Volek not likely an option

Though I understood the logic behind bringing in a vet that would be familiar with the new offensive direction, I never understood the clamoring for Volek. He's a 35 year old backup QB that has never been more than average. He's not necessarily someone I'd want mentoring our young QBs.

does this mean we're sticking with moore as our veteran QB or we just aren't going after volek?

I don't consider Moore a vet.....not in the defintion of what you want when you have a young roster at QB. Moore is still a young QB.

Remember when everyone was talking about Volek being a good fit because of his familiarity with the system and Rivera? Someone pointed out that this only made sense if Rivera liked him (maybe Scott, IDR).

This report tells me that the answer was "no", Rivera doesn't like him.

I actually really like Volek. The Chargers staff managed to get their defense + Volek + Sproles to defeat Manning's Colts in a playoff game after Rivers and LDT both got hurt. Volek's body of work is by no means terrible. He's probably one of the best backups in the league, and considering we had what many would consider the worst starter in the league last year, I think that'd make Volek better than Clausen + St. Pierre + Moore...

"League source" all too often winds up being someone's agent, so I don't know how seriously I'd take this.

He might be right, but Reed is the guy who posted a big column explaining why there was absolutely no chance of the Panthers picking up Keyshawn Johnson about 24 hours before they signed him.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
