Selling out only does one thing and it's not a good option. If they pass up on a QB, I certainly fault them for not making an attempt, but the other option is lunacy from a management/ownership standpoint. That tells the fans that they can intimidate the club into doing whatever they want. That franchise is 100% guaranteed destined for absolute ruin.

It's a valid point. I mean, you can't cede full control to the inmates ... if, that is, you don't want the wrong people to get lobotomized. Ideally, we should only want the correct people to get lobotomized ... not the incorrect ones. They are the ones who should receive the underwater shock treatment with brain screws.
On the other hand, we don't want to be the only NFL team without any hope whatsoever at the quarterback position.
Depending on how the draft shapes up, it could be a tough call. A reach isn't great and there doesn't appear to be a slam dunk in this class ... or, at least, one hasn't yet emerged.
But surely everybody from Clark on down gets the joke on this deal ... finally. We're not going anywhere fast with no quarterback and if we don't make the effort (including enduring the potential risk factors), our best players today will be our retired players by the time we finally find one. No ... the more you look at the situation, the more you realize that we have to pull the trigger in the next draft. There really isn't any other option ... fan pressure, or no.
