It’s not a knock on our quarterback. I’m genuinely asking.
I like Dak but the idea completely starting over with McCarthy is an enticing option for me. I’m good either way but I wanted to get a room temperature of the board
No. Not at all.
Taking a first round QB means this team will be inclined to run him out there. While the argument here at the Barco-lounger coaching hall of fame is clear people here do not believe in the talent this team has. Yet you hear over and over from some very influential past players and current and past coaches this team has the talent to win it all. The disappointment factor ends up causing this to be the sour grapes attitude we see here from fans.
So what this fandome is saying when they suggest a first round QB is to ignore the talent here and allow it to age as you get your new guy up to speed. How many years will that take?
I find that mindset the same as "I'll take my ball and go home if we don't do it my way."
This team is closer than the remote control head coaches, talent scouts, and GM's on this board think.
This jettison of the current team over a rookie unknown - and I will remind so many here also rail on the idea of a first round draft choice QB because he will coast too much before he gets acclimated - the idea of scuttling the team now for a "what if future" is the same stuff you all gripe about Jerry when he runs off emotions and not uses the talent acquisition staff who are experts to decide.
This horse has to be ridden, or break up the team.
And if it is break up the team, then why hire McCarthy? Garrett would have been just fine building a losing record for the sake of a QB pipe dream.
