Mendoza will be out of our reach and instead of reaching for a QB in the mid teens, what about drafting Carson Beck in the mid rounds to compete with Tua in 2026?

Due to Tua's contract he probably returns next year but with how poorly he has played this year, Carson Beck could probably beat him out.

We also have so many other pressing needs to address in the early rounds of the draft.

After a mid season slump he has played better down the stretch. He threw a bit too many picks 10, for my liking. He did however have the 8th highest passer rating in college football.

His game needs some refinement but he does possess an NFL physical skill set in terms of his size arm strength and decent mobility.
 
As long as the FO is convinced he can be something and not just 'here's hoping...'

Like you said, we have a lot of holes to fill. I think BPA is still the best approach, and not counting on it by any stretch, but I want to also see how Ewers develops. I don't mind seeing Tua again next year as we build other areas.
 
Absolutely we need QB competition. Perhaps we get lucky and hit on a free agent or draft pick. I would keep the entire offseason an open competition. Tua should win, but I'd give the other guys plenty of opportunities to come in and run the offense. Build the line next year, CB room and DE's. Let Tua retire after 2027 and bench him next year if his performance is anything like this year.

No, we do not. For several reasons. One is, Tua is done, was done and failed two years ago, and the rest of the room is sht. Two, Mike McD is a dumpster fire decision maker, he is not competent to decide who is the best quarterback.

So who is going to be the starting QB next year?

It's not a bad idea if McD is still here. He could probably run this offense pretty well!

He is so underrated. I was hoping to get him in the 2nd round, but the value of QBs is just too high. We may have to spend our 1st to get him.

If Moore stays, he's my 3rd QB. Might still take him ahead of Simpson just on size, athleticism, arm strength, experience and sheer availability of evaluation tape. That guy has progressed. We knew nothing about Simpson last year.

He's neck and neck with Mendoza on most stats except for TD/INT ratio. Still good, though.

I don’t think he is underrated; I think Mendoza, Simpson and Moore are overrated. They have separated themselves as the top options thus far this year mostly because their teams are good. Now that USC ended their season strong and finished 17th in the AP top 25, he is starting to get more attention. By the time Pro Days come around next spring I wouldn’t be shocked to hear 1st round speculation for him.

We are drafting Byrum Brown from USF. He will sit behind Clayton Tune, a practice squad pick up right now, this week, from Green Bay who will start because of seniority of worthiness to compete for the Super Bowl. And Tua will sit behind Clayton Tune and Byrum Brown in 2026.
Maybe we can put Tua on the practice squad and make Hendon Hooker part of the roster QB room, he is on the street, unsigned. Tua would then sit behind Clayton Tune and Hendon Hooker, as the third string QB for the remainder of the season. And then practice squad perhaps in 2026.

Byrum Brown is almost guaranteed to transfer to a big name school and not come out in the draft this year. If he can repeat his success at USF in a bigger program it will catapult him into 1st round pick conversation.
