I'm not sold on who we have at back up.
Brandon Allen just doesn't do it for me and I haven't seen enough of Jake Browning to feel comfortable.
If we continue to have issues on the O-line, this needs to be addressed with better talent behind Joe.
So, what say you ? Rely on a current back up, acquire a wily veteran, or draft a rookie ?
For myself, I'd probably draft a mobile guy with a decent sense of the field.
If we lose our starting QB, it will likely be from issues on the line.
Mobility could buy us a few games, until the starters return.
I'm thinking we draft Jaren Hall in the 5th or later.
There are a few veterans I'd be happy with, but I'd have to see what shook out after the draft.
I think that with this team a veteran backup is the way to go. In the event that Joe should miss a couple of games, you want someone who is experienced out there to "steer the ship", as opposed to having a developmental guy out there who may be apt to making youthful mistakes and perhaps showing a lack of confidence.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
