Rebuilding strategy, forty-niners or saints?
But HOW did the Commanders land their franchise QB?
They drafted him. But how you got him doesn’t change the plan. The plan is to get one. Such as the Saints did w/ Drew. Take a chance on an injured Qb1 w/ a mega high ceiling. Other Qb needy teams at the time, didn’t want to gamble on Drew’s shoulder.
If you’re trying to make the point that we have to draft one, I agree, you’re more than likely going to draft Qb1 than finding a retread with a new attitude. However, with that said, and like I said about Baker Mayfield, that it’s just a matter of time before he is franchise material. I think Daniel Jones, now with Indy, is ready for the next step. At the time with Carr, Carr was already close to the top of the ladder, just two steps short…we figured the plan to be, put a solid team around him w/ a solid D, and the loving touch of Mrs Benson, and boom. Done. Nope, didn’t happen. Those two steps needed are like a short wire you put over a doorway to train a puppy not to go in a room. Carr is like that puppy, but now a dog, still staring at that one foot high wire, not able to step over and grab a Lombardi. By Lombardi I mean, a playoff win.
Maybe we take a shot on Shadeur if he falls, I’m sure CKM can develop him. Let him sit behind Carr for 2 years. Or 1. And let he and Rattler battle it out…then by year 3 Shadeur could be Qb1. The way it’s going now, we’re probably a 7 win team. So we should consider him at 9 becaue we won’t have a top ten pick for awhile
