:skep:your only choices there are Volek and Anderson and no thanks I do agree we need a vet QB. They should be able to learn the system and the coaches need to also adapt their philosophies to the talent on the team not just come with their way only.

Via free agency. Trade could net you a guy like Palmer or Garrard.

And the team didn't assemble a staff of all Coryell offense guys for nothing.

The only QB from free agency that's worth considering is McNabb and he's yet to be released. I'm not sure if that will even happen and the same goes for Palmer. If we're not going to draft a Qb or get one of those two (McNabb or Palmer) we might as well suck it up go with the same lineup from last year.

McNabb is a West Coast offense guy. Not what you want here. Ditto Matt Hasselbeck.

Palmer is overrated but he's still a better choice than about anything else available to us.

I'd happily take a chance on Garrard with Shula coaching him though (that combo looked good before).

I dont think he would have problem with learning a new offense. He's a seasoned vet. I think he just didn't have much to work with in Washington. He still can throw deep with accuracy. I'd go with Palmer based off of his past success which isnt really a good thing to do. His last game against us makes him the last choice of QB's on my list.

McNabb was bad enough to get benched last year.

I couldn't name you a single QB from a West Coast system that succeeded in another offense. Jeff Garcia looked like a king in a WCO, but stunk to high heaven in anything else.

I believe just the fact that we're straying away from Foxball will improve us greatly. Possibly even enough to succeed, even if we just have a slightly below average (opposed to horrible) qb under center.

Agree. I think the coaching change alone would improve last years team with at least a 5-11 record. That's why I dont think we'll be picking in the top 10 next year.

Sort of moving away from it.

We had a Coryell offense under Fox when Dan Henning was the coordinator. We're moving back to that kind of attack.

Davidson was a student of Charlie Weis. Weis had some Coryell influence (serving under Ray Perkins) and there are similarities in the systems, but what Davidson ran wasn't quite the same as what Henning did.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      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
