QB Draft class

[flyerhawk]

I can see the comparison, but Russ was built like a HB coming out of college.

That's why I said slimmer framed.

 

[MrS]

Taking a peak at next years schedule, it looks absolutely brutal right now.

We play:
NFC East
AFC North
Lions/packers winner
Titans
Saints
Niners x2
Rams x2

Throwing a rookie QB into this meat grinder is going to hurt.

You can't really worry about that sort of stuff.

The AFC West and NFC West were supposed to be, by far, the toughest divisions in football this year. Turns out that was far from true.

For sure, it could end up being cupcake next year.
That said, I have to imagine the rams will recover and the cards may as well, those two teams could account for almost half our wins this year.

I don't know about the Rams. They mortgaged their future for their Super Bowl win. Aaron Donald isn't get any younger. Patrick Ramsey isn't getting any younger. Their offense has one great player and a bunch of whatevers. Their OL isn't getting better.

The Cards are the perpetual "Maybe Next Year" team.

Saw this nugget...

The 32-year-old veteran has proven to be a franchise quarterback in his first season as a starter with Seattle, leading the league in completion percentage (70.2 percent) and ranking fifth in passer rating (102.9). Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports predicts that Smith will re-sign with the Seahawks on a two-year, $59 million deal ($29.5 million per year), which would make him the 12th-highest paid quarterback in the league for the 2023 season.

That seems about right. I would actually expect a 3 year deal with a very juicy signing bonus and the 3rd year being essentially a team option.

 

[MrS]

Thats higher than I would like, but its better than the $50m wilson got.

The transition tag is 30million or so. There is not realistic way that we would get Geno for much less than that.

 

[MrS]

We could let him test the market and find out, wuold be very risky.

The way he talked about the jets, I wouldnt be surprised to see them make an offer

If we let him walk untagged then he is going to sign somewhere else. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to do that to avoid making Geno the 12th highest paid QB in the league.

 

[Screamin12th]

Is the pay increase worth the increase tho?

Didn't say trade for him lol. Let him be cut :P

I like that line "the mirage of greatness blinds all who seek one" that should apply to finding a stud DL also since so many here seem absolutely desperate to draft one ASAP .

It's all a crap shoot but I think they could really use that #3 pick and trade out for a butt load because there will be a team desperate for a QB more than us AND there will be one of the top two QB's left on the board. I don't have faith in Stroud, Young or Levis

Who was the last QB in a draft you had faith in?

Lawrence was a surefire pick and it looks to be panning out.

Burrow was too and he definitely panned out.

Bryce young has the talent to be elite. The problem is his size, basically no QB his height and weight has ever panned out im the nfl

Lawrence started pretty rough though.

Yeah but he was a clear blue chipper coming out of college. He was considered the No. 1 pick once he declared when he was a freshman.

Yes it was no mystery that he would go 1.01 in the draft. It was fortunate the HC got fired and a more competent HC hired or he likely ends up a bust.

Who else did you have confidence in?

Even worse, he could have been drafted by the Jets.

I thought Mayfield was going to be great and Allen was going to be a flop. Which is why I don't pretend to know who will or won't be good.
