You are burying your head in the sand. The odds of improving our QB situation with a QB drafted with the 17th pick is slim, and the odds are actually much better that it would set the organization back.No I said I answered as in I replied back to your post. I didn't answer your specific question because I don't care about it but I understand old man it gets harder for you boomer to understand these things. I'm not fighting anything. I've said what I said and you're not changing my mind. Only Alex Smith Jr can do that by being a better QB.
Your confusing yourself boomer. My point is pretty simple draft a first rd QB the staff thinks can be the next big thing and go from there. I don't know how you came to this conclusion I don't care about I proving the team when I've said what they should do many times. I guess because as you get older you take less chances because you're scared of the outcome but I'm not at that stage of life yet. They pick wrong so be it not like we are getting rid of a consistent SB caliber QB. I never said get some 35yr old QB but what if you don't draft the next Locker or. Gabbert? See that's the thinking of a man that don't take chances and it most likely reflects in your overall life too.
No, you didn't specifically say get a 35 year old or the next Locker or Gabbert, but that's really what your plan is setting the team up for - either filling in a few years with a fading veteran or taking a shot on a draft pick that is unlikely to result in as good a player as we have, and more likely to result in a weaker player.
You can't simply make decisions without considering those things. It seems some fans think it is easy to just commit to finding an elite QB, but if that's the case why is only 1 of the 5/6 QBs currently considered among the "elite" a player drafted within the last 8-9 years, and why are 3 of the 5/6 elites from draft classes 15-20 years ago?
I would love to have someone like Rodgers in his prime, or a Mahomes like young talent, but people have to face the reality that players like that aren't just available whenever a team chooses to get one.
