That concern has always been present for me.

I think we'll know their intentions if they once again forego drafting a young QB to develop. With all the resources we have spent to make this team competitive there should be no justifiable reason not to add another young talent to the most consequential position on the field.

Well, for QB next year, we have this year to look at Bryce. Again. He is starting and they aren’t working on alternatives. 

 As of now he is starting this year. 100%, barring injury. They got someone they think can run the offense for backup. To challenge Andy lol. Their intentions are, we have another year of Bryce. 

I don’t need them to force it and waste a pick on a QB especially if they believe next year looks way better. 
So that being the case, in my mind, unless someone they love just falls to us later in the draft I don’t know that I care if they take someone this year, just to take someone. I wouldn’t object, I just don’t think it is something to prioritize. 
 

We are just in that place where he needs to turn the corner, and running out of corners fast. If he truly stinks it up this year or doesn’t show clear progress, I have to trust them to see it.

Kenny Pickett like Andy Dalton before him has no future here.

If Bryce isn't the answer then we have to use our first on a QB next year. And if we already have one young QB on the roster that seems like a plus to me. Then he and the next one can compete and make one another better. We have got to stop this coddling nonsense all around. Competition is a good thing and makes everyone better. Leave the feelings at the door. It's a business.

Well we should be at a crossroads like, about right now. I say show your stuff enough to win us a bunch of games. 17 games I want to see the QB play really well at least 13 or 14 of those games to accept that he is legit going forward. But I don’t get to say. 
 

I am not saying no to a young QB I am just not wanting to do it to prove some point. He needs to be legit as well as far as potential or why are we doing it?

I just don't think it's fair to all the other guys on the roster nor is it logical to have the only other option on the roster be Kenny Pickett. For better or worse the FO is going all in this season. I mean if we're being realistic what are the odds that Bryce Young just suddenly stops playing awful football at the beginning of the season after 3 consecutive years of doing so and now about 50 games worth of tape under his belt? Even 50/50 seems highly optimistic wouldn't you say? I don't see adding a mid round QB with potential as proving a point I see it as operating like a smart football team for a change. And because of that I feel it's unlikely to happen so I'll be quite surprised if they actually do it. We'll see.

You don't draft a mid round Qb with potential to stick him on the practice squad. He needs reps and that's gonna come as QB2. It's Bryce and KP or bust. I feel like we're playing roulette trying to outsmart the house. Maybe we win big, but the odds aren't in our favor.

I had other QBs I was interested in and had no interest in Picket. Don’t ask me I can’t explain it. 
I will say if the team is good enough to win with Bryce it is probably good enough to win with Picket. 🤷‍♂️

      I hope he finds his lane in year 2.  Now that we signed Walker, I'm really intrigued how Dan feels about the DL. Is there a piece there in R1 that presents value/BPA and fills a void for one of the spots w/ DB and Wharton.  I'll give Wharton another year to show us why he was signed here. With A'Shawn gone, I don't think BBIII is it.  Our edges are set and our LBs are balanced. Horn/Mike Jack and Moehrig will hold the secondary together. DB is, well...DB.  However, I think this is an area that is the biggest question mark right now. I see 1 of 3 spots that are locked and loaded for us. If we move to a 4 down front, I assume Phillips would slide down to be the additional linemen, but we still have questions about the other two spots in either scheme.  I'd feel better with a tradeback, but I do wonder how McDonald would do here. Maybe Woods....but McDonald really does peek my interest.  Or, can Jackson take that next step. The coaching staff speaks highly of him for what little he played. Here's hoping he stays healthy and comes into TC with something to prove. There's a spot to be taken, here's hoping he takes it.

      Not many people talking about DT, but we have a need.  (DE)  Now this guy is a NT like Brown III

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      But is it about letting Bryce develop or about winning games? Bryce has not been good enough to be an uncontested starter. He just hasn't. How many times has last drive Bryce shown up for 4 entire quarters? Once in 3 seasons? You aren't going to win 9 or 10 one score games every season year in and year out. You may want Bryce in the last 2 minutes. I want that Bryce the full 60.  No one is saying you have to give up on him, but bringing in another QB that can do anything is not hindering Bryce. It helps the team and that's where the focus needs to be. If drafting Sadiq to plague the middle of the field would help out offense, but Bryce struggles to get pass into the middle of the field, is Sadiq a bad pick? Or could he be a good pick with a better option at QB? We can't be afraid to improve. QB, TE, OL, LB, DL, CB, S. It doesn't matter. The goal is SBs, not 5 to 8 years seeing waiting to see if Bryce can develop while the rest of the league keeps passing us by.  Sadiq is a nice option, but I think we have to address tackle if one we like is there because we are painfully thin after this year, a LB to general the field, and a true ball hawking safety that can set the tone in the secondary. Those 3 positions are bigger game changers than a TE that will likely struggle to make a round 1 impact in this offense.
