Unless you have a Prescott situation with DAL (dominant OL, workhorse RB and at least one receiving threat) then it might not be the best idea to start a rookie QB. If the QB comes from a pro style offense then he has a better chance of starting as a rookie but learning to take snaps from under center when you played in a spread or shotgun offensive formation make take some time to get use to, a training camp and preseason aren't going to be enough.

The gap between college football and the pros is being filled towards the college game because the NFL has no choice. Because the style of play has been so wide, the college players cannot assimilate to a pro style anymore which is now so much removed from the new approach they experience... so yes, we can start a rookie and have success because they are no longer entering a league which is able to play in the known pro style in my opinion

The only thing with that is unless an NFL coach is willing to implement an offense similar to the college system the rookie QB played so well in college then it won't work. It took Palmer 2 years to grasp BA's offensive system and he was a 10 year vet who played in pro-style offenses for years. That is why I wonder if Keim is looking for a coach that will run an offense a college QB would be ready to start Day 1 in.The gap between college football and the pros is being filled towards the college game because the NFL has no choice.

We need a bridge QB for reasons already stated, but primarily that the draft happens after free agency. And we don’t have a single QB under contract.
With a new coach, we are allowed to have a veteran minicamp before the draft. To have a minicamp, you need at least a couple of guys to throw the ball.
We can’t be forced into a position where we HAVE to pick the 4th/5th/6th QB because we have no contingency plan. I guess it all depends on how you define a bridge QB, but we at least need some guys on the roster.

Exactly what I was thinking, the answer to the question is no. We just need a QB right now.

I wasn’t much of a Stanton fan until the last 2 games of the season. Drew looked so much better than Blaine.

2 things: not under contract...has played in BAs system, which I presume a new coach not named Bettcher or Goodwin is going to shitcan. Resigning him would depend on his ability to operate a completely new offense.

QB D Stanton is as good as a lot of QB's I saw this year. The Cardinals have won games with him. Why can't Stanton be the bridge?
Stanton and Bridgewater / any reject Vikings QB will put up the same results... but at least we know what to expect with Stanton. You can view Bridgewater as a project and expect results and be dissspointed when he doesn’t produce or view Stanton as what he is and not be disappointed when he doesn’t produce

I'm the world's biggest Stanton supporter, but he was the perfect backup for years because of how well he knew Arians' system, not his raw ability as a QB. In a new system, he could be questionable. He was like an extra coach that could step in and sling it.
Keenum could be the same thing under Shurmur.

No we don't he is a FA

This is a good point. The only difficulty/balancing act is to get a bridge QB that can, in a real pinch, start, without settling for a bridge QB to the point that the team doesn't go after a young QB in the draft.

I am so torn on this. I'd love to trade up and get our QBOF this Draft. And if the defense was the part of our team in shambles, I'd really advocate for it. But it isn't. Our offense needs a rebuild in the entire WR Corps and 3/5's of the O-Line. We have loads of draft picks to fill some of those vacancies, but if we trade them away, we will be relying on $50 million in cap space to bolster those positions, which potentially means losing some of our core players when their FA hits over the next couple of years.
But, you gotta do what you gotta do.

If it makes you feel any better, it's really unlikely that we're going to be able to get into a good enough position to move up for either of the top two guys.
It's not worth being disappointed about, because it's like me being mad that this year I can't go into space.
