I'm over the rookie QB issue. We have lots of needs, which can begin to be addressed by drafting some solid players in the remaining rounds.Willmark » Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:51 am
I don’t disagree with the battle this year, best man wins.Opoponax50 wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:47 am:I'm over the rookie QB issue. We have lots of needs, which can begin to be addressed by drafting some solid players in the remaining rounds.
Pick someone after the draft and commit to O'Connell and Minshew battling it out for the starting position in camp and preseason. Maybe O'Connell sets the world on fire; maybe Minshew becomes the next Gannon. If not, then maybe next year presents opportunities.

I for one don’t think that, and thought it would be a very slim chance they’d be able to move up for a QB. And I know people hate to hear and are a totally against the idea but if I really thought a generational talent was coming out and was a owner in QB and team purgatory I’d send my directions to tank the season. 1 bad season isn’t going to run fans off… yea, I know players and coaches don’t tank but if orders came from the owner and promised they were safe it would happen even without the player’s knowledge. That’s how desperate I’d be for an elite QB.Opoponax50 wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 4:20 am:Agreed. There are some who seem to think that the FO can do anything they want no matter what the circumstances are while never taking into consideration there are 31 other teams involved in the process.
We did attempt to trade up, but Atlanta was the shit-flinging monkey of the draft, so we had to play the hand we were dealt. And that hand ended up being a guy the organization considered the BPA.
In short, the team made the best decision it could under the circumstances. That's all you can ask for.

Or Washington said F how you feel we are taking you anyway lol.Attyla wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:01 am:It does appear though, that the reports regarding Daniels and Washington were way overblown.

Milroe is 3rd day guy. He's a 1 read QB, I'd pass.WolfRaider wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 2:53 am:I think you can add Milroe to that too. Brady Cook could be the big riser.
Cam Ward and Riley Leonard was getting some love to come out this year too.
Class is getting hated on. It’s not terrible it’s just not like this year, which was histrionic.
Good thing with so many QBs going this year and last. Not many teams are going to be in a place to need a QB. Giants and Jets the only two that are jumping out to me.

Possible but we were told he could pull an Eli, that was not the smile of a man who was disappointed going 2nd overall to a team who he felt slighted bylive.B.A.raida wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:06 am:Or Washington said F how you feel we are taking you anyway lol.

They saw a QB worth getting, and got him. Can't fault them for that. Now it just depends on whether or not they were right.Attyla wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:15 am:QBs can play well into their late 30s or older at a high level. I think it was a brilliant move and one that is going to pay off for them.

I'm still a little confused on why the patriots didn't want to trade back. That team is a dumpster fire right now and are going to be right back here the following year, maye or not.Spirit in Black » Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:48 am
I’m just glad we didn’t force a trade for any of the lower ranked QBs.Attyla » Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:49 am
I am not sure why anyone would be confused by this. New head coach, new QB, that happens a lot. And it does not take a good team long to turn things around. Maye is on a 5 year deal and that is plenty of time to get things going.AngryRaidersFan wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:44 am:I'm still a little confused on why the patriots didn't want to trade back.

I really like Penix and it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up the 2nd best QB in this draft class. Cousins is a nice top 10 starter who's 36 years old coming off an Achilles tear. It's not like Penix will be old in QB terms when he has an opportunity to play - assuming he shows enough to make them think he's ready in 1-2 years.JTRaider wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:42 am: They saw a QB worth getting, and got him.

I think Caleb Williams likely ends up as the best QB in this draft.Raidernation1979 wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:59 am:Who do you have as best qb?
