When is the last time anyone here has seen a QB like the kind anthony lynn wants be successful in the NFL with the exception of Michael Vick and to a degree Steve Young? Look I know that Phillip Rivers will need to be replaced eventually as the chargers QB but there is a reason QB's like Geno smith and Kaepernick are not successful in the NFL and that is they do not have the ability to stay in the pocket and be good at it. When the 49ers tried to get kaepernick to stay in the pocket he was horrible. Now you take a player like Marriota who has the ability to stay in the pocket or scrample when he needs to. Now i'm not saying i'm against us drafting Lamar Jackson but if you are going to draft a player like him then make sure he can stand in the pocket and being able to stand there a few secs before throwing or deciding to scramble. Now on to Geno Smith the fact is he is a charger now so even though we all know he sucks I will support him and hopefully him and Cardale Jones can battle who wins the backup spot behind Rivers.

I'm against Lamar Jackson
I'm not against getting a more mobile QB, but almost all the QB in this draft are fairly mobile. The rest of them are better passers, even if few can equal Jackson as a thrower.
People were excited because Jackson has Vick like speed. That always scares people, especially DC.
Tim Tebow was a dangerous runner and he was a 4.7 40 time. He wasn't fast by any stretch, but he was physical and athletic, and was able to threaten defenses on the ground. The rookie QB class can be that and more if they develop as passers. They mostly run the zone read, as well as the RPO's that are starting to be popular. But that is still a read that has to be made, and Jackson, like Tebow, RG3 and Kapernick were always looking to run and not to see what the defense was doing downfield.
Unless Geno really steps things up, he is nothing more than a 3rd or 4th (if we draft a rookie or add another vet) QB to play camp arm. I am still excited to see Jones with a year in this offense and time throwing to the same bodies. We just need to bring in another body to fill out the TC roster, and we could have a great practice environment, and that makes everyone better.Comment

Just a camp arm imo.Comment

I get that he may not even make the roster when the season starts but what worries me is the type of QB that Anthony Lynn is looking at and wants as his future QB. Just look at the QB's he has brought into camp since he has been here and thats not even including Robert Griffin.Comment

I don't. Geno isn't any better than Clrmens and Cardale, he might be but he was awful last year so I don't like the signing. Hopefully he can be cut during preseason or before,and they pickup someone better.Last edited by Boltjolt; 04-01-2018, 07:21 PM.Comment

Smith got $2m from the giants for his one year deal last season. That is the ballpark he probably got from bolts.Like, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.Comment

Welp, Geno's not Johnny Football... or as he's soon to be known Johnny Canadian Football.

The main thing you have to do to be a successful back-up is stay off the field.Originally posted by chris9341 View Post
signed, Gary Kubiak, Jason Garrett, and whoever Marino's back up was before they got Scott Mitchell.Comment
