Draft a QB but sit him a year?

[Squirrel]

Yes or no

[chknwing]

depends on what the oline consists of.  if its decent, play him. if not sit him.

[Krovvy]

The only quarterbacks worthwhile are Burrow and Tua. The rest are all risks that will cost too much to draft. Cincinnati will draft Burrow, no matter what, and the Dolphins or the Chargers will trade up for Tua.

It just makes more sense to roll with Cam, or wait until next year to find a new quarterback.

Yep

Why not just draft a bunch of linemen and develop them so when we pick the top rated QB in 2021, we have protection ready.

I'd be okay with Love in the 2nd.  No QB worth the 7th pick will be available

If it’s Tua or Burrow somehow then yes. Otherwise I say tank for Trevor next year and then sit him for a year behind a vet while we continue the rebuild around him, and then completely dominate in 2022 and on...

Tua could be but it would be a risk with his health. Also don’t rule out trading up with Detroit to get him. It wouldn’t take all that much draft capital.

Yeah I don’t really expect to get a new franchise QB this year unless it’s one of those two which is unlikely. If we’re not committing to Cam though I’d trade him and get something and then sign a vet or roll with Allen so we can lose some games for Trevor this year.

[LinvilleGorge]

Who's starting? If you take a QB in the 1st it wouldn't surprise me if Cam demanded a trade. You'd also be creating a sticky lockerroom situation for the new staff to have to navigate as many of them also make the transition from college to the NFL.

This is the correct answer
