Lots of season left to be played. If Allen plays the next 6 games and goes 2-4, throws 4 TD’s to 6 INT’s, and generally looks the same as he did last game, do you think about QB in rounds 1 or 2?

build around Allen this off-season.  Bring in young, talented OL, WR, and RB help.   If Allen is not successful next year, draft another QB.   Then we will have the framework for a QB to be successful.    I'd also bring in a QB coach ASAP.   Look at Goff pre and post McVey.

I say keep drafting them even if you love your starter.The Pats keep drafting qb’s and keep trading them for higher draft picks..Plus it would be nice to have two capable real quarterbacks on the team.Injuries are a reality at that position...Go Bills!!

Why draft?!  With so many cast offs out there, the devoted fan base here will always be able to advise for a trade (sometimes even before the trade deadline), or just signing someone who's vacationing with family in the sunny south.  Hey, isn't that Noonan Peterson over there?!  Bring him in!!!

We can’t do that.    Need lineman and wideouts

I think if the right guy falls in the middle rounds - we'll probably take one this year.

 

From a pure numbers standpoint they only have Allen under contract past this season. Barkley will probably re-sign. But they'll need another arm. And unless Allen lights it up the rest of the way - it's just smart to hedge your bets a little bit. Like Trent Edwards the year after JP Losman (not a great example since NEITHER panned out, but you get the point).

 

But as for taking another one in Round 1 - Allen has at least another season before we can be considering that.

I’ll be surprised if they draft a QB in 2019...

 

Seems like they only want to keep 2 on the roster and I’m assuming they keep Barkley but even if he signs elsewhere then they will get another vet to replace him considering the debacle of this year...

 

Maybe they pick up an UDFA as a camp arm

Not this year. Too many holes.

 

Realistically, if Allen doesn't drastically improve next season, McBeane will likely be gone and the new regime would want their own guy.

 

I understand the point made about a Trent Edwards type insurance plan, but this particular coach and GM are tied to Allen for better or worse.

They should look at a qb every year until one has been found.  Obviously not in the first round next year but I’m fine with any other round.  If your worst case is you have 2 good qbs, that’s a great problem to have.

You look at QB's every year. This is the NFL - Not For Long league. Even if you think you have your franchises guy, you always need a solid #2. If you have him, then you are looking at  developmental QB who could step in and play if necessary by year #2.

With the cap the way it is, you need a solid QB on a rookie deal on your roster, especially if you are paying your franchise guy in his second contract. 

You also always need to be looking for that sleeper QB in rounds 4-6 who could be the next Cousins, Wilson, Brady.

 

Remember the Skins drafted Cousins in the 4th after taking RG3 in the first. People thought they were crazy but look how it turned out.
