Quarterback Supply and Demand

[Mr. Scot]

Former NFL GM Mike tanenbaum of The 33rd Team says there aren't enough good quarterbacks to go around.

For added reference...

Bucs, Saints and 49ers would need to make some room.

[Waldo]

It's cool. I'm sure they will nail it THIS year regardless. We just got to drop demand by getting Sam to one of those teams...Science man

[thennek]

Just run the Wildcat or the Wishbone…

I’d take Tua if the Dolphins aren’t sold

Why are the dolphins listed there? Coach McDaniel said Tua is the right guy and going to be great for the Dolphins.

[La Pantera]

I wouldn't imagine the iggles or giants are 100% sold on their starters either

At one time Rhule said he was really looking forward to working with Cam. Could be the truth. Could not be. Time will tell.

Some people think they're not really sold on him.

I think they are, but that's just me.

There are always three groups of NFL teams in terms of the QB market. 

1. Teams who have an elite QB.

2. Teams who have a guy they are confident can become an elite QB.

3. Teams that are (or should be) shopping for a QB.

You can add Lions, Falcons, Texans, Vikings, Giants, Eagles, Bears, Jaguars, Jets, and Patriots to the list of teams who are not completely sold on their QBs even with the choice of going forward with them as the favored starter for the 2022 season.

These teams are all in the market for a backup QB that can step in and force their team to make the decision to part with their #1 QB. The Lions, Falcons, Texans, Vikings, and Giants are hoping for their Drew Bledsoe/Tom Brady moment. The Eagles, Bears, Jaguars, Jets, and Patriots are still in hopeful mode, but are not sold on having franchise QBs in place. They will gladly bring in a QB to compete for the starter position if their young QBs lose focus and fall on their face.

The NFL QB situation has not been this unstable since Y2K rocked the world.

Ridder, Pickett, Howell, Willis, Corral, Strong, Glass, Coan, Zappe, Eleby, Purdy, Kelley, Oladokun, and Garbers are all going to get their shot to prove themselves in the next few years.

In 2021, 30+ year old back up QBs Mike Glennon, Case Keenum, Josh Johnson, Geno Smith, Colt McCoy, Taysom Hill, Tyrod Taylor, Trevor Siemian, Cam Newton and Andy Dalton all had 50 or more passing attempts for the season with some topping 200 pass attempts on the season. Then you have the under-30 Davis Mills, Jacoby Brissett, Taylor Heinike, and Tyler Huntley place holders getting 200 pass attempts.

Place your bets on the 2022 QBs who will shock the NFL and emerge as franchise QBs. I put the over/under at 4 franchise QBs in this 2022 class, and only 1 of them will be a 1st round pick. A handful of these 2022 QBs will be the new generation of Geno Smith/Colt McCoy that will have 10+ years as back up QBs.

The opportunities are there. 2022 is going to be a crazy year for the QB position. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that the Panthers are going to miss this wild and bumpy ride that won't be around for another 20 years.

They need to make this a less of a QB driven league and return to diversity in offensive thought.  Make the rules more balanced and let teams be able to compete playing defense and running the ball

They should, but that won't happen. The casual audience the NFL chases wants passing and high scores, not running or defense.

[AU-panther]

and this is why this idea of drafting a QB when it is convenient, for example after you build the rest of the team, is a stupid idea.

Do the math people, how many good QBs are there in the league? 10-12

How many years have some of them been playing? 10? 15?

Of all of those QBs that have entered the league over those years we only have how many good ones?

 

That doesn't mean you force a pick, if you don't draft one this year because you feel like none of them are worth drafting that is a valid thought process, but if you think you are going to build the team then magically find one when we you decide you are ready you might be disappointed.
