It's a tricky situation, especially if Purdy ends this season looking efficient while sprinkling in some playmaking ability. I am a believer that SB windows are short, especially on a team where the QB is not the focal point of the offense/team. I would be willing to take some lumps to let Lance develop but we don't know how long that will take. Is it a one year thing? Is it a 6 game "tryout" during the 2023 season to see how quickly Lance progresses while knowing they have Purdy in their back pocket?
I no longer care where each QB was selected. Brock is showing he can operate this offense, and maximize the result on some plays - that was the missing element with Jimmy imo. This team has too many playmakers in their prime to dick around and see if a project QB is the long term answer when they need an answer at QB right now. I'll trust Kyle to make the right call since he is in the meeting rooms with these guys. I think he is putting more weight on "win now" than "build for the future".
I posted in the Lance thread about this. If we didn't have such a great roster that's ready to win, I'd be okay with letting him play and seeing what we got. I just don't want to waste this opportunity on that, because odds are we wouldn't won't be super bowl. I'd rather play with a QB that we know can operate at a high level and let the chips fall where the fall.
if Lance ends up sprouting and start balling, then of course start him. Idc who ends up being our FQB, I just want one to lead us to Super Bowls.
Totally agree on both posts. No doubt, next year will be interesting on how this plays out . I will give the edge to Purdy because his body of work in college and how the offense not only didn't miss a beat when he came in but actually look more explosive under him..and the whole team believes in him. Then you add these playing time the last few games and playoffs are so valuable in his development that puts Lance behind. A 6th rounder (Brady-before he was the goat) replaced a former number 1 pick(Bledsoe) or a 3rd rounder replaced a high priced signing (Flynn). So Its safe to assume Shany will pick the player who can run his offense regardless of draft positions. Team is ready to win now.
The only high draft pick that has served us really well is Bosa in the Lynch/Shanahan era. Look at the disasters of Soloman and Forster for example. Draft picking is a guessing game that is sort of guided by a number of educated guesses. Most of it in reality is luck. College performance does not always equate to success in the NFL. Look at last year QB draft. Only Lawarence is doing reasonably okay. Wilson, Mac have fallen on their faces.
That's another thing - people act like losing those first round picks means we won't get an excellent talent, that isn't necessarily true. I'd obviously love to have more first round picks. Lol but I also wouldn't care if Purdy ends up being the guy and all of it was wasted on Trey. The goal is to find a QB - idc how we do it.
Spot on. We just need the best we can get in all positions. Draft is trading on unrealized potential. After the draft if the potential is not realized in a timely manner then the pick is worth less than the price paid by the draft position.
