Q: When should we draft a franchise QB?

A: Last May!

If you want 5 turnovers a game then by all means start beat hard

because the zone thinks this is a playoff team that is in win now mode, lol.

Umm I don't think that's correct, I oersonally hate watching a QB that has hit his ceiling and has no excitement to him, basically plain and simple is not going to do anything to make you win the game just lose it, I'd rather see the rookie and hope we can develop him into a possible starter, this is a rebuild yes but to me rebuild means give players a chance to win a job and erase needs in the future too, exactly why you start Beathard very soon..

My guess is fewer fans are watching this Hoyer lead Niner team vs last season.....that's pretty sad if true. Wish we could tally the numbers. Has nothing to do with winning now, has to do with the crap at QB, who not only stinks but isn't fun to watch at all.....

I agree with you bro. I'm just answering the question.

Right on. I'm just excited for next season. If they can fix our offensive problems like they did our front 7, we'll be set for a long time. Baalke left nearly next to nothing to work with.

Because we need a real body of work to judge him, don't you think? Starting a QB when the season is already lost is just fool's gold. Look at Gabbert. Comes in after half the season and lights it up. Also, you want to see if he can learn from his mistakes. If he only plays 6 games, won't be much learning or progress. I don't know, I don't like it. At the very least these games will become watchable again with some youthful hope at QB.

If Beathard performs well, he can be the starter next year. We cut ties with Hoyer, and draft a QB with a top 5 pick. Then have the draft pick sit behind Beathard until he learns the offense.

I don't see the issue.

If Beathard sucks, then you just start the draft pick or keep Hoyer until the rookie picks up the offense.

I'm with this.

Only if Hoyer gets hurt.

If Hoyer was the only guy on offense making mistakes then it would be worth replacing him. But he's not, so you stick to Hoyer until he's either unable to play due to injury, or he's the only reason the offense is struggling.

If Hoyer doesn't make significant improvements vs the Rams I consider it for week 4

If Hoyer is still misfiring and unable to score any TD's by the half of next week then Beathard should be brought in. I'd also bench Goodwin if he continues to drop passes.

I'd put him in only if Hoyer gets hurt. Beathard is a project and was just drafted to be a quality backup to Cousins or whoever is drafted to be the franchise QB next year.

Kyle has shown 0 issues with putting rookies or the young guys and dumping vets so if he thought Beathard was a better option or was ready to take the lumps I don't think he would have any issues putting him in there.

The only thing Beathard is going to do is miss passes just like Hoyer and throw more INTs.

Assuming we go 0-3 or 0-4 I'd say, start putting him in spot duty here and there and get him ready to make some starts by mid-season BUT, since we're playing the Rams and the now-lowly Cards next, there's every possibility we go 2-2 which would buy us some time to groom him some more. Either way he MUST start some games in the 2nd half of the season so we can get an idea of what he's got.

We need to shore up our interior and let that unit gel before we put Beathard on the field.

My gut feeling is after week 8 before we see a QB change not due to injury.

Hoyer sucked today, but we dropped a few passes and also allowed pressure.

Let's get tighter on the last two and see how Hoyer peforms.
