For our QB, wouldn't mind waiting a year for that Son of Color guy, last name McCall.

Really good piece. Will be interesting to see what happens.

The last part is exciting with the young edge players. One big reason not to fire Pete was that we were already 2 years into the rebuild. But, if Mac likes what we have done (Boye, Hall etc.) with some of our higher draft picks then that is huge. Cutting/trading and restarting with "their guys" when coaches move in is brutal.

I think the QB question was laid out well. However, I find it interesting that people see JS press conference and say he had a luke warm response to a Geno question. I didn't see that at all. One thing I did see was his response to how close do you think this team is? JS said that he believed the team was close. How can you be close if you don't like your QB? That may suggest that Geno is QB1 next year.

Or

Most reports say that JS has always liked Lock since the draft. If so, maybe he moves on the Lock to give him a shot at QB1 from training camp on. With the real possibility of longer term duty

Either way, I think that we will be getting back to the early days of JS. It is not just that Pete and John liked Russ ... It's that they looked everywhere for a QB. FA, trade, late round rookie. These guys had no problem searching. I would think that could happen again.

I am with Joe on the top rookies ... I just don't see it fitting with the 16th pick. But, I could see third round or later (with the obvious intention sitting and not starting).

Overall, I think the QB decision at this point is not all that important. Unless JS really thinks the team is close then I would think it will be Geno. But the bigger and most important question they have to get right is the OC.
