I don’t know where I stand on the Mulughetta issue, I certainly see more talk about that and character than about the fact that CJ was a polished athlete, a great prospect coming out, an immediate upgrade at the most important position with room to develop. That will all come down to coaching.
If things go well, this team probably has a year for CJ to find his feet, and opens a Super Bowl window next season when the we have ammunition to add the elite receiver, a really good ILB.
Then it will be more important to see how the production line of the lower picks is working out, are those guys getting coached up?
If you have any confidence in this coaching staff (and I think you are barking up the wrong tree if you are spending your leisure time following this team and can’t muster optimism at this point) then that is the road map for success, any contract issues and ‘hostage taking’ negotiations would come at the very end of that Super Bowl window for the majority of top QBs who’s own contracts begin to detract from the team around them at that point anyway.
So I’m not well up on college football, CJ is a QB that can make all the throws, right? Bit Of a departure from what has worked for Kubes/Shanny in that he has more physical tools and less proof of the processing, but we have a coaching staff that seem like great teachers who should be able to bring him along. is that a fair assessment?
