Coach said things are trending in the right direction. Tomorrow they are back at practice so we’ll know more.

Nothing goes our way? If we crush it that means things went our way. It’s much too early to see how the draft will fall as prospects will go up and down as we lease up for the draft. There are a handful of QBs that as of now are late 1 early 2 “worthy”. Daniels, Nix, Penix, etc may all be available mid to late round 1, early round 2. It’s much too early to fret about this though so just have fun with rest of season and looking at different prospects.

His contract makes it unlikely that he will be picked up on waivers. Once an FA, I’d expect him to select a contender.

It’s why like Penix (have watched him play). His injury history is one of the only things that worries me. That’s for the doctors to decide though. Him or Daniels (in my post for this discussion) would\should have an immediate impact to the team which is why I’m high on getting a QB this year. Let’s be real the last high round QB we drafted was Carr. Now folks are scared to jump for a QB knowing it’s a need (I really like Aidan, but thus far hasn’t shown he’ll be the long term solution). At the early onset this may be one of the best QB classes on recent times, so take your shot when and while you can.

Saying the above doesn’t mean we ignore defense either. Without a bonafide starter at QB however it won’t matter who we get on defense unless they also score 20 a game. We have multiple other picks in the draft to pick up players for iOL/iDL, CB, LB and anything by else we could imagine. This on top of FA. Personally I’m tired of trying for a “mid” QB thinking that will be good enough. The only reason I was semi OK with Jimmy was thinking the team would draft one of the top QBs last year. Now we here we are basically in the same position as before.

*Other…..

We don’t NEED a top 5 at this point. If you want Williams or Maye you’ll need 1 or 2/3. Personally if we keep this HC my choice would be Daniels, mobile and can throw it (AP helped recruit Daniels to ASU).

I like Penix a lot as well, but his injury history worries me.

It’s early though so lots of things could change between now and then.

Can’t really think that far ahead with so many unknowns. Still have plenty of season left to figure out who’s gonna be here and who’s not (this includes coaching and FO). Without those locked up\decided on hard to say anything. Right now I’m having fun watching someone QB prospects and watching team week to week.

I’m fine, disappointed in the offense, happy about defense. It’s more about seeing how the team handles this loss.

3 1s, 3 2s, Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner or don’t even bother calling.

Curtis Bolton was also added late to the list with an illness…

Bleeds silver and black……….
