WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021

[Chief X_Phackter]

Apparently there's two situations where Alex Smith (and his camp) felt slighted which led to Alex's comments.

1. Rivera saying that if Washington had a healthy Kyle Allen, they likely would have been in the same position as they were with Smith. (which is probably very true)

2. The fact that he did not start in Washington's playoff game. (Really?)

Gimme a break Alex.

There are rumors that the Jets will keep him and build around him, possibly trading out of #2 also. Adam S. Mentioned it on Get up today

He was awful in most of his games, he is done. Arm is weak and he can’t move at all anymore. Dude has 1 leg

Wentz will be the 4th 1st round pick the Colts will start at QB since 2000.

That's nuts

And they were 1st overall, 1st overall, 4th overall and now 1st overall. It's not as if they were just first round picks. They were extreeeeemely high first round picks.

Yep which tells us that QB is very important but you still need a team around them of course

It does? That stat is odd to me or non sense

It doesn’t tell me anything.

If anything it tells me QB is a position teams over reach for in the draft.

Off the top of my head I guess the team with the most SB wins over the last 20 years had a 5th rounder starting at QB for them the majority of the time.

I think getting a true franchise QB is literally like winning the NFL lottery. There is a lot luck involved in landing that guy.

Best not to trade away too much or as some say put all your eggs in one basket ... there is a huge difference ..

Exactly.

Using our team name in conversation just sounds/reads so funny.

Lets say we draft a qb with our spot, he busts, the next year we pick top 15 winning because of our D. We take another qb. He also busts now we have wasted the picks and still dont have a solution. This is the cycle we have been in.

You take a risk in any move, and all you have to do is look at all the qb busts in the league to know that IF you can get a major confirmed talent you pay and be happy about it.

I really hope he retires. He is a shell of himself. One good hit on that leg and it would get messy... hope his wife convinces him to retire

It is but I enjoy it. Whenever I am at one my kids sporting events and I hear another parent shout "come on team lets go!" I like to think man there are a lot of Washington fans here.

If he wanted to be a backup he would stay here. He wants to be a starter.

That's what they should do if they believe Darnold is salvageable. They currently have six of the top 100 picks, and could turn that into at least 8, plus picks next year.

WFT has 8 total picks this year - imagine having 8 just in the top 100...plus 3 more.
