dart a quarter of the season, the Chiefs sat Mahommes for a while.  Just getting a vet doesn't preclude you from draft a rookie QB.  Actually, it's the smart way to go.  At #1 overall, it's tough not to roll the dude out there game 1. Outside of the top 5? You have reason to justify not throwing the rookie to the wolves.
