Alex Effect - 2019 Draft

[Ruhskins]

Unless the teams falls off the cliff and loses out, Colt lights it up like Nick Foles, or he decides to retire, the team is going with Alex next year. That doesn't mean that the team cannot draft a young QB to groom behind Alex.

I know people want to write Alex off, but name me another FA QB that has worked out this year? Ironically, Kirk Cousins has gone to a much more talented team, and still has roughly the same record that we have (technically ours is better). Casey Keenum hasn't lit it up in Denver either.

And are people willing to write Alex off after just 10 games? Shit, how many years did we wait for Cousins to make this a winning team? If the team gave Kirk two years are 40+ mil, I'm willing to give Alex more than 10 games.

I'm not justifying or defending Alex's bad performances this year, but what other option do we have?

How do you know? Colt may play well enough to keep the job going into camp. Then you add in a young guy, that leaves Smith in limbo really. His salary dictates that he'll be on the team, but the chances of him being the starter are slim if you ask me.

Also Cousins had never been a full time starter and was much younger. Smith has had several years being a starter and we already know who he is as a player. So the options are Colt, or a rookie who has more of a ceiling than Colt and Smith.

If Alex was completely cleared to play, I'd be fine with going into 2019 with Alex and Colt again. But with this injury, there is just no way we'll know if Alex will be ready to play week 1 by the time the draft rolls around. I don't want Colt as QB1, a JAG as QB2, and Alex on the PUP to start the season. So I think we have to draft a guy. The question is how high to me.

Long ways away as others have said but its def something to worry about

Also Alex's contract had a guaranteed 44M over the next 3 years even if an Injury happened.

Colt would have to play really well down the stretch here to take the job, I also think Smith would need to have some sort of setback to not enter the season as the starter.

I like Tyree Jackson out of Buffalo University....he's 6'7 245....has a very strong arm and very athletic....he will probably have to sit a year and learn the pro game...has a very good highlight reel...on the nfl level he will have to learn to scan the field better....has a habit of looking one way before delivering a pass....which will make it easy for NFL CBs to read his eyes and intercept his passes....but he's overall a quality prospect.

No chance. He's such a bad passer. I grade his games weekly, yeah he's big but dude has no touch at all and makes bad decisions.

As of now(2018) he has a 24 to 10 TD to INT ratio....he's not Andrew Luck but the kid can play...all he needs is coaching.

He also has a top 5 WR in the country on his side, and he plays in a very weak conference.

Hmm....Antonio Brown(Central Michigan) and Khalil Mack(Buffalo University) also came from that conference....I don't think we can determine how good or how poor a player will be in the NFL based on what school he played for....there are players who played for division 2 programs playing in the NFL...

He's a late round pick in my opinion. He's a physical freak. There is no doubt about that. However, as you pointed out, he needs a lot of work. I do believe can be good with some good coaching.

Jackson is a 7th round or UFA project.
