yeah, Canales nor Bryce really offer what that show wants. We would have to be bringing a lot to the table given we are a small market team. We just don't have the personalities. XL just ain't enough -
I am the same way--look back at the draft history of the Panthers and see how many fourth rounders stuck--While I agree that we need all the picks we have to address needs, backup QB is a VERY IMPORTANT need. While people do not want to spend a draft pick on a QB--I think the best value in round 4 might be QB. Besides, backups cost more cap room than a mid round rookie--so what you lose in the draft you gain in free agency. We have coaches who have developed QBs--and other players. Let them do their work. The concept that a third year QB needs a mentor is myth. They can develop just as much by mentoring a rookie--and there are these things called coaches (often former QBs) who can do that. THIS DRAFT has some strong, developmental QBs that should be available in rounds 3 and 4. The Pats drafted Brady when they had Bledsoe--same thing. I want my backup QB trying to win a starting gig, not looking to stave off Shady Acres. -
Definitely want a guy you can count on for a few games who gives the team a chance to win--I see that perspective. My view is the backup needs to be competing and developing for 3 years from now, when Bryce may be a mediocre QB asking for $80m. In addition, his success has been a relatively short stretch; we don't know if old Bryce might return. I would like to be grooming a backup to be an NFL starter (here or elsewhere) than keeping a guy out of retirement. But there is benefit to any approach, and what I like probably matters little--Cousins behind RGIII, Brady was drafted when Bledsoe was a big name, The Niners drafted Purdy when they were grooming Lance, etc. If you sign a 38-year old veteran, you don't develop the backup QB. Here, we seem to be able to develop QBs (Coach has the rep for developing QBs), so I would like to see us prepare for an uncertain future and use the talents we have on the staff.
