    Who do you want to be the Raiders QB in 2023?

    Carr is gone. Who should the QB be in 2023?

    1. Re-sign Jarrett Stidham as the starter. It's a low cost option and he does know McDaniels' playbook. He also
    doesn't have a lot of experience. He did play better compared to Carr, but we also lost the two games he started.
    People say he will be better if we fix the OL and D. So would Carr, or any other QB. Would the players be happy
    with Stidham as the starter going into the season? Would free agents sign to play with him? There is risk that he could get worse.
    He played better against SF compared to KC.


    2. Draft a QB with the 7th pick in the draft. If they do this, the rookie would be the starter. Teams can't sit a top ten pick.
    How long would it take for the rookie to learn McDaniel's playbook? Would Adams and other vets be willing to stick around?
    Also, why would Stidham re-sign when he has no future with the team? Lots of risk here as well.
    I think this years QB draft class is weak and risky. Also, the 7th draft pick could be used to improve other positions.
    Finally, does McDonalds have time to develop a rookie? A bad start next season and I think he gets fired

    3. Sign an established vet. Brady and Garoppolo know McDaniels' playbook. With Brady, Stidham probably re-signs to learn under
    the GOAT for a year or two. With Garoppolo, Stidham probably would sign elsewhere due to Garoppolo's age and a lower
    chance to be the starter in the future. Would Adams and other players rather play for an established vet?
    Would an established vet be more likely to attract free agents? A vet would cost money, not draft picks unless it's Rodgers.

    Ziegler and McDaniels have to treat this decision like their jobs depend it, because they probably do.

    Regarding Tom Brady. A lot of Raiders fans despise him. I'm one of them. So I ask you this, would Al Davis sign Tom Brady?
    What was Al Davis' motto? Just win, baby. Tom Brady has taken his team to the playoffs each of the last 13 years. I say, just win.

    Tom Brady is not the answer for the future. If at #7, a QB you feel will be the future you have to take him. I would prefer this to be the case, there are no veterans out there that are good enough or will be in the league long enough for me to want that route. If at #7 your QB of the future is not there do NOT reach, then you go for a stop gap vet.

    So I would prefer #2


    "Also, why would Stidham re-sign when he has no future with the team?" whothe F cares...

    I'd say draft BUT I think we need defensive pieces too. I'd like us to trade back into the first round. I'd trade Waller for a 2nd right now and then package picks to up into the middle of round 1. Draft one of the top QBs early and draft defense in the middle of the round or the reverse. I only know of Stroud and Young and know of no other QBs though...

    This team has offensive weapons to win now. Outside of gutting the roster, I would have to sign Brady. The future be damned. We take BPA at 7. There is no guarantee Levis will be there at 7. To take option 2, is a gamble, you don't know who is going to be availble, Levis goes crazy at the combine....he goes top 5, a team will move up to get him....then what....no QB.

    1 and 3 is low risk high reward, you force the bull by getting YOUR guy in house....the draft is a crapshoot unless you mortgage the future to move up and guarantee yourself one of the top 3 guys who should be starting Day1.

    Tom Brady for a year or two, draft a QB in the later rounds, or wait to draft a QB next year.

    To start out with; signing Tom Brady does
    not guarantee us a place in the playoffs and
    Brady is only a short term fix….only problem
    is that the raiders have to make decisions before
    the draft on trying to bring Brady in…it not like;
    Tom can you wait till after the draft on what we
    are going to do with regard to signing you.

    Sounds like the Raiders are going after Brady and if that don’t happen then Garoppolo.

    Hondo Carpenter has the odds of the Raiders signing Brady at 80%. He said the Raiders are 100% in on Brady and the 80% odds is based on Brady not taking the offer.
