He's not a first rounder and he's out of the league in 5 years tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyped at drafting a kid who is electric when facing slower kids yet looked like a boy among men when facing a team with actual NFL prospects (Bama)? Absolutely not. The last draft pick I absolutely hated was Chris Henry. Picking Kyler Murray would top that by 100x. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry was the right pick. We wouldn't know Thomas as the player he is if he was in our offense vs being in NO catching passes from Drew Brees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With better hands. In our offenses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerenityNow Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 If and when we eventually move on from Marcus, I want to draft a QB that isn't an athlete first and more of a natural pocket passer. I feel like our franchise has been chasing the ghost of McNair ever since Steve left by drafting QBs that were in a similar mold to him. They've all been guys that are more like athletes playing QB, and that has ultimately always put our offense behind the 8 ball, because it's always been about helping them to get more comfortable in our offenses by building around their athletic traits. I don't necessarily want a guy that's a statue in the pocket, but having a QB that has a game based around his arm rather than his athletic traits as exciting as those traits can be at times could be a nice breath of fresh air for our franchise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Need the best passer. Not an athlete playing QB. Need an athlete passer not a passing athlete. Players like Murray, Lamar Jackson, etc will struggle. I think Marcus is a good athletic QB. But his ability to scramble works against him at times. Thinking he can run out of everything. Similar to a strong arm QB thinking he can throw it anywhere. But yeah. Harder to find. But a passer that is athletic is the preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloeddyr Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Two player meetings reported so far for this years East/West Shrine Game.

615finest Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 What are you guys thoughts on Riley Ridley? I feel like he’s going to be a better pro then what he showed in college. He was definitely underutilized at UGA. Wouldn’t mind using a mid round pick on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even MVP McNair, Marcus' sophomore year beat McNair's MVP year, statistically. This franchise just doesn't want to be a part of the air it out trend. And it has nothing to do with their abilities to do so, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we need to air it out...I'm saying we need to get with the program a little bit and not be so obsessed with being run-first-second-and-maybe-even-third Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
