    It gives no guarantee but what it was does do is give JD the ability to pick the QB he wants.(Outside of TL) Future drafts you would have to trade up or hope they fall to us. Unless of course we go 0-16 next year.

  2. Im totally fine moving on from Sam.. but it does leave a bad taste that we draft a high ceiling type who clearly needed time to round out his game & then dump him after 3 yrs after surrounding him w the absolute worse case scenario in terms of OL/Skill,scheme fit & overall coaching.

    If we’re going that route,i get it..but think its a much better look to fix what is broken hollistically w offensive personnel than throw another QB into the fire.

    Great teams win games, not great QBs.

    We still have a long ways to go before we can say we have a great team. Wilson has bust flags flying all around him. I'd rather stay the course, build a solid team, and roll the dice next season when we are actually prepared to develop a rookie QB.

    Gotcha, that's a fair point. Personally I think QB is so important that it's too risky to get too cute. I'd rather feel more sure about the QB pick than get an extra first rounder and be less sure about it because only the 3rd-4th QB on our list is still there.

    Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Draft the QB even if you plan on keeping Darnold. If Aaron Rodgers can be made slightly uncomfortable w/ a freshly minted 1st round pick QB in his QB room so can Sam.

    Yeah like I said that’s fine IF you have Wilson head and shoulders above the rest

    If you’re just taking one of the Rookie QBs to gamble on because you have a need at QB and you’re in position to do it, you might as well improve the team in the process by trading down. After all, they’re all a gamble anyway.

    I’m not against any philosophy or way to build a team, you just gotta look at all angles which I’m sure they’re doing since we finally have competent leadership (I hope).

    Wilson having red flags is besides the point. it maybe Fields or Lance. If you think they will be great you pick them. With free agency teams rotate and fill holes. No team wins with bad QB play it is just the way the NFL is setup with their rules. You keep swinging until you find your QB or you will be the Bucs and keep going 8-8 until they decided to bring in Brady then they win a Superbowl with pretty much the same roster.

    Yeah it’s kind of like passing on a QB w/ the 6th pick one year then trading the 6th overall pick and 3 second rounders to BLINDLY trade up to 3 the next year. :confused:

    I’m sure you put it somewhere else but who is your preferred choice?

    If you look at the teams that have won Super Bowls over the last 10-20 years about 5-10% of them didn't have good QB's.

    Sure but the packers took Love at 26 - not 2.

    Here is the proof that some Wilson supports are over reaching.

    If you think we should take Wilson and that he should sit a year, then he is not worth taking at #2. You don't take a QB at 2 that you think needs to sit a year. That is a direct indicator that he is not worth the second pick.

    What the packers did is even worse as that position is solidified & a good player at another position could have made a difference. We’re rebuilding; the negative impact is far less.

    That is Bullshit.

    Mahomes sat a year. Rodgers sat 3 years. Brady sat a year.

    If the QB you select has raw talent but little experience it is always better to let them become a pro instead of throwing them to the wolves and see them fail.

    Dude, we aren't even talking about Wilson lol. Taking Fields at #2 doesn't change anything about any of the points I've made. You're calling everyone biased while being extremely biased yourself. We get it, you hate Wilson and want Smith.

    There’s anecdotal evidence on both sides of this argument. Josh Allen being chief among the opposing view point.

    Allen plan was also to sit him a year but you know injuries happen. He still had to adapt his game from Div 2 to the NFL.

    Or even 2023. Wait until we already have a powerhouse team, draft a rookie QB and go for the gold! Kinda like the Steelers did when they drafted Roethlisberger.
