Its an emotional response. People fully expect 40pts since we have all these offensive weapons. But what i’ve realized is that this offensive scheme isnt built to score 40. Its built to score 30 if you make zero mistakes and run the ball for 100 yards a game. Is it fair to judge AoC based on this offense? NO. Is it fair to judge AP or BoBo in this offense? NO. But if you’re Mark Davis, you dont have a few years to try out different schemes, QBs, and coaches.
That being said, judging by people who know way more about QB play than i do, i think we’re fine at QB. AoC is a really good rookie prospect whos only going to get better and better. If we had the system that Brock Purdy or CJ Stroud plays in, we would probably say we’re set for the next 5 years.
Drafting a QB when you have other NEEDS is foolish. How many first round QBs have worked out no doubt in the last few years? Yall act like you havent seen this movie a thousand times already. Kiper and mcshay sucking off a handful of QBs every year and they just dont work out. Good teams dont keep chasing QBs. We have one who actual NFL QBs say is pretty damn good.
What dont you like about Aidan or what is he lacking that you’ve seen in 4 or 5 games? You guys keep bringing up CJ Stroud. Compare CJ Strouds 5th game to AOCs 5th game stats. Then bryce Youngs 5th game stats to AOCs. Zach Wilsons, Kenny Picketts, Brock Purdys, etc. I dont think its as big of a risk to see what year 2 AOC can do and get your franchise OL/S/CB. The reason SF can roll with Purdy is because theyve drafted other positions well enough.
We could get a starting fucking corner for the first time in FOREVER next year. A starting RT or Center. A true franchise Free Safety. I mean i’d be open to trading davante and maybe with that extra pick get a marvin harrison and a QB. Or a QB with a corner in round 1. But for one pick in the first i dont think getting a QB would be smart. They might not even be ready until year 2 and what do you do then? Play AOC until then and find out hes really good but still cant block for shit or cover anyone?
