What would be the point in drafting a new QB before we fix the Oline up? Again today it was letting people threw and both Jimmy and Nick were getting smashed. No QB is going to last long before getting broke with out Oline. Jimmy should have been out for at least 6-8 weeks to heal properly but Kyle took the risk and now Jimmy is going to be out when we need him most. Our Oline is a QB destroyer.
They do need an answer at C, but at this point they also need a QB that has some level of escapability from the pocket. Just enough of a threat to change the point of attack and buy that extra half second of hesitation/confusion from pass rushers. Jimmy use to be able to do that with his quick release instead of any pocket waggle, but now that seems to be mostly gone, and teams with the right blitz personnel are just eating him up because he will always be at the location they expect him to be in that pocket.
