Question for those who don't wanna draft a QB

First off: I'm open to hearing what you say and not trying to start some silly argument...

Are you banking on drafting a Brantley, Barkley, or Pryor type over the next 2 years and picking up a vet this year like Volek or Bulger?

I'm asking this because when you actually put the names down on who we could hold out for, I still prefer taking Gabbert. So basically: What QB (in future drafts) are you looking at beyond this year if you don't want to draft one now?

Cheers.

We need to pick up a vet regardless of what we do in the draft this year and let him compete for the starting job.

Beyond Luck, the landscape for QB prospects in the next few years might look bleak right now but that can change quickly... Luck came out of nowhere, so it stands to reason that another guy we've never even heard of will be the "hottest prospect in the past decade" next year or the following year.

I think they are also the one's who want to see Clausen develop.. maybe they aren't looking at drafting a QB next year or the year after, either.

Just moving forward with bringing in a Vet and waiting to see if Clausen develops is a much greater risk than drafting Cam or Gabbert. In my opinion. :cool:

(Veteran + Clausen + Pike/Moore/or ???) is a GREATER risk than (Veteran + Clausen + Cam or Gabbert).

Banking on better options in the future yes, just because there are guys available doesn't mean we have to take one. Sign a vet in FA and let the current guys battle it out in camp. When there are QB's worth the pick take them then, for now fix other problems.

This makes sense and its likely what Rivera & Hurney could be thinking imo. It would also lead me to believe we're gonna end up with Dareus. However, I'm getting a weird vibe that our staff thinks Gabbert is their guy.

The one guy I would actually be patient for other than Luck is Barkley. Pryor and some of the rest don't really float my boat.

And additionally, all this talk has me pretty much convinced, which took some time, that we either pick a QB in the first or not at all.

I have to say the reason i don't want a QB in the draft is because i am a oldschool type of fan. I like teams that draft and build the trenches. I love a nasty mean defense. I love a rushing attack more than the pass. I know the league is changing and soon all the teams will basically be playing arena football but i would love to see us continue to be the old guard. We went overwhelmingly offense last year in the draft and think we need to balance that out with defense, defense, defense.

Lets put it this way my ideal draft would be Patrick Peterson, Marvin Austin, Jarvis Jenkins, and John Moffit. That said i am slowly coming around to the fact that with a rookie salary cap a new QB is imminent. Of the two i like Cam.

Last year we drafted 3 WR and 2 QB. The last thing this teams needs right now is to get any younger in the passing game. Unless you just want to tank this year to and hope Luck comes out next year, he will just be a JR not a senior.

This has become a league for elite QB's... not average QB's. We need to draft a QB until we find "the one." Jimmy MIGHT be good in the future, but we should still look for a QB until we are sure. If we wait another year or two before we decide he is a bust to draft, then we have to wait another year or two for whomever we choose to develop... 5 years is way to long to wait when we could take a chance this year at #1.

I do not want to consistently find "stop gap" serviceable veteran QB's that keep us competitive. We deserve an elite talent and are almost forced to find one with the QB depth in the NFC South right now... the most likely way to find him is taking a chance on a QB #1 overall.

You are right, we may not need to get younger with our passing game, but we absolutely need to get better. With no free agency, the draft is the only way to do that right now.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
