I'd go so far to argue if you fuck up the GM/coach it doesn't matter who you pick at qb. Purdy succeeded because Kyle S. knows how to develop players.

I get that argument, but then how does that explain why he couldn't do the same with Lance?

I am going to say it is between the ears issue. Matt Stover once said there were 100 kickers better than he was but they didn’t have the mental fortitude for the NFL. imagine QB is the same.

Same reason Jay Gruden did it with Kirk when he couldn't do it with RG3?

Idk Chief I'm not the qb whisperer.

My entire point is if Harris and co. fucks up the GM/coaching staff and they fuck up the qb it might set this franchise back years to come. GM and coach is just as important as the roster.

I'm not saying pick one guy and leave it alone - I agree you have to keep swinging until you hit one. The book isn't closed on Howell either, he might just need a few years of development.

That's why I believe there's a lot of luck involved. SF was unlucky with Lance, and lucky with Purdy. Which is precisely why you have to keep swinging, as you said.

That is also a perfect example though, of the "experts" not having it right. Trey Lance was highly touted, while Brock Purdy was an afterthought.

They also have competent coaches coaching him up. Purdy would still be an afterthought if he was drafted by us or several other teams. Couple that with the competent individuals making personnel decisions to put a team around him and boom. It is why GM is such an important decision for us going forward. He will hire the right coaches and put the right pieces around whoever our quarterback is.

Basically exactly what Mooby said.

I want trying to pick on Mooby

My pint was weather you muss on a pick or don’t pick at all until you find your QB1 franchise guy you are set back

So in my opinion just keep buying those scratchers and pray

I hope the sauce was good tonight mred.

We agree on this. Maybe I'm just jaded from years of mediocrity. Good teams draft good players no matter where they pick. Having a high pick makes it easier but is absolutely no guarantee of success.

It seems like females have this lighting thumb texting down , I am one finger Fred poking in the dark like it’s prom night with my date

That's my biggest fear, that the new guys want to come in and make a show of it by trading up. This could be the RG3 scenario all over again.
