The Kirk signing then drafting Penix top 10 is even looking dumber a year later. And it looked really really dumb when they did it

Are teams gonna finally stop drafting mid QBs high in the draft?

2021: Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Mac Jones, Justin Fields - 4 busts and a mid
2023: Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson - all mid or worse
2024: Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix, JJ McCarthy, Bo Nix - we'll see but outside of Jayden Daniels nothing impressive so far

Not Seattle. They love their bridge QB's.

Why waste a draft pick? When you can sign someone who's just as good. :wink:

I've had a theory for a while, of which Nick Wright stole my thunder: in order to become a great QB, you must have a great, intimidating QB name. Imagine playing against a dude named Joe Montana or Dan Marino, that frightens. Playing against someone named Kyler Murray or Bryce Young doesn't move the needle. It sounds ridiculous, but it works. Another example: Cam Newton is a great name. Had he instead gone by Cameron, he would have been a major bust. Peyton Manning? Great name. Ryan Leaf? Terrible name. So I can guarantee you right now, a guy named Cade Klubnik is not going to make it. We don't have great QB names anymore.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but still. Steve Young is not a great name, but he was a great QB. Now Vince Young was a great QB name, but he sucked. So if all scouts could throw their reports out of the window and strictly go by this metric that would be great.

as long as you don't sign the poor qb to another contract, there probably still isn't a lot of downside to getting a qb in the first round in case he ends up being good

I’m officially at the point for the Vikings where I’m fine with just signing cheap youngish vet QBs (ages 27-32) over trying to draft a QB.

Hell I’ll even be cool with trading for Anthony Richardson this off season. Sit him for a year or two. Keep getting guys like Darnold/Jones. And if Richardson never plays no big deal.

But ya I’ll be cool with letting KOC maximize these youngish vet QBs going forward. At minimum, they can clearly come in and game manage really solid

Matt Ryan and Josh Allen are mid names, Brett Favre is not even pronounced how its spelled, Patrick Mahomes is a terrible QB name lol
