Rivers sat 2 years. Back then, there was a much bigger divide between franchise QB and the next tier of guys. Rivers has always been well paid, he has also not been a bitch about it, and never made it totally about money. He has been content to be among the top tier of QB, but not the top, and we have had some cap flexibility because of it. He is still not among the highest paid QB in the league, although he is being paid somewhat more upfront so that we get the discount in the amount he counts vs the cap.
I just don't see going after a top QB with the way things are panning out among QB paychecks. Kirk Cousins and Osweiler are both being paid at or above what Rivers is, and have not proven they are anywhere near the same level of QB play. We can accomplish the same developmental type thing with a QB if we draft a QB later, without the risk of losing a top pick in 5 years, and without the risk of stuck eating a huge contract that a player really hasn't shown he can sustain.
Plus, I think we will keep seeing more and more QB prospects out there. Not necessarily the top end guys (they are always rare), but the middle round guys are throwing a lot more passes then in the past, getting a lot more exposure. Grab one in two years, when Rivers will definitely not be overlapping too much, and get a kid who needs to develop some (and knows it), then we can have a guy sit 2 years and really develop them with a 2nd/3rd round pick.

i don't think this is the year to find a developmental qb unless you can find one that has so much talent that it wouldn't matter who was coaching them. MehCoy may or may not even be here by next year, maybe Whiz will develop him? Whiz has not exactly developed anybody outside of Ben's first few years....then we also have a bunch of no names as qb coach, last year it was Siriani who, just like when he was an assistant with KC, got moved to wr coach after only one season....and our current qb coach, Schleichen spent time with the Browns qbs as Offensive QC coach (quality control and Browns QBs dont go together LOL), but prior to joining the Poops he was a chargers defensive qc coach. it's like a Brian Schottenheimer scenario.......

How about a vintage Gold Miner?

I can remember when the CFL was a place where QBs went to die as well.

For me, you have to take Buckner if he's there. Ramsey won't help this team enough, IMO. Tunsil would be great but he won't be there unless the Titans trade down and the Titans trading out of the top spot would throw every mock scenario out the window.
Focus on the trenches TT.sigpic
