QB position in 2026

I agree dumping a lot of cap money for Mac or Malik is not the way to go.

We have Howard. I like the man, but he did not play outside of early camp where he was starting to make some noise.


We can

1. Trade up for Mendoza ( offering say or 1st, 2nd,3rd and next year first round pick ) .

2. Draft Simpson and gamble that he will be there. He was a very good one year wonder with a thin resume and will likely need at least a year to start in the NFL.

3. Roll with Howard or Rudoplh and spend 3 a round two or three. Maybe Beck or Allar.


First we must find a new Head coach and Offensive coordinator.

 

Drew Allar has been terrible and shown zero growth as a QB.

They tried to hide him in big games because they didn’t trust him.

He will be lucky to get drafted at all. Probably a 6th or 7th round pick at best.

I have to give it to his PR team. People always talk about his physical traits but what I witnessed wasn’t impressive at all physically.

Please stop saying his name as a potential pick. He’s terrible.

 

Will Howard, what else are we going to do?

We spent a 3rd on him, let's take a look. What's the point of the pick otherwise?

Draft looks awful at QB, and we're too low anyway, take a flyer later maybe.

The draft capital, which is substantial (4th best on toal overall) we have needs to go on foundational pieces for a rebuild.

The QB is highly unlikely to be founf this year, unless it does indeed turn out to be Howard.

There's holes all over we unsuccesfully tried to paper over, let's stop doing that and try and find long term solutions.

All the run it back people have had their shot, they failed and their run it back coach has gone, let's try a different approach and **** the record. I don't care.

 

what?
6th no?

 

We never sniffed the super bowl once our QB stopped "playing the field"

 

No Joel they can’t do that

hey girl, sup?

 

Wouldn't mind Mac jones, but I want to see howard. If we go with Howard I'd like to see them draft one as well. Keep the pipeline full. Altmyer from Illinois would be my choice. No first rounder.

 

is there an updated thread somewhere?

 

I don’t wanna see Malik Willis or Kyler Murray her Justin Fields Take our lumps and let’s get one. There’s no quick fixes tired of the washed up quarterback situation.

 

The HC/OC combination will have a huge say in what we do at QB. The Shanahan offense would be excellent for someone like Jones to be a stop gap starter, but maybe they really like Howard and Rudolph and decide that Jones is a lateral move. Maybe the new HC/OC doesn't like either of them and wants to swing on Simpson. Or Willis, or Daniel Jones even.... Idk.

Personally, I hope we don't spend a pick on a QB in the first 3 rounds. Its more important to build a good roster to insulate the next young QB than it is to force a young QB because we're afraid of not having a great QB room in 2026. Lots still has to happen before we start speculating.

 

That is a chart made by Jimmy Johnson. He who writes such a piece makes his trade rules is his favor. A talented coach and GM he was.

This is a media guideline. Real GM's do not abide by it, they take deals when they think it is in their favor. The chart itself does not explain how good the #1 overall pick is projected to be. Is he Andrew Luck? Or JaMarcus Russell like the Raiders picked #1 overall?!

Any poster can learn for any ohter, including what not to do in football. I think you offer us the opportunity to do the latter.

Now since I propose a trade that that gives up less points by that chart, I am making a good deal in your eyes.

And the Raiders just might take it knowing their dolt of an owner.

 

Go with Will. If he's terrible draft a high pick with a QB the following season.

Enter rebuild mode.

They will get a 'veteran' QB. Probably mid tier to average.

 

Joel sometimes you just have to admit when you are wrong

It’s part of growing up

 

Picking at #21, to move up to #1 overall???

it would take a Hershel Walker-type haul to get up to #1.

maybe 3 firsts, several established players , someone’s left nut and Robert krafts massage parlor to move up like that.

im guessing khan will maneuver to move up in 2027 draft, hoping that’s a better QB draft class.

…although it’s nauseating to think that our QB for all of next season might be Mason….

 

Bring back Justin Fields

 

2 of those QBs won playoff games.

 

honestly i think they ride with mason and will....let them battle it out in preseason. i would imagine they take a flyer on a QB in rd 3 or 4. but i also expect they will hire an OC that can scheme to make a QB and his WRs operate in more winning scenarios.

they have to like something about howard. they kept him on iR when most teams would cut loose a 6th rd rookie QB.

 

Nah, that's not good enough they need to bring in more competition at QB.

 

God no. This guy is garbage.

 

I chose Howard, not cause I necessarily think he’s the answer, but I hope he is. I would love to see them bring in a younger veteran quarterback for competition. Unless they can pull off the deal of a century and trade for someone like Josh Allen or Justin Herbert.

 

Correct
Under contract through 2027
Probably could still get him
But at what price?
Of the veteran qbs , to me this would be the best bridge, until we get a franchise qb
Of course we need to get a couple of good wrs

 

Did @Blast Furnace vote for Willis 7 times?

 

Plus add some wrs
Plus for the love of petey dink
Start using the MOF
