Let's go back to QB draft classes beginning at 2010-just 12 short years ago, shall we? Qualifers: still the starter on original draft team, top 10 selection.

2010-None

2011-None

2012-None

2013-None

2014-None

2015-None

2016-None

2017-One-Mahommes

2018-One-Allen

-----------------------------------------------------

Still on rookie deals

2019-Two- Murray (extended), Jones (Jones not offered 5th year)

*2020-Three-Burrow, Tua, Herbert [*unicorn draft]

2021-One or two- Lawrence and Lance? Wilson is washed with the Jets

2022-None-None was worthy of a top 10 pick, lol!

 

Take out the unicorn draft and you have 5.5 (Lance is a .5 until we know more) top 10 QBs in the past dozen years still starting for their draft team.

A slam dunk moving up for a QB, huh?

Take out the unicorn draft and you have 6.5 (Lance is a .5 until we know more) top 10 QBs in the past dozen years still starting for their draft team.

Again what is the hit rate on 

1. A 45 year old Qb

2. 3rd, 4th and 7th round QB’s working out

3. A retread being good after 8 years in his career..

Since you brought up the other Playoff Qb situations.. What is the hit rate on those situations compared to drafting a QB in the 1st round?? 
 

Your so afraid of this but you think these other situations are more of a sure thing???

Or you hope we’re bad enough to get a QB next year 

Or you want to wait on the perfect situation where we are really bad in a great QB draft year??

What is the viability of any of this??

Thank you for asking.  I want to move back in this draft and stock up on skill positions (outside of QB) and draft the defensive-appropriate personnel for a 3-4.  Prior to that I would like to pick up either Brissett and/or Minshew in FA  on a 2-3 year deal (backgrounds with Indy/Philly).  Get the rest of of the roster molded in the form that this staff is looking for and then in 2024 get the rookie QB.   Then there is zero pressure to start the guy right away.  If the rookie impresses, there's no major blow back (cap wise or from the fans) benching Minshew or Brissett if the rookie is ready to go.

Moving back this draft also gives us more picks for the 2024 draft in case we do have to move up some.

Okay well agree to disagree.. 
I don’t want to wait till 2024 to get a QB hoping “this is the one year” when you get 1… Reality the team will be better and we will be in a worst position to get a QB.. Nor do we know if next year class will be better or not.. Because lately most classes have looked good before the season pans out.. 

So again agree to disagree..

I never get the "wait till next year" to get a QB approach. This roster is not bad enough to get the top QB's next year either. So we will be in the same position next year.

 

At some point you have to just bite the bullet and trade up for your QB. Waiting is not a guarantee either.

Also when I say the 2020 draft is a unicorn, you'd have to go back allllllllll the way to 2004 to find another draft with similar success.  Before that?   Good luck going back that far!

Edit: Ooooh, I did find another...1971!!!!!

Again what’s the hit rate on other QB situation working out???

The people banging the "next year" drum are just shell-shocked. And then next year rolls around they'll start to hem and haw about how that years class isn't actually all that good. Drake Maye is the flavor of the month just like Sam Howell was way back when his hype was at an all time high and people had him going first overall.

Every. Damn. Year.

I disagree. I was against the QBs last year for obvious reasons even though half the board wanted us to take Pickett or Willis in the 1st. I was on the Fields/Jones train the year before and wanted Herbert or Love the year before that.

People just want the excitement of drafting a QB high, like having money in their pocket and wanting to buy something so bad they settle for something less and this year is something less, unless you want to sell everything to go get Stroud. And I mean everything. 
 

And even with him, People are forgetting that before his Georgia game his stock was falling.

And based on the the QB playoff situation about 50/50 for both.

No it’s not what math are you using??

Are you even doing the equations right??

 

Just like you want to claim all the hits and misses of 1st round QBs do the same thing with other QB situation..

Again

whats the hit rate on a 45 year old QBs leading there teams to the playoffs..

“What is the hit and misses rate on QBs picked after round 1..

What is the hit rate on  a 8 year vet finally figuring out how to play QB??

Do the same thing you do to discredit drafting a QB in the 1st round for all these situations…

We aren't solving the QB dilemma in trades or free agency. You swing when you get the chance. Reich didn't put this staff together to waste a season waiting on a QB next year. That's not how you run a franchise.

    • KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.
    • Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.  
    • Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
