If the cap mattered to them (which it doesn't), then this could cause problems for them. As it is, though, they are going to be a bigger problem for us. He's automatically the best QB in the NFCS.

wouldn't hurt.

yeah, i'm sure he would benefit from sitting and learning behind someone and probably someone that doesn't play much at all like him. find a guy who is more of a pocket passer just to help develop that part of him. but if he had to or we thought that he should be starting, i think he would still develop just fine with the coaching staff we have and, again, as long as the scheme is build around what he can and can't do well and then it grows as he grows.

i wonder which Geno Smith? the one that took 10 years to come alive or the one that we see now? as far as the levis:allen comp....maybe. i think he's almost got as much work as AR to do to gain accuracy. my least favorite of the four. probably the lowest ceiling of them and second lowest floor. he does have a future as a mayonnaise spokesman. i actually think that you could start AR day one as long as you had an offense planned around his capabilities/limitations now. same with any of these guys. and then let the program grow as they grow...but keep them growing. AR has the room for growth, probably more than the rest of them, and he's got the drive, intelligence, and work ethic to do it.

if they know who they want and want to make absolutely sure they get him, it won't take much to get the green light from the big boss man. they sell him on a star QB and he's going to ok anything they feel they need to do to get him. no more tepid tepper like we saw with him trying to get stafford.

Seems like everyone is setting in on those three as the top ones, but far from a consensus on the order. Levis seems like he's on a downward slide, though. It might just be my imagination, but I could see him taking a Brady Quinn size slide.

Dammit Juan. Title says we are interested. Tweet says we are expected to garner interest in him. And it fuggin has nothing to do with Harbaugh or Fangio. I fixed it all.

It will be one of them....and they'll be great. Levis was a hard sell for me before the combine. Now he's just a weird, cocky, and overall underwhelming but over hyped QB prospect. Accuracy was a knock on both AR and Levis. It's still a knock on Levis. Do. Not. Want.

Guy could be a glorious beast.

And just 10% body fat.

Same here. I watched that out of curiosity because I was a Luck guy and had been for a good while. I was underwhelmed the first half, but the second half and hearing how he took charge during halftime and got the team fired up, I was hooked. I will say that what I have seen from AR and what he's capable of that I get a lot of the same vibe I had from watching Cam. He's got legit superhero potential. You find a way to harness and guide it and you've got yourself one of the most exciting studs the league has seen in a while.

Keep Tremble. Replace the rest. Draft one day 2 and pick up one in FA.

Adam schefter supposedly said it, which is what the hubub was about, but there was no actual quote cited. It was all someone saying he thought he said Schefter say something, but no citing was di e. Basically it's BS.

I could see that with Rhule. Crap .... I could see that even with Rivera or Fox, especially Fox (because he really didn't like young QBd that you had to groom and develop). With the staff being put together the way it is, I really can't see us going with a QB that feels he's got no room or reason to develop and improve. We're going for a young QB that can be developed.

I don't think so and I hope not. Would be a very bad idea and a poor fit for what Reich is building. I hope y'all can unload him, though, and get Jordan Love starting. Very interested in what he could do.

He's becoming my favorite. Was the most fun to watch already and his interviews have been really impressive so far. I can tell why everyone has been impressed.

Nope.

i've been having troubles as well. added @Zod to the OP.

this. not again.

no way an LB could be smaller than 6' and be effective. *cough*51*cough*

ok....so take this into consideration when you look at the supposed market value of other FAs.

so the guys we didn't want, they picked up?

if i was hurt as frequently as he is, i'd want one too.

one thing that always gets me is looking at games as a face off between two QBs. it's never that. it's QB vs. a defense. that's it. QBs can't win games if their defense can't stop the other team from scoring. you've got to make sure you have 2 things... 1) a QB that can generate a lot of scores and 2) a defense that can keep the other QB from scoring more than what your QB can generate. the more your QB is capable of scoring, the better off you are. the more your defense is able to shut down the other QB, the better off you are. if you have both of these, you're going to win a championship.

i think this is a fair assessment. scenario 1) trade up for the #1 scenario 2) pick up Carr and trade up to 3 or 5 for QB scenario 3) pick up Carr stay at 9 and either draft the best QB available at 9 or BPA (if one of Young/Stroud/AR/Levis isn't available) and then QB (Hooker or Duggan) in later round.
