If you or I were an established QB and let’s say top 10, would you want to play here? Personally, I wouldn’t. If you can run a guy like Russell out of your of town…
There’s two sides to that last statement but I believe that neither are right or wrong. Russ had a lot of success under Pete but he was understandably frustrated with how the offense was orchestrated. There’s also the fact that PC and JS put a helluva team together and managed to win a SB… damn near two if not for…(we won’t go here).
We have what we have now and that’s PC. I feel like they’re going to be a lot better off by following their old model and that certainly doesn’t include dumping a significant amount of the cap into a QB. Nor does it mean they should go full panic mode and snatch a QB, in this draft particularly, in the first round.
I’m digging the idea of Corral now in the second. I’d give him the edge over Willis as he’s more “battle-tested”. Maybe Willis has a higher ceiling? I don’t know enough about either of these guys other than to really just say that I don’t like 1st round QBs in this draft.
White flag loser mentality incoming….rolling with Lock and “seeing what happens” could open a world of opportunity QB wise next year. With the mindset that we’re not touching the Rams next year (maybe the Niners as well), what do we really have to lose by exercising some patience?
