  1. There are people here who want an OT simply because they want an OT and no matter how much information is presented to them, they will turn and hide and simply wait for the next thread to pop up when the tide may be more favorable whether or it’s lingering biases on roster construction “gotta build those trenches!” or just a generally risk averse nature and a misguided belief that OTs are “safe,” people have dug their heels in and no matter how many seasons go by, no matter how many developmental QBs get drafted and excel in front of their very eyes, they are going to want an OT because it’s an nfl fortune cookieism that Hog Molly=Good and so you can’t go wrong taking one.
  2. you know what’s a joke turning tail and running earlier in the thread when multiple people started pressing you only to try and return when after waiting for a couple discount posters to come and make an argument for you
  3. Yeah no kidding bud, thanks, the point here is that so many are waiting for it, and it isn’t going to happen.
  4. Justin fields wasn’t Trevor Lawrence and Trevor Lawrence went one overall and Jacksonville entertained no trade offers. Fields got enormous amounts of criticism on this forum last offseason, and with a few exceptions, most of the people that don’t want a QB now didn’t want him then. the people on this board wanted Lawrence, because there is a demographic of people here who believe that is the only kind of QB worth taking. Once Lawrence was out of reach, the conversation didn’t switch to the next QB. It switched to Penei sewell.
  5. will you let it go, yes, they drafted a gamecock, move on. honestly the problem wasn’t even horn, it was the parade of buttpats they got after the darnold trade that made them feel “wow, we did it, we got a QB for cheap!” i honestly still think they were entertaining QB when the trade went through and only doubled down after everyone lined up to tell them what a good boy they were
  6. I’m not combing through 8 different free agent pools for you lol, you asked for two I gave you two
  7. At some point you have to sack up and try this team hasn’t made a single attempt to replace cam Newton, they’ve drawn it out playing games deluding themselves waiting for the perfect storm to come along and pass down the perfect QB prospect at the bottom of the top 10 it isn’t going to happen. be a man Dave
  8. okay andrew whitworth (twice technically) and cameron Fleming literally just off the top of my head
  9. I’ve already named multiple, if two to three guys can reliably be found as capable veterans each offseason then I’m probably never drafting a tackle ever again.
  10. do you not remember the genesis point of this entire discussion? i am not looking for a “ten year” player at that spot because there’s no added value in having it. I would gladly take a one or two year rental at that position, over and over, indefinitely, because the impact it has on my squad would be the same. There’s no such thing as a “franchise” left tackle because there’s no added value in having the same face there.
  11. *fast forward* Willis and Corral were in contention for Top 5 picks when they came out, do your research! Need to lock down that right side! Only a few more tackles away from glory!” tradition at this point
  12. Duane brown probably already has a deal in place with a team and I hope it’s the panthers, he’s exactly the kind of player you can find from year to year in free agency.
  13. also lol at using Allen and mahomes as examples this board had those pegged as guaranteed busts under the same auspice that they have Willis pegged as one. if Josh Allen and Patrick mahomes were in this class, the same people decrying it as “weak” would still be branding it the same label
  14. pretty sure you said tackles but whatever, I was referring in the former half to Trenton and in the latter portion to Duane
  15. so you think waiting until later in the draft is preferable for finding a franchise QB? are we really still here? Is this about to be a Tom Brady in the 6th kind of thing? there is a clear mathematical track record reiterating that the higher you pick, the better your chances of success at the QB position. The best prospects are going to go there. They aren’t going 9th overall. We can find outliers, but, as with Tom Brady and the 6th round, you don’t use outliers to build a battle strategy.
  16. I would gladly take a player like terron armstead, thanks, and the team should’ve been willing to get involved in the Collins and Brown discussion. The pool of available OTs still has a number of guys I’d like to see them team sign, with teams no doubt waiting so they don’t have to guarantee their contracts but deals likely already in place in principle.
  17. okay to reiterate again the kind of QB you want isnt getting to 8 or 9 overall nor is the team possessing those top picks giving them to us just because you want them to
  18. why don’t you leave then and go lock some more threads full of your awful QB takes so nobody can see them.
  19. which, again, is not nearly good enough to acquire the kind of QB you want.
