They swapped picks from 8th to 10th and sent two 2nd round picks. Still, point is since that David Carr debacle, he's been apart of administrations that have been trigger shy with QBs. It made sense to take Hackenberg when they did, but they miscalculated on Fitzpatrick, hoping he could be good enough to hold the fort for 2 years and clearly Hack didn't progress as planned. You can't be triggershy again. Sure maybe McCown and Teddy provide a quick fix, but unlikely to provide the kind of sustainable success that Maccagnan has been seeking ever since he got here. Hopefully we're just complaining over nothing and they still prioritize identifying their young QB and selecting them, but I'm definitely concerned.

Dr.O Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm actually done with this. I've defended Macc on occasion in the past but the way he's handled this offseason so far is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only administration Maccagnan was ever apart of that actually took a 1st round QB was the 2002 Houston Texans, when they selected David Carr. I get it, QBs have a higher risk of busting. In a vacuum I actually prefer the ethos of drafting and developing QBs every single year on day 2 and day 3 until you find a guy that can be a franchise player as opposed to selecting them in the top portion of the draft if you're weary of their potential, but my problem is that Maccagnan has drafted 2 "projects" with little success. If he does it again in round 2, then we could be looking at another 2-3 years of "competitive" football but no real future in sight, with the Jets claiming their taking their time to develop the 2nd round QB... Just like Maccagnan did with Hackenberg, he'll claim he's just 1 of 52 players and that they don't feel he needs to be a starter right away in order to be a good player one day. It's buying time. Made sense back in 2016, but doesn't make sense anymore. Go all-in for the QB you feel best projects to the NFL with the intent of making him your franchise guy. Have a plan in place, develop him, let him get a shot and go from there. Hinge your wagon to him. I know Maccagnan doesn't want to do that - its against his nature - but this franchise will continue to be mediocre until we make a move for a QB. If it succeeds, Maccagnan is here for the long haul. If it fails, next GM likely gets his opportunity. Entering Maccagnan's 4th draft, that's the way I see it. My worry with this is who is the 1st Round QB throwing to? We just watched it ruin Geno's career. It ruined Sanchez' after his 2nd year. We need weapons. I've been saying this for years. What does trading up in the draft do for us? Maybe land us a guy who Macc likes (honestly I don't trust his scouting at all). No guarantee this guy is a franchise guy or that we even play him in his rookie year. So in order to get his guy new have to give up several valuable picks that could be used to get good players at RB, WR and TE. We give up picks we are giving up the chance of adding players to help develop a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should check in on AP at RB and bring back Marshall at WR maybe trade for Gates at TE and maybe add Welker as a slot guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubiak was in charge of declaring Matt Schaub as his starter right after the trade was complete. Why didn't Maccagnan recognize that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
