Canales and Mike White

Banking your hopes on a couch FA that has a cup of tea NFL career to date as an almost 31 year old QB is certainly something. Especially when you consider that he has spent literally zero time in our offense so far.

I think that White might be solid competition and possibly be better than Hendon Hooker, which is certainly a very low bar to clear. 

That's probably about where the level is for White. He's a potential upgrade to our PS QB.

For real. Where is Brian St. Pierre when you need him? He is probably still looking for his arm that fell off after one game with Foxy.

If things go south for us in the 2nd half of the season I wouldn't mind seeing Hooker.  Dude has a big arm and is somewhat mobile.  Maybe under Canales he has learned something.

I just don't think Dalton is going to get us anywhere.  We need to run the ball against Buffalo and keep the Bills offense off the field.

Replacing Youngs production wont be a big challenge. Just keep handing it off.

Right now we have four teams in front of us likely to take a qb (Jets, Dolphins, Browns, Raiders) and about three (Mendoza IU, Moore UO, Simpson Bama) good looking prospects. I guess we could take one from the second tier (Sellers USC, Beck UM, Nussmeir LSU) with our second pick.  White does nothing for our long term need at the position.

I would disagree about how many "good" QB's are in this draft. Not really one I would say that is worth investing draft capital on a QB in the first three rounds. 

We will see closer to the draft.

Mayfield was #1 overall and brought the Browns to the playoffs.

This is glossed over so easily.  He took the Browns to the playoffs.  Is it any wonder that once he got to a competent organization he’s playing at an MVP level?

You are talking about a tanking scenario. That's not really what I would think we would want to end the year on with the morale actually being pretty good for the first time in a while, so it seems.

Hooker will definitely assure that no more close games or wins happen.

Yes. Morgan and Canales are too far in to tank. They have to show progression. And to finish 5-12 or 6-11 after starting 4-3 will almost certainly get them fired. Hooker gives you very little chance to win.

IDK if they will get fired but it would be a bad look. I do think Tepper will give DC until mid-next year to get results acceptable to him, whatever the fug that might be.
