This is a guy that would be a good option to bring in as a 3rd stringer to potentially compete in camp. 

Throwing eggs in that basket to sign as a starter for 2026 should basically get a lot of people fired for the suggestion.

My opinion has been if Shanahan can’t make them pop, then they probably won’t cut it anywhere else as a QB.  But, I believe in Lance’s physicals and was intrigued by them the year he came out.  Ultimately, I land the same place you do - my approach this offseason is the shotgun - shoot and let the pellets hit where they may.  Bring in multiple guys with the tools and/or resume and see who rises to the top.  Lance, Cousins, Jameis, see if Shedeur is available, draft a rookie, etc.

kick the tires on Tim Couch. Did he ever get a real shot?

?????

That is a good question. I quit following Cleveland back then after Ernest Byner’s fumble turned into ‘the Drive’

The average fan didn’t have near as much access to information as we do nowadays. 

As far as Lance it isn’t much different from anyone. It is on him to perform. We need somebody badly and should take a look at all options. 
The gatekeeping centers around physical attributes as being the first hurdle abs then you get into the cerebral and execution and whether or not there could be growth in a certain environment. 

It is one option, in preliminary discussions. 

I used to bet the horses. This one track, if they changed jockeys right before the race you bet that nag. And you won. Not sure how it applies but it was a cool story.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
