But has the earth moved while watching any of them throw yet?

What I noticed about Sanders, is the ball comes out low. I see many batted passes in his future

I didn’t think Sanders could be the guy when he was a projected first rounder. At this point I’m just trying to figure out if he’s good enough to beat out Pickett or Gabriel for a roster spot.

At the end of the day, I think this front office is trying to win as many games as possible and will want Picketts experience over taking the time to develop TWO rookies. So, I really think the is a Flacco starter, Pickett back up and the only real competition is who to keep as the 3rd string development. It’s Sanders v Gabriel.

Not sure Sanders is even decent trade bait after so many passovers in the draft. Finding a partner to move him might be a challenge. However, we don't need to get too much for him to make it a plus for us. Using him as part of a swap deal for a position we need more provokes some thought about options. Trading dad as well, I suspect.

This makes me think that part of the plan may be to simply build up and show off Sanders and turn our 5th into like a 3rd or 2nd next year. Make him look good enough and some team will bite. Someone has a QB go down early every year.

Listening to a few interviews, I think I agree with you, Purp. This "find" could help us if the pick is two or three rounds higher, maybe a working OL utility player. Or swap for a proven "tush push" specialist or a big WR. I want to see him when the NFL bullets are pressuring him. Waiting for reality. We don't need no steenkink controversy in the QB room.

IMO Joe will start. I hope I'm wrong but to me none of the other 3 QB's we have will be anything more than mediocre and backups. Again, I hope I'm wrong and we can develop one.

I think "develop" is they key here. I don't believe either of the two rookies can possibly be ready by the regular season and both will take time to develop if they are ever worthy of being NFL starters. I don't claim to have any idea if either of them can become NFL starters. Only time can answer that question.
