I'm so conflicted on our QB situation...
I'm trying to keep an open mind and remain positive, but it ain't easy. Lol.
Here are a few thoughts and questions:
Can Fisher bring himself to hire a bright and creative OC that has the ability to develop a QB? Whether that QB is a rookie, or damaged goods like Foles, a journeyman like Keenum, a Mannion, RG3, Kaep, or whomever? Such an OC could pay BIG dividends.
Assuming Fisher does hire such an OC with a bright mind, will Fisher actually allow the OC to freely install and execute his own O? Like Vermeil did with Martz? Not that I think a Martz type O is either wanted or needed, but you get my point, huh?
I see some posters suggesting that RG3 or Kaep might be a good solution for us. First, what evidence is there that our current coaching staff is capable of developing QB's? The evidence seems quite to the contrary, actually.
With regard to possibly adding RG3, I have this question. Jay Gruden developed Cousins quite nicely, yet couldn't do the same for RG3. What does that say about RG3?
Is our future franchise starting QB gonna come from this draft? Looking like a longshot right now. But don't we have to take our best shot at #15? Not for this year, but maybe for beyond that?
Can Keenum be our bridge QB? I think so. An excellent OC might do wonders for this overall O. And I fully expect the addition of a top drawer WR and TE this offseason via either draft or FA. Those could turbocharge our O and our options.
I think Fisher knows that he needs to start winning in LA in his final contract year. That could mean that he might be open to new methods to increase scoring on O. Could have a positive effect on our O strategies.
In summary, I think we can be a playoff team this year even with Keenum, if necessary. But it will require a slight change of philosophy on Fisher's part plus a new OC, WR, and TE. Anything beyond that is pure gravy.
