Too many around here are hoping for lightening in a bottle and while Peterman might be, it’s highly unlikely. I'd want Tom Brady, but I'd take Andy Dalton right now. He'd be better than any QB since Kelly. Tallest Lilliputian and all that but still the truth.

Tallest Lilliputian and all that but still the truth. Why go after another version of a middling QB? Dalton is not a top tier QB. Better than what we have but not exactly the guy you would want to build a team around.
Nihilarian Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I get a kick out of Gruden. Every QB he attempts to develop he throws this gigantic playbook at them and expects them to learn it all. So that at some point during a game he can call some obscure play that the rest of the team says wth is this? He overloads his QB's with a bunch of useless plays that the team will never utilize. On another note, some 2018 FA QB's, Kirk Cousins, Drew Brees, Sam Bradford.

Tallest Lilliputian and all that but still the truth. Andy Dalton is like Drew Bledsoe... don't count on much beyond a bump up in a couple of wins. He is the epitome of anti-clutch when facing strong teams.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Eventually he's bound to strike Gold!!

Too many around here are hoping for lightening in a bottle and while Peterman might be, it’s highly unlikely. Dalton is kind of streaky, but when he's playing well he has an excellent NFL skill set. I think it is the skill set that Gruden is talking about, not what happens when you pressure Dalton and he's having a bad day.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) ...pretty sure Gruden's 2017 QB draft report card for the 67 declaring was something like this: 66:solid A+ 1:A-; he was the amputee from Guam U Edited November 14, 2017 by OldTimeAFLGuy

I don't mean to be flippant, but why is that insightful? There is really NO ONE who is arguing that it would not be very advantageous to have a great QB. Everyone knows that. The difficulty lies in finding and acquiring one.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Funny thought / question how many people / fans wanted Gruden as HC in Buffalo?

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 AS others have said, Gruden loves everyone. It’s why I think he will be a head coach again. He is afraid to burn any bridges. and with all this love, why did Peterman fall to the 5th round with how desperate the nfl is for qbs? I can’t shake the Trent feel to him, which would be a good 5th pick as a backup qb.
Saxum Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 8 hours ago, TheElectricCompany said: Gruden once called Tim Tebow "250 lbs of concrete cyanide". Find me a player that he hasn't excessively hyped up. Well I agree he is poisonous but generally concrete is not vulnerable to poison so it does not make sense,

Alphadawg7 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Gruden love affairs include Tebow and Manziel. While I rather enjoy Gruden as a commentator, I have yet to meet a QB he didn't love. So I take his love affair with any QB with about as much seriousness as someone on this board. He's paid to talk about QB's and they won't go on his show if he doesn't do a warm and fuzzy piece on them, no agent would ever under any circumstance allow them to go on his show if there was the potential of hurting their draft stock. They are lobbed softball puff pieces. Regarding Manziel, he was having a melt down when he was getting passed up too. Wouldn't shut up about it. Much like Kiper when Jimmy Clausen (and tons of other failed QB's he loves) was falling.
