Hurney On WFNZ At 3:15

[Squirrel]

i love you.

Dont go that far.

He wouldnt be ready. Try to trade for Cutler, Quinn or atleast attempt to upgrade the position.

I don't think it's that easy to say those would have been smart moves for a variety of reasons. I do think they should draft the future guy this next draft though. I am also surprised they haven't locked up either Moore or McCown past this year though perhaps they are waiting for TC to see who wins that battle and they will then lock that guy up for a bit.

I think your right on the training camp battle. Another reason i hated them for giving up next years first. They could have used it on a QB and let him sit behind Jake and Moore. Yeah it would have been costly the first couple of years but well worht it.

Shoot, I didn't even think of that aspect. I would likely have agreed with their using a first on a QB next year provided the talent level in the draft is there.

Fox and Hurney have both publicly stated, (and I know I'm going to get challenged on this, keep up people) that they are not in favor of drafting a QB in the first round. Too much money to try to groom a franchise QB and of course as more will say, we can't do that anyway...

Yeha they have but if the talent is good enough it is worth the risk.

Yeah I know Mint, I've even read where Fox was quoted that he would play the same way even if he had Elway @ QB. I wish I could find that quote. I am not disagreeing with you (or them on their philosophy of NOT drafting one in the first as a general rule, I agree with that too). I just wouldn't be upset with using a #1 pick if it's a good team. I think they will be good enough as a team to afford to do it next year.

I'm not advocating the "draft a QB with next year's first if we had a first" approach, and as Mintal pointed out, it's clear this organization does not favor that approach either, but it is pretty obvious that we could wind up with a first next year if Fox and Hurney wanted one.

A) Trade up

or

Peppers gets traded after next year

agreed. if there is someone we want badly enough in the 1st, hurney will make it happen.

I say draft The Golden Calf of Bristol in later rounds, roll dice he can play QB in NFL, if not he'll be a solid FB or TE who has the heart of a champion.

[jpniner]

Dan Henning is looking like the offensive genius we were told he was and scratched our heads over when he was here.

Please no.

No no no

I like to think there are three most likely scenarios when it comes to developing QBs in the first round/investing in fresh QBing in general.

you can try and SUCCEED

you can try and FAIL

or

you can NOT try and FAIL

as I've said before, football is a game of knowing when to take a risk. You don't get very far taking risks everywhere you go and you don't get very far taking no risks. But fug it, let's just keep on going about QB with a self-defeatist attitude of "who do we get?":frown2: to improve the quality of the position.
