Alex Effect - 2019 Draft

Also Alex's contract had a guaranteed 44M over the next 3 years even if an Injury happened.

Unless the teams falls off the cliff and loses out, Colt lights it up like Nick Foles, or he decides to retire, the team is going with Alex next year. That doesn't mean that the team cannot draft a young QB to groom behind Alex.

I know people want to write Alex off, but name me another FA QB that has worked out this year? Ironically, Kirk Cousins has gone to a much more talented team, and still has roughly the same record that we have (technically ours is better). Casey Keenum hasn't lit it up in Denver either.

And are people willing to write Alex off after just 10 games? Shit, how many years did we wait for Cousins to make this a winning team? If the team gave Kirk two years are 40+ mil, I'm willing to give Alex more than 10 games.

I'm not justifying or defending Alex's bad performances this year, but what other option do we have?

How do you know? Colt may play well enough to keep the job going into camp. Then you add in a young guy, that leaves Smith in limbo really. His salary dictates that he'll be on the team, but the chances of him being the starter are slim if you ask me.

Also Cousins had never been a full time starter and was much younger. Smith has had several years being a starter and we already know who he is as a player. So the options are Colt, or a rookie who has more of a ceiling than Colt and Smith.

I'd take Carr, he's better than he looks this yr. I don't see them trading him though

Bringing in a guy like Carr or even Flacco won't happen w/ Smith's contract. It really leaves the team handcuffed and stuck w/ him. Maybe some of the cap guys can explain it but you can't bring in another vet like the ones I mentioned. That is why a rookie makes way more sense. And even if Colt totally balls out he would I assume want starter money going into next year. So many possibilities that are up in the air.

Colt would have to play really well down the stretch here to take the job, I also think Smith would need to have some sort of setback to not enter the season as the starter.

I like Tyree Jackson out of Buffalo University....he's 6'7 245....has a very strong arm and very athletic....he will probably have to sit a year and learn the pro game...has a very good highlight reel...on the nfl level he will have to learn to scan the field better....has a habit of looking one way before delivering a pass....which will make it easy for NFL CBs to read his eyes and intercept his passes....but he's overall a quality prospect.

Yes even if we make the playoffs i don't want CM as QB1 going into next season.

Why are so many NFL fans expecting QB's to play lights out or you want them cut? There aren't 32 "lights-out" QB's available. That's just the reality of football. We have a strong defense that could carry a team, a potentially strong 2019 running game, and some talent at WR. You don't have to have an elite QB to go far. I love watching Brady and Rodgers etc. but I'd rather improve the team and have a Colt McCoy just doing his job than be where Green Bay is with an elite QB but no team around him. This isn't a panic time yet. I have no worries with Colt at QB as long as we have a long term plan in place like bringing in or drafting a new QB of the future. To be honest, this is exactly where I wanted to be at the start of '17. Should've traded Cousins for a #1 and let Colt play last year and draft a QB for '18.

Possible 2019 QB draft picks;...... nothing special

^And don't forget toss dirt on buttfumble either...im sure he can still shit the bed with the rest of them.


Folks, we need a young QB on the roster now. Its not good.I am in favor of the Parcells model.

Experienced journeyman, double down on the supporting cast, defense and O Line. And keep taking shots with picks.

Drafting qb's is an absolute crap shoot.

Keep throwing darts at the dart board but don't bet the farm unless it's an Andrew Luck type.

He's such a bad passer. I grade his games weekly, yeah he's big but dude has no touch at all and makes bad decisions.
