If we release Carr what would you think of bringing back Jameis? [Mod edit]

We drafted Archie No. 2 overall in 1971, and I truly believe he was a championship caliber QB except for the fact he had NOTHING to work with. The same would happen to whatever QB we to draft next unless we try to develop a healthier, more talented team around him. But in 1971, all we had was Edd Hargett, who wasn’t even close to Rattler potential-wise. So we had draft an Archie because that was a deep QB class. Rattler was what, the fifth QB taken last year? If Shedeur or Ward were in the draft last year, they are about even with Rattler potential-wise and would have gone fifth to seventh QBs taken. I just think we need to see what we have with him and CKM and not out any QB in an Archie-like situation. Or even use our first three picks for the trenches or other needs (I’m not against Jeanty or Warren) and then draft Dart, Howard or Gabriel with our other third-round pick or in the fourth. I just don’t understand a kneejerk reaction to overreaching at QB with truly knowing what we have in Rattler.

My thought process as well about Rattler. There were SIX QBs taken in the first 12 picks! Then the long gap to Rattler in the 5th. He was projected to be a 2nd to 3rd round, I believe. I wonder where he’d be projected to go if he came out this year.

We still don’t know what we have with either Rattler or Haener. I would feel more comfortable if they weren’t both around six feet tall, but they both still show a lot of promise. We’ll see what Kellen thinks of them real soon.

As for Jameis, not a good idea for multiple reasons. I wish him the best, but he just doesn’t seem to fit the direction we’re going in. If we’re looking for a bridge QB, then keep Carr for another season.
