We are letting the dust settle around here. We are not pressed. We will let it all go for a couple of weeks or more, then it’s decision time for the entire football team. I know the quarterback situation is marquee in everyone’s minds. But we will deal with it.
A. J. Smith Quotes
I've heard that for a long, long time. I wasn't even here during the Leaf era. Our ownership was. But I can tell you this, we are open-minded to anything, whether it's using the first selection on a quarterback or getting one in free agency. If it's a first-spot quarterback, so be it. The past will not have an impact on the pick.
