None of the scouting reports ive seen question his arm strength, in fact they all say hes got a cannon, now his mechanics and footwork? Awful.

Watch him play. He doesn't have a cannon.

He most definitely doesn't have a cannon. I'd say maybe slightly above average (and that might be a stretch).

I do think he has good touch on his throws and did a pretty good job throwing with anticipation to a bunch of JAG receivers Baylor had. 

His mechanics probably need to be rebuilt - footwork is god awful on many of his throws.

His peak is a reliable QB2, his floor is never being heard from again in a few years

I don’t understand the infatuation with Green. Robertson is a much better QB

He's everything Bryce isnt

5th round

[MHS831]

4th is early--5th maybe?  It depends on the run of QBs on day 3--there usually is one.  However, he could drop lower.  I think it is a given that the Panthers like him, so if anyone else does, it could improve his stock.  

1 month away--I am taking Friday (April 24) off work.  They'll understand.

Just start throwing the darts.  We have two 5th round picks.  

No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

Anyone they take in this draft will never challenge Young for the starting role. If you want someone to do that then it will have to come from next year's draft. Anyone taken in this draft will be lucky to make the practice squad.

I'm not speaking about this QB room alone. This needs to be a policy. I've said before as much as I despise Belichek, he always worked on developing a QB2 that was capable of being a QB1. Brady, Cassel, Jimmy G, all backups that became starters for NE or elsewhere.

Personally, I'm not a fan of just having a "backup". Every player is one injury away from ending their career. I would much rather be proactive than reactive with the most important position on the field.

Taking late round flyers on qbs is the definition of trying to challenge your backup. If you seriously want to get a backup to challenge your current starter you take one in the first round.

We're in a unique position where our starting QB is at the bottom end of the league in performance. A backup like Brisset last year would have challenged Bryce for the starting role, hell, he might have taken it given how he performed last year. He wouldn't have challenged a Mahomes or a Burrow, but the need of a QB2 with the potential to be a long term QB1 if need be is now pretty apparent after significant injuries derailed their respective seasons. 

After we've established our long term starting QB, keep trying to develop a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Don't want to end up in KC or Cinci situation.

Your dreaming. None of those guys you mentioned were signed to challenge anyone. Young would smoke Brissett in a qb competition. Get real dude.

Been saying it for years now. Would rather have tried it that way than trading ti the 1.1.

Its better just to stay put and take one that falls to you than trade up. If you are drafting in the top 10 you take a qb unless your starter was out due to injury. Even then you probably should take one anyway. Rinse and repeat until you have a franchise guy and his replacement on the roster.

Brissett  3366 yards 23/8 41.2 QBR in 14 games, starting 12. 

Bryce 3011 23/11 47.6 QBR starting 16 games. 

Let's not pretend Bryce was a dominant force at the QB position. 

And I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying about getting a QB2 with the potential to be a QB 1. None of those QBs were taken to be a QB1, but they became that anyway when given the opportunity. Develop a QB2 and develop him into a QB that could be a QB1. If he does and you end up trading him as a potential starter to another team for a 1st or 2nd, great. If you keep him, great. Either way, he's still an asset to the team. There's nothing wrong with developing assets.
