He has HOF level ability and will only get better as he matures and adds more muscle. Going to be a real showdown between which franchises can tank best.

The_Slamman Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I know we get after SL for lack of creativity, but creativity can be overrated. Can you imagine how the guy who pitched this one to Sabin feels right now... So guys, here’s the play we are going to run: It’s 4th and 6 and We are going to fake a FG. Now, we’re not going to throw it. That’s too risky. Once the ball is snapped, the kicker is going to fake like he’s going to kick the ball but instead of kicking it, we are going to use the kicker as the lead blocker.... you know like a fullback. Then the holder is going to follow the lead blocking kicker. Guaranteed first down! Any questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I remember when Matt Barkley and Christian Hackenberg were no-brainer future franchise quarterbacks too. The kid isn’t eligible until 2021. IMO, the talk of trying to position yourself to draft him is way too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lined up playing the fake. There was literally no chance for that play to have been successful. Bama should’ve taken a time out and kicked the FG.

Trade a current years first for a 2nd + a first the following year. If I cant grab a QB next year, I sell out for 2021. Theres no QBs this year and they arent sold on Carr.

Teams who need a QB should always be on the lookout for a QB. And he really looks like he's going to be a good one. And trading for future firsts is often a great idea, regardless. What I disagree with is completely punting on every other potential avenue of acquiring a franchise quarterback in hopes that 1) you can actually maneuver into the 1st pick in 2021 and 2) that this 19-year-old kid develops the way you hope.

But a year ago everyone was saying teams should wait for Tua. Maybe they will both be great prospects come draft time. Or maybe their warts will show by then and they won't be as clear-cut as they once seemed. But either way, putting all of your eggs in the basket of a single prospect 3 drafts from now seems foolish.
