Our Next QB: The Qualifiers


 Share

Recommended Posts

We are here.  We have arrived at this moment.  

So, where are we at? Me (and I really don't think this is too much to ask)

Non-Negotiables

  • Hits baseline mass/strength/body type standards of a pro-QB (i.e. at least the avg 6'1 215) - sorry Kyler, Russ
  • Above Average (at minimum) arm strength 
  • Pocket proficiency: Well-refined mechanics & pro-level footwork
  • Can effectively run a QB sneak
  • Can attempt half-time ending prayer shots
  • Functional Speed/Quickness
  • Awareness (Particularly pre-snap) 

Negotiables:

  • Strengths in intermediate/second level throws 
  • FA vs. Rookie - just find the guys you like, multiple/a competition would be fine
  • Mobility-type - doesn't need to be a runner (I.E. Hurts, Daniels), he just needs to have the combination of speed and size to utilize 
  • Pro-level scheme knowledge/experience - if he has the tools, you can develop with the right guys around you.  Allen didn't have this, Mahomes not much.  

Who's eliminated:

Bryce, Kyler, Russ, Nuss

Who's Not:

FA: Howell (baseline FA), Levis, Lance, Pickett, Stidham, Mariota...yuck, but you get the picture

Draft: Simpson, Mendoza, D Moore, Maiava

 

this is where we are...

Bring in a vet like Mariota and a developmental player like Lance, doesnt have to be those guys just putting names out. Would be cool with like a Jameis, Howell type situation too. We also have to draft at least one.

They need to have a serious plan for QB for next season, This poo needs to end. We dont have to go all in on a QB but at least jettison these trash tier guys and get some NFL arms on the team.

The Rams with their two 1sts will likely package and take Mendoza

Put a pin in this. I just can't until I know the team is ready to move on. Did you see their approach to QB this year? More of that would be a 6th ir 7th pick while saying something about Purdy just so they can roll Young out another year. 

Looks nice but it's an overwhelming amount of hope given what is still in front of us all.

Bryce young is under contract next year. He will be the starting quarterback in 2026. You can count on it

If he's on the field, the fan base will start to turn on the organization. He's got to be cut, in no way shape or form should he even be involved in the QB room next year and if he is, that's a slap in the face of all the fans that buy tickets and merch

    • too old, too expensive and would take draft capital
    • I saw the list, agree Minshew would be on the list of possible guys as well as the rest of the list.  Mac Jones would probably be the highest possible target though that would require a trade. All that said, heres a darkhorse that I wouldnt be surprised...Carson Wentz.  I know he looked rough his last time out, however he was clearly pretty dangerously injured and kept playing through it.  When he was healthy in Minnesota he looked pretty fricken good.  Last full season he started he threw for 3500, 27td, 7 INT.  He did start the next season for a washington team running a scheme that does not fit him.  I think the things that Canales is looking for his QB to do, that Wentz does well.   Wentz however with his age would not be any kind of long term solution, a decent backup but more like actual competition would be needed to go into the season.  
    • This reads as someone trying to suggest changes while treading lightly so Daddy Tepper doesn’t come down too hard on them.  Because flatly, the problem is Bryce.  I don’t think Canales is a perfect coach, but you can see the limitations in what can be called, what is called, and the amount of times Bryce fugs up plays all by himself.  Someone brought up the bootlegs being useless because there is always a free defender rushing - think about how different that play looks with a 6’2”+ QB with a strong arm and mobility.  I can’t count the number of times Bryce has thrown and missed bc he can’t see, it gets deflected, he chucks it away, or his patented run and fumble just on bootlegs and roll outs.  By percentage of those plays per player I have ever watched, Bryce has more negative plays WITHOUT A fuging DOUBT than anyone I have ever watched before.  Like an uncanny ability to fug up the simplest of things.  I have never seen anything like it.  And then, as I mentioned in the other thread, when you string those seemingly one-off plays together, and those stack over the course of a game, poo looks really disjointed.  It is Bryce.  Enough of this nebulous ass “something’s afoot!” bullshit.
