Preferred Direction at QB?

Cowherd made a good argument about QBs in round 1. They don’t have a high bust rate compared to 5 years ago because these players are spending hours upon hours in 7 on 7 camps from high school to college compared to the old days where Players literally played about 20 games before going to the NFL basically citing Gladwells 10000 hour rule.

Added with the change of nfl incorporating college aspects and instead of treating the player like a round peg in a square hole they look for what works for them. Watson, Wentz, Allen, And Mahomes all benefit from this different generation. I’ll post the video when I get a computer.

let this season burn for fields or lawrence

And just to clarify, I'm not advocating we sign Teddy, although I'm not against it.

All I'm saying is IF you move on from Cam Newton, you have the option of signing a transition QB like Keenum, or a longer term solution which is basically only Teddy of everyone expected to be available. Mariotta and Winston are you only other major options, and out of the 3 Teddy is going to best player to keep you in the game, and also mentor the guy you draft.

I don't believe in tanking, I believe you always try to win, even when you have a crap hand. There is plenty that goes wrong to thinly talented teams over the course of a season that lead to high draft picks. The worst thing you can do is hemorrhage talent chasing a unicorn and pray no one else is better at being worse than you. Because believe me, the Browns have practiced being terrible as an organization for decades, and I don't doubt for a minute they can't beat us with experience no matter how many pre-season Super Bowls they'll be allotted this year.

A bit of both to be honest. 

I've watched him than just this last season. 

I believe there is a lot to like about the guy. Smart, strong work ethic, natural leader, strong arm, accurate, mobile. 

I think those whom are against him simply haven't seen enough of him to actually have an opinion worth talking about. 

Of the top QBs, he's also the most likely to be there. 

Won't break my heart either way. 

We'll see. 

I think the question mark on his intangibles is way overblown.  He also has all the tools these guys look for.

My main issue is that he had opportunities to help put his team over the top at times and he didn't.  Didn't seem to have that winning gene that the Watsons and Newtons of the world have. 

Now it's a bit subjective on my end and maybe he's got that "take over the game" ability but I just haven't seen it.  I will conceit that some guys like Daniel Jones, Josh Allen, Cousins, & Goff had similar question marks and are working out pretty well.  Heck, even Jimmy G looked pedestrian in college for Eastern frickin Illinois but the 49ers were able to win the NFCCG with their formula.  Sure, sometimes you get someone like Gabbert, Mitch Trubiski, Darnold, etc. but I think the risk could be worth it if Tepper ships Cam.

How about we have one for a whole season?!?!

It has been a while!

Will say, I'm surprised by how many just want to roll with Allen and Grier.  I'm guessing those are the Lawrence/Fields/Newman hopeful.  

Considering how highly thought of both Tua and Herbert were going into 2019, I'm cautious in that type of scenario.  You're not just hoping to be awful but are also banking on how the college season shapes out.  That being said, I'm a big Fields fan.

I wouldn't say that I want to roll with those two guys next year.  More like that's how I expect it to shake out.  And as for as the hopefulness of getting a QB in either draft that can turn it around I am lacking any.  I do not watch enough college football to offer an educated opinion.  What football I do watch is limited to the only teams they show on our local channels which is mostly Clemson.  So I could get behind drafting Lawrence if the opportunity presents itself.  Other than that I really don't care either way.

We will have Carr as our qb 

[Mister]

Get Carr , some oline in free agency , draft jerry Judy and with Rhule and Brady’s offense we’ll be dangerous 

[Pimpdaddy]

fix line, then think qb...

Why does anyone think this is an option if we don't even want to keep and pay Cam? Carr is due a total of nearly 60 million dollars in salary through 2022, and he will be turning 29 in March.

In short. Fug no to that idea.

Carr isn't just a no but a HELLLLLL nah

[davos]

100 votes in, this gives an interesting picture.

Most clearly want Cam back yet very few want the interim or low risk options that aren't Cam.
