Quote:Thank you my good friend because for once someone made some sense with this situation, I'm not saying play blaine gabbert because i'm done with him just everyone else on the message board. We as a franchise can save that money to resign chad henne and use it elsewhere to improve the football team and draft teddy bridgewater at #3 and not look back.

i agree with the beginning but not really the end lol... TB is still a question mark and u can bet there will be looking back this if we take hime and he turns out to be a bust.... id say let henne walk, see if u can lock up vick, if not, roll the dice on TB but either way make sure gabbert doesn't see the field unless.

 

the way i see it, caldwell seems like a pretty smart guy, when he takes a QB he has to know he is tied at the hip to that pick(at least if its in the first)... his job is gonna be riding on the succsess or failure of that QB... whereas a FA qb doesnt necessarily pose the same situation... he can develop a guy under FA that he takes in the second or 3rd and it wouldnt be as critical(for the GM) if the QB draft pick or the FA turn out to be our guy because he didn't reach with the first round pick... plus with our line looking the way it does now, why hinge ur job to a first round pick that  u may or may not get slaughtered regardless of his talent.

 

as a fan, i would love to see us reaching for a polarizing QB, but if i was a gm and my job depended on that kid, idk if it would be so simple
