Draft a QB Early? Yay of Nay?


Recommended Posts

Apparently from what everyone says Bryce Young plays best under pressure.  Cant think of any more pressure than a rookie QB eyeing your starting spot.  I think its time to stop caudling Bryce and make him work for his starting role.  Let a rookie come in learn the playbook for a year and if Bryce isnt it, we hand over the reigns and not have to invest anymore future draft capital in a qb.  Personally I like Taylon Green. At 6'6 227, he is a big QB.

Nay

No point in "wasting" even a mid round pick on a QB this year in case Bryce turns into that guy for us.

And if he doesn't, I'd rather just take a shot on a QB in the 1st next year than hope we get lucky in the mid rounds this year.

If they love someone and truly think they can develop him, and are sold… okay. Don’t want to say no to that, I’d actually like to see what that looks like. 

Otherwise just recycle another of these failed higher pick FAs through a backup competition.

There should absolutely be a QB added in the mid rounds. One with the necessary ideal size and arm strength.

yeah even if Bryce doesnt pan out, which he wont, we still need a backup. Kenny shouldnt be that guy.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
