I'll take a qb without tightrope surgery please..
I know a lot of fans speculate that the rebuild (or tanking) was with Tua in mind. That could be, but I think Miami liked the quarterback class in general and I don't think the plan was as much about tanking as being "bad enough" to draft top five. If that's the case, then maybe it was Tua and Herbert before Burrow emerged. Obviously just a guess, but I don't know if you go into the season hoping to get one specific player. Too many variables there.Burrow will probably go to the senior bowl and possibly even be coached by our staff. That’s a big advantage. I doubt he overtakes Tua but it could close the gap a little in the eyes of the organization.
It's a good point, Hoops. Clearly, Darnold has regressed under Gase. If NY makes a change, I have to think another head coach will like his upside, though. Mayfield has also regressed after a very promising rookie year. Clearly Murray looks better than both of these guys. Allen, on Buffalo, has taken positive steps but not enough to convince me he's ever going to be top 10.I’d like to know if people think this qb class is better than the 2018 class in terms of prospect pure grades.
but I’d like to know it not from how a guys played as a pro in 2019 but a pure head to head prospect aspect.
cause last year I loved the 2018 class off what I saw on game tape but this year I’d have to say that class has really shown some warts.
so purely from a college eval stand point where does this class rate relative to 2018 hell any recent others even.
There haven't been a lot of lefty starters in the NFL...Another question for the board. Say Miami ends up with Tua. How difficult of a transition is it when a lefty quarterback is hurt and your backup is right handed? I know the NFL hasn't had a lot of successful southpaw quarterbacks. Steve Young, Ken Stabler, Boomer Esiason are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
I think it's always been between tua and Herbert. Don't see burrow being considered in miami.I know a lot of fans speculate that the rebuild (or tanking) was with Tua in mind.

Ah. I didn't understand all your laughing emojis at first. Now I get it your a burrow boy. Cool. I guess...First line of the article: Joe Burrow has been the best quarterback in college football this season, and we need to start talking about him potentially going No. 1 overall. For real.
But still insisting on Herbert or tua lmfao, denial at its finest.

Can’t always think that way about the first overall. For every Mayfield and Bradford, there’s also the Manning, Elway, and Aikmans of the draft.With how seriously we're taking whether we draft first overall or not, I'd just like to point out that the first QB off the board has most often not been the best throughout history
I'm intrigued by Awsi's suggestion to simply draft a bunch of QBs. Maybe that's the way to go. Although I don't think you can give even two an equally good opportunity to develop, that would be the drawback.

What the what? Elway was a great QB back in the day who won 2 Super Bowls and was an MVP in one of them with the Broncos. Aikman was a great qb too the guy won 3 Super Bowls and was MVP in one of them as well. That narrative of them being on great teams is so over used it’s not even funny.I wouldn’t put Elway or Aikman in the same category as Manning. Elway and Aikman both benefitted from having great teams.
