Quote:You're post and title seem like different scenarios to me. 

 

Obviously if Caldwell doesn't think any of the QBs are good then yeah stick with Henne another year until you can find "the guy". But most likely this team won't be picking top 5 next year so will you have a shot at getting a better prospect than any of the big 3 right now? You don't know but its not likely top prospects fall out of the top 5.

 

When first reading you're title I thought you meant would it be better to draft a bust or an above average guy like Dalton or Alex Smith. In that case it would be better to draft a bust because a teams goal is not to go one and done in the playoffs every year. Dalton and Smith have been surrounded by arguably the best overall rosters in the league, and they still haven't reached a SB. It would be better to draft someone who sucks so the team can reset and try to find someone who is better than just above average. 

 

I understand the impression that the title makes, I'm just not skilled enough to lay out the scenario in one or two sentences. Apologies for that but I do appreciate you reading through the original post.

 

My counter to your "draft a bust so we can replace him" approach is that nothing is really holding Cincinnati and Kansas City back from drafting a Quarterback. They can draft one this season and even trade up to do so if they so desire. Know what's cool about that? They still have a strong roster and they just added a Quarterback to it.
