If you pick the wrong QB as "your guy" chances are you won't get to pick the next one.

Rex ryan is a rare case of a coach who got a second chance after picking the wrong QB but he went to 2 AFC title games. Most aren't that lucky
and thats exactly why you pick the qb only when you have a good skeleton of a team assembled. its much easier to play decent with good team and not so good qb when you miss, than completely tank if you miss a qb on dysfunctional team

take most successful qbs drafted in 1st/2nd right now besides peyton (once in a lifetime specimen) and luck

big ben...drafted by defense/run game team that had success with thrash qbs, great situation
flacco...same thing
matt ryan...arriving to a team with great oline and sick run game, good situation
rodgers...sat behind favre on a good team
kaep...started on a team that was very good after harbaugh, great situation
russ wilson...started on a team that was already very good, great situation
brees...played next to LT, matured in SD, had sean p take him to next level

very few qbs were drafted high up and werent once in lifetime prospects, that changed the scenery when thrown to wolves...cam and eli only come to mind, and it took eli many years, and he was still carried by D, so is cam somewhat.

plugging in a qb to a ready team is far more efficient, and profitable than doing it the other way around....by the time you build a team around the qb youre expected to pay him a fifth of the cap

i'm happy to see kaep get his money and the last couple of drafts were for this very reason. baalke isn't dumb and loaded up on picks to replace players like iupati, crab and any other big name free agent. i trust the 9ers FO.

No ones disputing it's easier to win while the QB is on his first contract at the team is on it's way up. Wee disputing letting him walk and replacing him with a replacement level player...they don't exist.

for a team that is shytty...it has zero difference. you say yourself only winning the bowl matters. well did it fukking matter who was at qb for falcons this year ?
for a team that is good...like arizona, they paid carson what 4-5 mil with only the third year being 10 mil (and they can cut him and not give him that )

maybe youll understand this when you'll realize that qb is just another position and not a deity to pray to every day.

having a good, not elite qb, doesnt mean jack shyt if your team isnt good enough. and when your team is good enough, carson palmer and alex smith look decent/good

How the fukk he got more guaranteed $$$ then any other elite QB in the NFL. :mjlol:


Also does this mean that Crabtree is going to hit the market? If so Chip, Howie make it happen. :mjpls:
iupati crabs and aldon are hitting FA next year...aint a way in hell we can afford all three, and itll be a minor miracle if we can sign two of these

49ers..Braves..Celtics
Everyone in this thread is smarter than Baalke and Harbs, didn't you know the coli is full of aspiring GMs :mjlol:

Sure it's a lot of money to tie into Kap but if they don't pay him someone else will. This is the going rate. If you nikkas got a halfway decent QB best believe he will be getting his hundred milly too. Stafford, all them nikkas :heh:

:manny:

the falcons went 4-12, and dont have much short term hope on the horizon. :dead: @ "but who else is out there" there is a bevy of motherfukkers that could have gotten them to 4-12, and to 6-10 or whatever their record will be this upcoming season because they have a shytty roster

Carson Palmer is awful

Please stop acting like Atlanta is Oakland. Atlantas best players are young they will be fine. Long term

iupati is already a goner, his replacement was drafted.

aldon isnt a fa until 2016

crabs will be in a very deep wr pool, his value will actually go down

Crabs will be back. The others gotta go. SF knows that.
