like any other qb.   

not really he was drafted very young and much less experienced than pretty much everyone else.  I think 3-4 years is too long to wait and we are down one already.

I mean, may it take longer for AR to reach his full potential because of his age, rawness, and lack of experience….maybe yes maybe be no, but that’s for any qb.  There’s maybe one qb every few or so years that comes in and is ready to go.  Look at the past 5-10 drafts and you’ll see what I’m saying.  Even Pat Mahomes had to sit before he touched the field.  Trust me, it’s a short list.  

 

NFL fans (and teams alike) have been spoiled with the thought of QBs coming in right away and getting into done when in reality that’s not the case.  ARs timeline/trajectory is going to be very similar to Josh Allen’s and tbh Allen didn’t start to really get it until Diggs came around.  A QBs development is dependent upon not just the qb himself, but the personnel, the coaches, the system.  
 

Question, what would you have done in our situation?  Draft Levis?  I mean, I agree with you, I was one of the people on this board that wanted to do whatever we needed to get stroud, but it didn’t happen.  So We were either going to draft AR or Levis.  And if you didn’t want either one of them then you’re pretty much onboard with a full blown rebuild and waiting until next year because no other qb was worth drafting in the first round.  And to be real, AR would’ve been a top 3 QB in this past draft also.

I hope AR bombs one over this S's head. I don't even care if it's covered and falls incomplete, just bomb it down there to let them know you can.

In the 1982 March Madness Championship Game (Michael Jordon’s Freshman Year), Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing Goal-Tended UNC’s first several shots- just to let them know he could…

The problem is that we are not just waiting on AR to mature. We have very bad football being played in a lot of positions. Also, it was the GM that set expectations for the fans when he said we should compete for the division and playoffs. The team we have seen the last two weeks is only competing for a top 5 pick. This is wayyyyyyyyyyy more than just AR being young and needing to grow. Right now we have a QB that is setup to fail with a bad defense , other than AP, wr's that are underperforming, no TE's and coaches making very questionable decisions and there is way too much pressure on our young QB to carry an underperforming team around him and that is a recipe for disaster.
