I found myself in a quite strange postion after the most recent Rams debacle vs the Cards. Since we are now in a deathmatch with a few teams at the top of the draft in the need of a QB. I found myself "gasp" rooting for the 3-8 49'rs in overtime vs. the Chicago Bears. I think I actually had more fun and cheering in that overtime win than the entire Ram game. We are now tied theoretically for the second QB in the draft, if everything plays out right. What a long strange trip it's been...

Strange times indeed.

Is it even a strong draft year for QB's?

That's a great question. If you ask the draft pundits the stock answer "man next year is loaded with QB's". And by the time you get there they claim it's a down year. The problem is the QB position is quite simply the hardest to evaluate. Coupled with the fact that there are less and less QB's coming from a pro style offense in college, its extremely difficult to project how they will do in the NFL. That said there are three QB's that should go in the top 10 maybe 15 picks.

1 Paxton Lynch
2. Jared Goff
3. Conner Cook

Second Tier
4. Wentz
5. Hackenberg
6. Cardale Jones
7. Nate Sudfeld

If you look in the Draft section there is more detailed info and video highlights of a lot of these guys. More to follow...

The Browns are 2-10 and most certainly draft a QB

other teams that might draft a QB

S.F 4-8 (pretty much a lock)
Dal 3-8
Phil 5-7
Wash 5-6
Mia 5-7

wouldn't be shocked if

N.O. 4-8

Hate to keep beating the same dead horse but i have no confidence in this regime drafting or developing a QB.

I mean if we had Andy Dalton, isn't it pretty much a lock he'd be considered a bust by now?

I think he's a marginally good QB anyways... He's surrounded by talent. Great OL. Skill positions Defense. Familiar system etc...

Can you imagine the Bengals with Carson Palmer? LMAO

Precisely.

If we're going to get a good QB, we absolutely have to ALSO change HC's, because no kid is going to succeed in a Fisher offense.

Maybe, maybe not. I not defending Fisher. But when did we actually have a good QB? Marc Bulger?

Or, you could say the last time we had a good QB was when we had a coach who understood how to run an offense and how to develop a QB. Martz gets a lot of criticism for being a QB killer, but at least his QB's experienced successful offensive production.

We don't really know, but how would Bradford have turned out had he been developed under Martz? I really wonder.
