Seems like the "consensus" around here is the NCAA crop of QB's looks very light. In my view it doesn't make sense to squander a 2nd or 3rd round pick on an "okay" talent if the big time guy isn't there. My question is.. are there any backups on other teams ie Garoppolo (regardless of if you think he's good or not) situation's to monitor/that you guys like going into 2019?
So can FitzMagic and 10 other vet qbs who will be available.
My point was more IF that guy isn't there with the first round pick I do not want them taking another Davis Webb-type. No knock on Webb but I hope the next QB "early pick" is a 1st round blue chip "this is our guy" type and not "we think we can build him".
Dude....RG3? I’d rather give you a shot.
We are in a real spot now guys. Aging qb, bad class, passed on a stud. Now end in site.

The Mahomes/Watson draft was considered a bad QB draft. For all we know Herbert/Grier/ or Locke could become franchise QB's. With that said I agree that I do not want to see them take another developmental QB in the 2nd or 3rd round.

I completely agree. I don't want them taking a QB out of panic or need. My original hope was that Eli would play well though this season which would allow them to wait until 2020 to find his successor.
Outside of Mahomes, I haven’t seen anyone from the 2017 class that’s impressive, Watson hasn’t looked very good this year, could be the injury. Mahomes was also a very late riser who shot up boards late. It is atypical to gve a qb rise so late in the process like that. And who knows what Mahomes does away from Reid.

He’s a FA after this season.
The season isn't over but it's not looking promising. When you really think about the decision you have to question their motive. They put their faith in a 37 year old Eli who was coming off two down years and hoped that they could fix the offensive line in one offseason. That was a really unlikely outcome that they put their faith in. I think it is fair to genuinely question if DG chose short term success while he was around over the long term future of this team.

+1. Agree completely with this.
Doubt it. They just wanted to a quick turnaround with Eli and drafting a QB to sit for a year wasn't going to achieve that goal. It was a flawed idea then and looks even more idiotic now. Colossal mistake.
The Colts were offered a 2nd round pick for Brissett recently and they rejected the offer. I wouldn't give up a 2nd for him even if they accepted it. They need to find a franchise QB not some middle of the road type.
