We need to draft a QB if we don’t wanna lose Tae. AOC is already 25 and he’s not shown me enough. I think he can be serviceable but we need more than that to turn this franchise around.
Why not? He’s completes passes at a pretty good percentage, showed a few games, really good percentage. A better OL keeps the pocket cleaner for him. Better play calling/playbook should help too. I think a mix of Andre James funny snaps and Mack being red hot contributes to the fumbles vs chargers. A few of the picks he has were great plays by the D, esp the Ramsey pick yesterday. And if Tucker was 3-5” taller he stops that or snatches it himself as he could take a different angle or aoc could throw it a bit higher. Also, tucker needs to go to the ball more not sit on passes, which he’ll learn. I am definitely not saying he’ll be Gannon, Stabler. I don’t think anything is pointing that he’ll be JaMarcus or A. Walter. Could he be a Brad Johnson or Steve McNair type, good game manager with an ok deep ball when needed?
There have been plenty of QBs that didn’t terrorize the league themselves that at made a SB on the back of a great D and run game. Dilfer won a SB with that crazy Ravens D, a great run game. He just had to not fumble or throw a pick. Brad Johnson similar on that team I will not speak of. Matt Hasselback (lost but made it to SB) Basically russell Wilson as he was unknown and had legion of boom, beast mode, good enough OL. Rex Grossman made the SB on the Bears great D. Brady the first few you could make an argument it was mainly D that got them there.
Beef up our o-line and replace Peters and I think we are a real problem for the league
AOC is still the QB in this league terrifying scenario?

This is all good, wise insight from an old head like me. Having a McNair would be fucking deadly with our team.
Thank you. D looks better than it has in a long time, but our O-line is pathetic.
