I’d take shots on Fields, Zach Wilson, Drew Lock and even Trey Lance if they wanted to do the whole bridge thing

All these guys have legit NFL arms. The more this plays out I’m kinda coming around to the idea of a bridge QB for a bit and seeing what Canales can do

100% agree.  Saddle Canales with a rookie QB nest season--rinse and repeat of the past couple of years.  If Canales can get us to around .500 with a JAG veteran next season and show improvement with Dalton this season, then we can move forward with a rookie in '26 knowing he's our coach for the foreseeable future.

I know playing in Kiffin’s offense is going to raise a lot of questions but Dart could end up being an intriguing option in 2nd

This QB's mindset--and it's backed up. At the moment, we can trade down and get him...and probably don't have to worry about him saying he won't play in Carolina.

"Attack! Attack from the jump!"

"Every f'n snap is all about us!"

"Let's go attack these mfers!"

No way we take another Bama QB...

I agree. I know Saban is gone but no way Tepper wants to hear a peep about another Bama QB

It was scallops and a nice salad.  Don't want to gain too much weight....

While I understand that reflex...imagine Chicago not taking another Ohio State QB after Fields...and Fields at least looked the part.

Half the people who didn't want Stroud only discounted him because he went to Ohio State. Everyone with that view now looks foolish.

Yeah I get all that, I’m the first to say scout the player not the helmet but this is David Tepper we’re talking about

The most important thing to me is to have a true bridge QB and don’t start a rookie. Pats are doing it the right way this year. Packers have done it that way for years etc. That also allows you to draft a high upside QB and develop him. And it would work really well with Candles as a HC. Allen from Penn State would definitely fit the bill for this.

I agree.

I don’t even care if it’s someone we take 1st overall, let him sit a year 

I don’t think there was any amount of “developing” that was going to do anything differently for Bryce though. His arm was never getting better. He was never getting bigger. 

Allar has all the tools. I haven’t been a fan but I’d definitely get behind the pick knowing he has the tools and would be given a chance to sit and develop with Canales

System QB.  I've looked at some of his tape and he's got a noodle arm.  Be proud of me that I'm down on the NCAA leader in passing.

If Nussmeier keeps doing what he’s doing then he’s going 1st round for sure
