We have to address the QB position eventually
why not now? seriously...
why not do whatever it takes to get him and sacrifice a couple years in the pits for doing so?
we've already started "rebuilding" or whatever you call want to call it
we keep toiling around .500 when we know we're not gonna go anywhere
throw everything at the direction of detriot and oakland and get "your guy"
i know why have alot of holes to fill. but all the makeup in the world won't cover that blemish of not having a QB back there
we need to get a QB and stop getting these stop gap guys
who's with me?
No. Well, sort of
.
I am a HUGE Quinn advocate, I want him on this team like you wouldn' believe, but as far as giving up "everything and the kitchen sink", I just can't agree to that. I will never let the intrigue of one player come in the way of the overall outlook of the team.
What WOULD I give? Depending on the situation, I'd give as much as a 1st, 2nd and 3rd (and definately Culpepper, lol). It's a risk, and he COULD bust, but so could ANY player, so why not take the possibility of a QB being great or busting than, say, an OT doing the same.
We have had good lines, average lines, and crappy lines since Marino, and still haven't done anything post-season-wise (aside form a few short playoff appearances with Fiedler), so it's obviously not all the OL's fault.
We've had good WR, average WR, and crappy WR since Marino, and again, same results, so it's not all their fault. Same with RBs.
So that leaves QB. We have Pro Bowl calibur WRs (at least one anyway with Chambers), a Pro Bowl calibur RB, and an OL that imporved (although still nothing great) as the year went on, yet what we lack is a QB to pull it all together.
Quinn is a great prospect, and a competative guy, and this team needs him. Who else has his potential anytime soon? This can't be another "we'll target a franchise QB next draft" year, cuz we've had those for EIGHT years. We need to finally pull the trigger on one NOW.
I still don't think we should give away the entire draft, but we DO need to make a reasonable play for him while he's right there, who knows when the opportunity to draft a guy of this calibur comes along again.
