Honestly, at QB right now I've been pounding the drum that we use the draft to take our next back-up QB and save the position for a stronger QB class next season. Use the first round pick on the best offensive lineman available at the time and move on. We need to make a pick that is good for the life of the franchise, coach not-withstanding.

And as to that QB I'd take. Grab Bailey Zappe in the late rounds. He holds the NCAA records for most yards passing in a season AND broke Joe Burrow's record for most TDs in a season. He wasn't at one of the big programs, so he won't be going near the top, but he will be going. He has the "it" factor that makes for a winning QB -- around here, you'd call it the 2003 Delhomme vibe. He's also shown massive improvement each season, at different programs and different coaches. He can be coached, and that is a massively important thing.

Draft Zappe, run Darnold out to start the season, replace him with Zappe and see what we've got. If he is only fair, then we've got another high draft pick and a back-up on the cheap with some experience. We're going to need that after the next coach jettisons Darnold and PJ Walker during the Temple/Baylor purge.

I like Willis but he’s very raw, he’s a boom or bust prospect. Pickett is ready to play and there’s something very Burrow-esque about him. Seems like most people don’t like him simply because Rhule does. Corral is an unknown to me. Don’t want another veteran re-tread bridge QB at this point.

I’m sure it has nothing to do he was at the same program for his whole 5 year college career, a four year starter, and only produced relevant numbers in his 5th year.
 

Outside of his small hands him and Burrow couldn’t be further apart.

Burrow couldn’t even start at OSU. Transferred to LSU and had an ok year projecting him mid to late draft pick. Then his final year when he was similar age to Pickett, he played amazing. Burrow’s ceiling was questioned as well as he is “limited” athletically. The difference is Burrow when undefeated in a tough SEC and won it all, however he had an absolutely loaded team with a NFL roster. There are some similarities, but Burrow just has that “it” factor where he refuses to lose. He even adjusted his throwing motion/stance to increase velocity this past offseason in the NFL. Burrow reminds me of Brady where he is going to do what it takes to get better and win every game he can. I’m not sure if Pickett is wired that way or not…

I mean…a little strange to prop up the Colts/Irsay considering the Wentz trade was even more of a colossal bust than Darnold when you factor in what they traded away. That trade actually made me grateful we only gave up a 2nd and 4th instead of the 1st and 3rd for Wentz, who couldn’t even beat Jacksonville to take them into the playoffs…and then gets shipped off again after one year. Irsay is so very brave to mildly criticize Wentz after trading him away.

You’re allowed to whine about the team without feeling the need to prop up a steaming pile of garbage in comparison.

Not propping anyone up. The Colts are miles ahead of the Panthers at this point though. We were swept by the NFCE (lol) who are we to judge? If you want to take that out on me tee off I guess. Thanks for the input pal.

I agree with your assessment. However you could argue that in the SEC Burrow was also playing against teams who had similar squads stacked like NFL rosters. Not to mention unlike Pickett, Burrow was a two year starter at LSU and had to change programs. That convinces me that Burrow has that “it” factor and that Pickett may have been a man amongst boys in his fifth year.

To be fair, and I'm not trying to tie them together in any way as I think Burrow is much better...

But he didn't "have" to transfer, he did because he couldn't win...he chose to transfer, and it paid dividends.

Every QB in the draft has a higher ceiling than Sam Darnold. I can’t believe people still think he’s good, or even worthy of playing. 

Does anyone? I can't think of anybody here that thinks he's good. Would they rather the team "tank" with him so we can get a better prospect next season? Yes.

I beg of them to take the best DE/OT/DT/OG at 6, then wait til next year and take the franchise QB in a much better draft

 

You guys will bitch because you all have the patience of a 2 year old, but it's the best direction for the team

Of course some still think he could be good. Kyle Allen had his little fan club too. If there's one thing that some in this fanbase love it's a shitty QB who carries himself to their set standards.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
