Of the current backup QBs in the league...

Wtf? No Billy Volek. If our FO is going to put next season on the line with a 100 year old qb do you think they would pick a career backup or someone who was a successful starter to lead the team?

Come on. Yet people talk about the supporters of drafting a QB like their clueless morons lol.

Kolb is below average and way too expensive. I didn't see Flynn play, so i don't know. And Hanie only played what a half, and threw 2 picks? No thanks.

Again if were going to go this route and expecting to pluck a QB from another team, it has to be someone who's been a starter and hasn't poo the bed doing so.

I do think we need another QB for competetion and I cannot defend the play of Clausen,but I think some thought should be given to how Matt Moore was so much better the year before coupled with the sucess of our running game the year before versus last year.I think at least some of our demise was in the play and personal of our offensive line.We let Vincent go which I thought was huge and then lost Otah and so on and so on.Other differances in blocking was the loss of Moose and Hoover who were both good blockers

All I am saying the first thing we all do is look at the QB when everything goes to poo when we may be overlooking a big part of the problem.

I hope Moore turns out to be a good back-up, but that is all that can realistically be expected of him at this point. The reality is Moore had only 4 good games in his career. These games just happened to be at the end of the season in 2009 and everyone got hopeful (including myself). He looked as bad, if not worse than Clausen last year. He had the same deer in the headlights look and that is unacceptable for a 5th year guy.

If we go QB in the draft and it appears we are going that direction, we will have to grab a vet from somewhere to fill the void for New QB or Clausen to get up to speed. I really don't like any of the options unless Orton somehow is released (doubtful). Palmer is not going to happen and Kolb would be great but two first rounder is ridiculous. Why do people say he is bad? The Eagles throw the ball more than any team in the NFL and they traded away a top QB because they believed in Kolb.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
