If they come out running the ball up the middle or a swing pass, the remote is gonna hit the tv.

Quote from: Painter on December 25, 2023, 11:38:29 AMLet's see now. Which "Franchise" QB do we see having a fair shot at winning the next Super Bowl, and where was he Drafted? I suppose we might start with Josh Allen who went 7th overall, followed by Patrick Mahomes, a 10th pick, and then at 32, Lamar Jackson, the last of the 1st Rounders.I'm about 80% committed to Bo Nix. If he drops to the second round which I doubt, he should be given consideration. They may very well pass on a QB in the first round.
I guess we should then include Jalen Hurts, Rd 2(53), and Dak Prescott, Rd 4(135) and, of course, no doubt, 7th Round (262nd) pick, Brock Purdy.
Hmm! A wink is as good as a nod. Know what I mean? nudge nudge.
In any case, Our Heroes won't be looking QB in Round 1. If they are to admit their mistake, it won't be until 2025.
Cheers!

If you read it, you could see why you need to have a college education that matches your occupation:So you don't believe there's been any continuing education...

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on December 25, 2023, 09:29:38 AMIf they don't draft a QB, do you think they'll restructure Jones' contract to get that 2024 cap hit down and lock themselves in for more years?I don't.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on December 25, 2023, 09:21:15 AMTo be abundantly clear, and just speaking for myself, I am only "hell-bent" on drafting a QB if our front office legitimately believes said prospect has a strong chance of being a top end starter in this league. Otherwise I have no interest. I have said this over and over again in multiple threads. So it's only "at all costs" if Schoen and his team have done extensive due diligence, far and beyond what even the most astute fans are capable of, and the opportunity to actually get said QB is possible.I don't believe Schoen would draft a QB without 100% belief in him. He already has DJ under contract. I also don't see Mara having to bless the pick, who knows jack squat about QBs in this draft.
So actually, I won't be "very unhappy" if we don't draft a QB, because I will take that to mean our front office and scouts were not fully sold on whoever was available. Or it will mean that one wasn't available even if we liked him, as there is no guarantee any of these teams will want to trade.
What would make me unhappy is if we are very high on a QB and either don't trade for him, either because Mara gave it the kibosh, or we got sticker shock about the price and can't pull the trigger. But most likely we won't have any way of knowing any of that for sure. If Schoen wanted to do it but Mara wouldn't let him, that is not going to be public info.
